JUNE 2025
Copenhagen Comics festival was held this month, so that took quite a bit of my time. Especially because I was honoured to be in the Ping -comics prize jury. So, this month, I spend a lots of my time reading comics. Can't complain about that!
Otherwise I've been working with a couple of new children's books illustrations as well as continuing to draw mine and Laura Ertimo's book. It's starting to find it's shape, and even though there's still lots of things I need to figure out, I'm having fun drawing the pages.

I finally updated a list of my comics here in my website! I listed my main comics, including a brand new one, a little booklet I did for Asema kustannus. It's called Avaruudessa kuolemisen haasteita (challenges of dying in space) and it's about a bear, an astronaut and death. 56 pages, it will be out this fall for the Helsinki Comics festival.
In children's books news, Prankensteinin morsian (Bride of Prankenstein) has come out in Finnish! It's the second book in the Prankenstein series, written by Kaisa Paasto, illustrated by me. The rights of the first book, Prankenstein, has been already sold to Latvia, Poland and Mexico.
APRIL 2025
I've been busy with couple of new children's book projects (more on them later) and a small comic book I'm hoping to get done for the Helsinki Comics Festivals in September.
I also received two grants! Both from Arts Promotion Centre Finland: One for a web comic about libraries and one to finish the big book project we've been working on with Laura Ertimo. I'm so grateful and happy that I get to focus on doing comics!
I'm dying to start a comics blog again, where I could also share snippets of ongoing projects, I just don't know where to set it up. But it will come eventually!
MARCH 2025
I've been doing some spring cleaning in my website. I'm not that great in updating any social media, let alone a website, so I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible here for now on, though I'll be adding more things bit by bit, like list of my publications and things like that.
In the meantime you can best find me from:
I also have a portfolio at the Finnish Illustration Association's website.
