There’s a Kutikuti exhibition opening next week’s Wednesday in Gallery Les Bains-Douches, Alençon, France. Should build it first though. Anyway, I’ll be working on some new stuff here until December. Stay tuned.

Both the English (above) and French (below) editions of The Third Book of Hope will be out beginning of 2012, thanks to Bries and La 5e Couche. Some samples can be seen here.

Ötzi the iceman! Yes, I started a comic strip, thanks to the greenish newspaper Vihreä Lanka. Must be one of the few strips with a dead main character. I can smell success.

This kind of practical Samuel episodes have been appearing in an ecological magazine called Huili here in Finland. It’s also work that will be gathered in the upcoming second book of Samuel. Work title ‘Game Over’. It will take couple of years to finish though. Anyway, Huili comes out bi-monthly.

For Le Dernier Cri’s Mexico book.

For Anthony Alvarado’s upcoming book of DIY magic, previously seen in Arthur Magazine.
