Sanctification – Misanthropic Salvation
Been a while since my last post. So what have I been up to? I’m not sure, but I’ll try to remember…
Some time in the middle of April, Piracy is Liberation 006: Violence came from the printer.
More info at the Piracy is Liberation site.
I have to go now. More later…
Sewer Goddess – No Shame
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.
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…
I made a piece of fan art for Kim W Andersson‘s upcoming book, Love Hurts. Go check it out!
I really look forward to this book. Kim is part of a new wave(?) of swedish artists who put a lot of effort into the art aspect of creating comics. I likes it!
Chapter 3 page 19. 29 pages left to draw…
Did you see the cover? It’s up at the Piracy is Liberation site. By Susanne Johansson, as usual.
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.
Latest news about the release party:
Classic noise/experimental band EN HALVKOKT I FOLIE will perform live, along with the previously mentioned CONCRETE THREAT and FEBERDRÖM & NYRODHA.
February 20 at Stapelbädden! Don’t miss it.

This is what I wrote.

Tonight is when we make the selection for C’est Bon Anthology vol. 7. We got a lot of good material to chose from, so it looks promising. The deadline for C’est Bon Anthology vol. 8 will be June 1, so if you’re a comics artist reading this, don’t hesitate to send us your stuff!
Con-Dom – Master Speaks.
And in the Gaza strip, people keep being massacred…
