Doodle post yet again, still because I spend most of my free time finishing the Negative pictures – that I managed to get signed yesterday night See them below

One of my first drawings of Love XD

Waury as a ninja…

Wiwian as a ninja…

Aaaaand the Negative pics

Got no comment from Antti, as he was sick and zoomed into the bus and didn’t come out. But Jonne was nice enough to pass on the pen and drawings, and he drew a scar on the right cheek

Jay hugged me when I gave him his copy after he signed mine

Jonne liked his picture a lot, and as he finished signing it, he asked if he could have a copy – of course, that’s why I print 6 many copies of each drawing And then he asked me to sign it XD

Larry said, “Nice picture” with a grin, but I caught him last and he was heading back to the bus, which was preparing to leave, so didn’t have much time for a longer impression :3

Näkki asked if it was him when I gave him his copy XD No, no, it’s of a random person >_> XD He also asked if I drew it and said it was very nice

I have to thank Melissa for joining me for the evening, waiting with me in the cold and helping me a lot with getting my drawings signed Also thank you to Nadine, Sabine, Kati and Catharina for the great evening

P.S.: The glossy stuff on photo prints… it dissolves with water >.<

                          

I am currently trying to crash-draw pics for Negative to sign when I go see them next Friday, so I haven’t had time to draw a comic for tonight.

However, because my computer is full of random drawings, here’s a few for you

Here’s Teemu wondering how he’ll ever put on this shirt. I mean, the big head…?
(originally part of the No Can Do series)

Those are the first Closet drawing I’ve done of Apocalyptica. Paavo looks retarded/psycho XD

An Edward Scissorhands sketch I have yet to finish….

Emily dreaming of Tony and Tuomas.

And finally this, requested by Forestdream:

A few years ago, Negative was on tour in Germany, and being Finns, they partied much. At some point, Rumors leaked that they’d somehow ended up in a brothel and lost a few thousand euros cash. I imagined Tommi’s reaction (as he’s their manager) and drew this XD

Do note that Tommi’s arms are so long that he could touch below his knees without bending in two XD
(of course I have no idea if any of that happened, because it was Finnish press and it matters little to me if a story is true or not, as long as it’s decent comic material 8D)

Next week I’ll probably be posting other doodles, as well as, hopefully, photos of the signed pictures ;D

                          

In random other news, tonight was the end of Tammerfest. I’ve only been to 3 gigs, but they were all great

Day Eleven were really great. Janne (Octopussy) was jumping everywhere and generally having a good time. Kimmo (Glaring Finn) sported awesome heart-shaped glasses with blinking red lights. It doesn’t get any cooler And they played Montage, which is my favorite song off their latest album, Matador. <3

Poets Of The Fall were amazing. Now I understand why their last 2 gigs in Tampere were sold out. They have great chemistry onstage and it feels like they couldn’t be truly happy doing anything else. Marko (Butterfly Ballerina) seemed to have every single cell of his being animated by the music. It’s quite contagious

Negative were just awesome. As I’ve said before, I love Neon, so seeing them for a third time in less than 5 months was not overdoing it Though seriously, they were overdressed. I mean, erm, it was already hot, no need for those vests and jackets, right? Also, Antti got a nice arm for throwing roses to the crowd :3 Wish we’d have been closer to catch some.

But we weren’t. We had a nice spot higher than the stage (“we” as in my friends and I, including Pinkass), from which we could see the whole thing. I was also surprised when 2 girls waiting beside us asked me if I was the one drawing the comics (so weird to have people recognize me! but nice ) and I drew Rumors for them ^_^ I still don’t know how they actually knew it was me… but hei, if you were those 2 girls, hello You easily made my night

I actually got many more ideas for comics now, so next week should resume the schedule as usual. We’ll take a break from the Wiwian/mic/Theon love drama for a little while and I’m gonna try to draw other characters for a change XD
(also I need to come up with the rest of the drama, though I already know the underlying story. They live in my head, after all.)

That’s about it. Almost 4am now, sleep for me X) Have a nice weekend everyone!!!

                          

Yes I am.
Yes, I am.

I have safely arrived in Finland last Wednesday after a long series of stupid and unfortunate events. I’ll spare you the details, though some of it is so ridiculously unbelievable that it’s laughable.

Here are some more doodles. I’m currently in Sweden for the rest of the week with Pinkass, and will return to Finland on Sunday. The comics will resume as soon as things settle down a little.

Speaking of Pinkass:

I once read an interview with Reflexion, and one of the questions was “What is your worst habit?”. Juha said that it was probably chewing on his hair he was perfect but Juhani (guitar) said Juha chewed on his own hair.

My rendition of Pinkass’s reaction XD
(thanks to aurinkoni for the heads up!)

Here I have to explain. Pinkass and I are very dedicated fans to the Nintendo Legend of Zelda games (she more than I, though I beat her on obsessiveness for some of them, Majora’s Mask among others). What she is holding is actually a Triforce made out of nachos, our favorite food for our girls’ nights (meaning, playing Zelda and eating junk). She’s pink, cause, you know, she’s pink.
And as she’s “Link” (the Zelda character) she’s then… P(l)ink. XD

Commodore can recognize good grooming of a fleece.
Larry can be creeped out by Comm.
Easily. XD

That’s all for now. More soon, hopefully

                          

As some of you might have heard (read) of, I finally got my residence permit to go live in Finland. I bought my plane ticket 2 days ago – and I’m leaving in 17 days now

Finns, beware >8D
No, actually, I rarely get the guts to go up to them, so they’re safe

However, you can imagine, a lot of my time – and even more of my attention – is directed toward me moving overseas. However, good for you! Because, if I don’t really have inspiration for new comics, I have to put my sketchbooks and portfolio in order – meaning, you get doodles

Also, I’ll try to draw something before I leave.

Here goes!

This is why I don’t dance in public

Aw, family <3

This is a funny story.
The dude is Marco, one of my coworkers from an old job I had a few years ago. That one time, Pinkass (who worked at the same place) as doodling on his arm. I wanted to draw as well. So I did.
In that comic, the dialogue would go as follows:
Me: OMG I wanna draw too!
Marco: ?
Pinkass: You do?
Me: I do! And more! And more! More! And and!
Pinkass: …. *doesn’t think there’s enough space for that on his arm*
Marco: ?
*moments later*
Me & Pinkass: *high-five*
Marco: *happy*

That’s it for now. I got more in reserve, so be patient, and I’ll put up some more soon

Take care!!

                          

A bit of history.

“Mona Lisa doesn’t have eyebrows because, in Renaissance Italy, it was considered fashionable to shave them off.”

I saw a pic of Matthau with eyebrows seemingly shaved (again; I’ve been told it’s not the first time he has). New (old) trend?

                          

“Teemu lost his phone and was standing on the table in Amadeus yelling at everyone to shut up so Janne could ring him and see if we could all hear it, was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time, especially as Janne was too pissed to dial the right number.“

Just a little note: Amadeus is a bar in Tampere.

So yeah. Lol.

P.S. He never found it. XD
