Not a day without a line
My girlfriend, Karoliina, is now blogging about her everyday tribulations, which within the next few days will include me, as she relocates from northern Finland to spend the summer in Malmö.
Go, read! She’s an excellent writer, and cute as hell, too!

I’ve been thinking about getting the hell off Facebook for awhile, but something always comes up. That’s the thing with Facebook, there’s always another friend to add, or another app to block. Could we all just please poke each other every once in a while and keep it at that?

I mentioned some time back that I had been laid off from work (as a keyboard chimp and graphics go-to guy at Danish comics publisher Faraos Cigarer).
Although I’ve never been bothered much by reality or rationality, I did realise the arrested cashflow might become a problem… Fortunately, I hooked up for lunch with an old acquaintance from the Copenhagen comics scene.
Thomas Schroeder was one of the people who started the CPH festival Komiks.dk, he’s a longtime writer and editor for the Egmont corporation’s Disney line – and he just so happened to be out of a job at the same time.
We discussed the possibility of starting our own publishing company for a couple of weeks, realised that we could base a steady income on our own output (him writing, me drawing and laying out seemed natural), and maybe run a few con amore-sideshows for fun as well.
And here we are: Forlaget Afart, teaching kids to read Danish. I didn’t see that one coming a year ago! Oh, and when you’re done snickering at the name, ‘afart’ means ‘variant’ in Danish

I’m assuming that, if you’re new to this site, you have come here on advice from David B. Metcalfe, Eric Orchard, or Derik Badman. These three gentlemen have been more than generous in their recent statements about my work, and I am grateful to them.
Since you have been thusly misled into believing I produce any work of artistic merit, I urge you to take a peek through the categories “Comics” and “Sketch of the day” (the menu to the right of this post. That should set the record straight.
If you’re still not convinced of my hackery after that, surf on to the workblog of my current project, Astoria and judge for yourself.
I am very sorry about the inconvenience!

I found to my pleasure that blogging again after an embarrassing hiatus doesn’t hurt at all! So I’ll treat you to a link about an exhibition I’m part of in the near future: C’est Bon Panorama II
That’s it. That didn’t hurt either. I should do this more
I now work at Malmö’s pittoresque Seriecenter, along with my buddies from C’est Bon Kultur, and will be posting frequently about our new anthology issues!
On a bummer note, I lost my steady paying gig with publisher Faraos Cigarer, but will continue to work with them on a freelance basis.
There will also be a few new comic projects announced here in the near future, so stay tuned!

Here’s the deal: I’m tweeting like crazy (as @haverholm) but more than 3,000 tweets down the line, that’s not enough anymore.
I want an audience to reflect my razor (t)wit. That’s why, in celebration of my upcoming 3,333rd tweet, I’m launching a quick contest.
The rules are simple:
1. The 9 tweeps to get me most followers by the time I post my tweet no. 3,333 win the nine prizes (see below)
2. New followers must tweet me your Twitter @-name as a vote for you — as in “hey @haverholm, I’m a new follower. @astoriaalbum sent me”
The prizes, however, are the cream of the crop:
For the person who have gotten me most new followers (and have instructed them to vote correctly), the Grand Prize is one signed color original!
Second Prizes, for the three tweeps to have earned me slightly less followers: One signed and inked b/w original each!
The following five runners-up win each their own customized, signed print!
Tell you what, if this gets me above 500, I’ll throw in a signed copy of my Resistansen book with each prize!
Prizes will be mailed flat at lowest available cost. All handmade by me, sorry.
Now, I am currently some 40 tweets away from the 3,333 mark, which under normal circumstances should give you a day or two to compete… Go!
