Not a day without a line
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!

Mix Tape, and the currently avaliable Astoria singles Black Sabbath (intro) and Resistansen, are reviewed over on Derik A. Badman’s terrific Madinkbeard site!
A keen observer, Derik notes: “Like the songs on a well-crafted mix tape, the images have their own separate identity, yet, by placing in juxtaposition, the reader (listener) attributes some meaning to the choices and ordering.”

Work on Astoria singles progressing at a steady pace, even though I have dropped everything else to prepare singles in time for MoCCA Art Fest June 6th-7th.
Scaling down from 12″ to 7″ square pagesize freshens up the work, as does the tight schedule. It’s both exciting and counter-productive to work against the clock like this but I often find it a great way of getting stuff out.

Mix Tape has recently been reviewed on Portuguese comics site Chili com carne. The article is witten by Marcos F., who I chatted up on the last night of SPX Stockholm.
I’ll post a translation of the text when I’m on the laptop again

Upon first reading, I am somewhat underwhelmed, even if the artist and author are visibly having a ball with the contrafact, pre-war period piece.

Mix Tape, side A
Remember when everybody pirated intellectual property? Sure you do! Who hasn’t owned a battered old tape copy of this CD or that vinyl? Or a lovingly crafted, unique mix tape of favorite songs, given to a best friend or special someone?
Working hard, connecting dots to make this happen: If all goes well I should have a concept mini-sketchbook ready by tomorrow’s SPX in Stockholm, a graphic mix tape from me to you!
