Here’s some quite fresh (3 from last month, one a bit older) illustrations for finnish Anna-magazine.
Big one is about remorse, first small is about financial crisis (this lady doesn’t care so much yet), and two last ones are for a series of stories about crisis at home.
I’ll be in Zürich next week (october 15.-18.). There’s Illustrative 08 and our agency has an exhibition there. We have a theme, chockolade, and everybody created one 40cmx40cm piece for this show.
My picture (above) has a Moster rising from Choko Lake on Big Rock Candy Mountain with sweet little natives running scared.
There’s a competition in Illustrative and two girls from our agency have been selected to compete in animation cathegory: Jenni Rope and Ami Lindholm (from Tuhru collective). They’ll win.
I won an honorable mention in Mikkeli Illustration Triennale (in finnish: Mikkelin kuvitustriennale) this year. Before this time triennale has been a competition for already published illustrations. Now they gave a poem, Konerakkaus (=Machine Love) to illustrate and had a theme, combination of word and picture.
I decided to do something different from what i have done before and created a fake page of an old library book with poem printed and hand written comments of different readers. Readers (woman who’s husbend has left her, boring engineer and a school boy who had to read poem for school assignment) have commented the poem from their own experiences of life.
