Comic & Cartoon Art Annual

perkerosI've been granted the honor to participate in the Society of Illustrator's Comic and Cartoon Art Annual Exhibition this July. The list of participants is quite overwhelming, so naturally I'm very humbled by this. If you happen to be in the neighborhood around the 7th–25th of July, pop by the exhibit!

In other news, the new Villimpi Pohjola book is almost ready for print. More about this soon! Hope you're enjoying your summer, everyone.

The Goonies 30th Anniversary Tribute Art Show

goonies_jp_flatJust as a quick update, Gallery Nucleus is throwing an official Goonies 30th Anniversary Tribute Art Show, and I'm super honored to be amongst the artists. The exhibit opens tomorrow (Saturday the 23rd) and will be open till the 7th of June, 2015. If you're in the neighborhood, please check it out! A huge thanks to Seb Mesnard for inviting me to tag along. So here's my piece, entitled Welcome aboard the Inferno, featuring the old Captain himself. Hope you enjoy the exhibition (wish I could be there!). Anyhow, catch you later.

Tusen tack, Seriefestivalen!

seriefestivalen2I'm a little late for the game but I've simply been swamped after getting back from Sweden. The Stockholm International Comic Festival was a blast, and I must thank all the staff, fellow artists, exhibitors, volunteers and, of course, the attendees for making the weekend as fun as it was. I still feel very humbled to have been invited, and can't thank the organizers and my Swedish publisher Cobolt enough.

seriefestivalen I was also really taken to see Perkeros get a warm welcome in Sweden, and I'm looking forward to coming back for the Göteborg Book Fair. You'll find more of these beautiful photos from the festivals on Serieteket's Facebook page (© Makan E-Rahmati) and a small news insert on SVT.
