Featherweight

May 31, 2009

I’ve finished the short story! The title is “Featherweight” and it is being published as a graphic novella by The Swedish Comics Association.

The front cover looks like this:

And the back cover looks like this:

Click here if you want to read the first and the second post about the idea and making of the short story.

I’ll write some more about this soon.

The Arctic Comics Festival

May 31, 2009

The Arctic Comics Festival in Kemi, Finland has been around since 1981. This year I won a prize in the comics competition for a story called “Svisch – en liten släng av vinterdepression” (in English “Swoosh – A Slight Case of Vinter Depression”).

I went to Kemi to receive the prize and met the other awardees, invited guests and festival organizers. I expected it to be cold that far north, but it was actually just as warm as down in Malmö.
