Mikko: He finally got what he wanted – a cello. And now, he’s had it for some time, and got bored with it.

Life: There was time before there was life.

Em&Comm: Counting sheep to fall asleep, anyone?

Love: Cheesy one. When you’re with people you love, you can’t see time go by, but you always know where it went, because you keep the memories o it all

Janne: How does beard grow? …with time…

Kris: With time, he either got worse, or better, so their relationship has not been entirely good, but he’s doing ok now

Jussi: Aikasi On Nyt, their first single off Kultakalat, means “Your Time Is Now”

Hate: With lots of Time, Hate has been known to get worse and consume people.

PK: As he is a ghost, as in not alive anymore, PK is outside the effects of time. And it kinda annoys him to be stuck unchanging.

Jyrki: He doesn’t quite look his age, and well, he’s Elvis.

Jonne: The actual Jonne is looking a lot less like a girl than he used to, so closet!Jonne is blaming time for being “turned” into a boy.

You know, if I keep revisiting comics like that to get links, I might just get nostalgic enough and take it all up again >_>

                          

I don’t know how Kris is doing at the moment, to be honest, but I hope he’s good ^_^

                          

And vice versa.

Tina, this is your irregular dose of Kris

                          

Helloes.
A few many explanations here. First, as you might know – or not – Kris has a new band, The Salvation. They got a record deal with Hype Records, which is Tommi Liimatainen’s label (Jonne and Lil Lii’s brother? yes.). Tommi is also their manager. They (the band and label) have offered the city of Turku many thousand euros to blow up one of the bridges over the Aura river for a videoclip.
My friends and I (I had many suggestions) imagined a lot of stuff about blowing up a bridge and how the boys would love that. This is the result =)

Do you like Kris’s pink army outfit? He really does have the outfit – just not in pink =3
(he’s Sir General Christus, now)

                          

I *DO* have stuff in the works, so, don’t despair!

In the meantime, have a music post

~*~

Apocalyptica are still on tour now somewhere in the world. They have been playing new songs live, and the videos found their way on the net…
Sacra and Beautiful (Youtube, opens in a new window)

~*~

No new from Bloodpit, but Alarik has new projects, The Cloudycators (MySpace and Facebook) and Jalava (MySpace).
Antti and Pietu also have a new project, Ravín And The Deceivers. They have neither a MySpace or a Facebook, but you can try to find online where they might be playing =3

~*~

Negative is still touring, and this Friday they’re at Nosturi in Helsinki. Pinkass and I are going =3 Yes, yes, I promise we’ll behave =3

~*~

This is actually making my night. Speaking of night, Nightwish just posted the answers to the latest Nightmail. Dead gameboy batteries is a good justification for starting to read =)

~*~

Personal recommendation: I got my hands on the new Poets Of The Fall album, Twilight Theater, and I love it. So does Pinkass. Marko recently has a throat infection and they had to postpone a few shows, but hopefully he’ll be back in no time

~*~

Now this will be old news for some of you, but I have to write it anyway
Many months ago, our dear Pinky Sir Christus announced that he quit his band (I don’t actually remember which one it was – SnoWhite?) to work on another project.
And so he did!
A few weeks ago, a new band went public: The Salvation (Facebook, MySpace).
Now don’t get too excited, there’s no music posted yet.
BUT. It looks pretty serious. For one, the other guitarist of the band is none other than Jack Smack from Private Line. For two, they’re already signed to Hype Records. For three, their manager is Tommi Liimatainen himself, who, after seeing Kris’s course to hell during the old Negative days, must have had a damn good reason (other than, he’s a damn good guitarist) to take this up again.
They are set to record this summer, and though many are hoping, no plan for a Tammerfest appearance has been made so far. They do encourage you to contact the festival’s organization though.
To celebrate the new band, Tommi has offered the city of Turku many hundred of thousand euros to blow up one of the bridges over Aurajoki. Though it’s been decided in the past few days that the bridge, currently out of order as the sides have partially sunk, would be replaced, no word has been issued on what would happen to the old one.
How exciting. I went to Turku with a friend around Easter and we took pics of the bridge. We officially crossed a new line: bridge stalking.
Stay tuned.

Finally, Uniklubi have been in the studios for a while now. You can follow their diary on the forum, in Finnish and in English.

                          

No, he’s not a girl.
But who cares anyway.

I don’t know if anyone noticed, but I haven’t drawn Kris and Jonne together ever since Kris left Negative.
It just didn’t feel right.

This year, I made a decision.

Though I’ve claimed it for a long while now, the characters you see in my comics are exactly that – characters. They are inspired by real people (except a few of them), but they now act accordingly to the personality I made them evolve with.

So even if I know that Kris and Jonne haven’t really kept contact, I decided that in my comics, they would resume their friendship and make peace.
That’s my gift to you all who, like me, was very much saddened by the end of that friendship.

Now imagine them running into each other’s arms and hugging tightly.
Cause I can’t draw it. XD

Merry Krismas <3

                          

Ahahahahahaha. XD
I just hope one of you all will have been caught in the innuendos in there.

*pets Kris*

Idea inspired by Karen’s suggestion of ‘wardrobe explosion’ and completed by Tina’s unsuspecting contribution. ;D

                          

I’m almost sure that it’d probably be their reaction XD
Not ours, though, we’d just laugh at it.
Like we’re doing now. XD

                          

He really owns them.

                          

So cute.

I’m extremely tired right now, it’s 11:15 pm, we’re still celebrating Xmas with my bros and sis, and I took time to make this little doodle.
