BABY, YOU ARE FINE (2022)
While I'm working on some things that are not ready for online eyes, figured I'd post some older stuff in the meantime. This short comic is from 2022. Originally drawn for the Shortbox online fair, and later risoprinted as a zine. I intended to follow it up every year with a new comic in the same format and length but that only lasted for one year, with "Earthly worm catches the early bird" being the sequel. Then I quit comics for a little while but I'm coming back to it so, who knows, maybe more will come in this series.

Collography, 2026
A week ago I took a two-week intro to collography. Suspected I would really like this technique and I was right! I really enjoyed the process, and as a beginner to this method I couldn't very well predict the results so I was also enjoying the surprise.
I have been thinking of ways to merge my comics practice with printmaking, so I took the four-panel format from a comic strip I've been working on behind the scenes. The print is a work in its own right, aswell as a page in the strip. The plates could be moved around and replaced, making a new sequence.
Inking and wiping the plates was hard work! Spent something like 4-5 hours just making two prints, but I think my technique improved with the second one so I sped up a bit. I also printed one of the plates as a relief, and really like the result of that too.
Once again I am overwhelmed with all the possibilities and feel that the hours in the day are too short! Somebody get me a huge grant so I can make art 24/7! But also huge thanks to Grafikskolan i Stockholm for the workshop grant that is currently allowing me to work in their fantastic space without limitations.
Zine study, drypoint print on cotton fabric.
In my experiments with different printmaking methods on fabric, this may be my favourite so far. I'm very happy with the print and as a bonus, it doesn't need pressing to stay flat - just air drying for an hour or so and it's ready.

How did you do the drypoint process with crayon? It looks great! I want to try it out with my classroom
Thanks, yeah it was really fun and easy! You do it the same as you would with regular ink really - go over your etched lines with a crayon, and then wipe the plate to get rid of the excess colour. Then print on a good paper that's been soaked and patted dry.
We used Caran d'Ache crayons, not sure exactly what type it was but I'd guess they were oil based and water resistant, I'll see if I can find out what it was. We noticed after a while that if the plate wasn't wiped very well and there was a lot of crayon on it, that tended to get the plate stuck on the paper and would sometimes be really hard to peel off without ripping off chunks of paper. The image I posted is actually a bad example because I went back over my wiped plate with more crayon (the blue, yellow and orange) and bits of that did get stuck to the paper so it's a little torn in places.
Good luck, hope it goes well if you try it!
Alright, I figured out that the crayons were Caran d'Ache Neocolour II Aqauarelle. Maybe other types work too but these ones were good!
