Review of Piracy005

Still listening to Sanctification, trying to conjure money by writing mundane spells, casting them via the internet.

And while I’m doing that, stumbling upon a review of Piracy is Liberation 005: Free Section in Tidningen Kulturen by Gustaf Andersson.

Att det finns bra och dåliga punklåtar råder det inga tvivel om. De dåliga brukar oftast kännas igen på att de snarare vill vara punklåtar än att de är, att klichéerna stapplas på varandra. De bra däremot känns igen på att de bara är punklåtar, helt skoningslöst. På samma sätt är det med Mattias Elftorps tidskriftsprojekt Piracy is liberation. Den bara är punk. Dystopin är oursäktande. (more…)

Allright, back to work…

Oh, by the way, I updated my website today. Added some Wormgod info and one or more (I can’t keep such things as numbers or memories in my head right now) new images. Go check it out!

WORMGOD: First exhibition!

Work has begun on the first Wormgod exhibition.

From www.wormgod.net:

This, our first exhibition, will be a sequential artwork about about consequences. Two images will tell a story, perhaps many stories, about a crucial event in human history. Something that has affected our generation and our view on life in a very basic way. An event that brought death into the equation in a very profound way, on a scale that is bigger than even specieswide extincion.

konSEKVENS will also be an experiment in linear/non-linear thinking. The images and their stories can be read like comic strips, but it is up to their viewers to read the connection between image elements and arrive at something that is not chronological. Something that is spread out through time: a multitude of events and their consequences.

Big comics day…

Front Line Assembly – Body Count

Big comics day for me tomorrow. Not only am I going to send Piracy is Liberation 006: Violence to the printer, I am also going to do my third 24-hour comic. Last time, it resulted in a graphic novella called Trollet, later published by Komika Förlag. I have no idea what will come out this time, since I’ll try not even to think about it until the 24 hours start.

cEvin Key – Klora

For those who don’t know, the 24 hour comic is a challenge from Scott McCloud, to create a 24 page comic, from start to finish, in no more than 24 hours. It’s a nice way to loosen your mind, get something done fast and a good reminder for deadlines in the future…

Patrick Wolf – Lycanthopy

I may sit down to put some updates up on the blog during the day, as work progresses. Right now, however. It is time to go to sleep.

Nitzer Ebb – Join in the Chant

I don’t remember last time I went to bed this early. I’m not sure I know how to do it. Weird…

Piracy005 release party!

From the CONCRETE THREAT gig at the FREE SECTION release party last Friday:

There’s also a little clip of FEBERDRÖM & NYRODHA, some photos and stuff at the Piracy is Liberation site. If anyone has a video clip of EN HALVKOKT I FOLIE, please let me know and I’ll put it up on the site as well.

Also, the day after that, I went to a Skånes Konstförening/Singsang event to see FRIA KONSTELLATIONEN, SUDDEN INFANT and ÄTTESTUPA. All quite nice, if not as harsh as the Friday thing. It’s interesting. After two nights of this, I feel almost as if I’m in love, but in a music style. It’s Sunday night and I’m still floating on some kind of high. Maybe it helps too that I’m listening to the Treriksröset – Venal tape that I bought yesterday…

Within the nearest weeks I’ll be trying not to do very much other than draw the remaining 40 or so pages of Violence, so I can have it printed and have an excuse for another release party.
