Samples in English
Here's our new Kutikuti contemporary comics collective anthology Vyöry, it's out in Finland (in Finnish, Zum Teufel), Belgium (in French, La 5 e Couche) and the US (in English, Living the Line).
There was an interesting collective editing process where we could comment each other's works and have some common themes. There are some nature themes such as birds and the forest, and I made a little documentary comic about the forest activists in Stansvik, Helsinki. The city is cutting down some rare old forest with endangered species. More in the blog.
