Where was the bear born? Where delivered? By the moon, next to the sun Among the stars of the plough Sent to Earth in a golden cradle With silvery chains. Poorling is a little bear. She's a bit different from her brothers. Mother keeps their family safe. For the Forest is full of dangers. It is there that Mana lives, with her Shadow children. And above them all, Emuu, the great Grandma in the Sky. From the heart of Finnish folklore comes a breathtaking tale of mothers, daughters, stars and legends, and the old gods and the new.

A couple of images from my forever-project OKSI. Yes, I’m still working with it. But the end is near, the book will be ready 2018 and I’m pretty sure about that.

Sanni & Joonas, a children's comic written by Kalle Hakkola and drawn by me will be running in the Finnish paper Ilta-Sanomat for the month of August. I loved drawing the strips, but I hate coloring! It takes forever for me to decide on what colors to use. Thank god for deadlines, otherwise I wouldn’t get anything done. More information about the strips from here (in Finnish): Interview of Kalle Hakkola, tiedote

A page from Sanni & Joonas – Hugo serkku. The book is written by Kalle Hakkola and drawn by me. The first book is published in Finnish and in Swedish, and the French edition is coming soon too. I’ll post more info about the new book when the book is in print (which will be soon!)
