4 out of 12 illustrations for the 2026 calendar have been finished so far. Enjoy the work-in-progress photos! :) January 2026 February 2026 - This is my favorite of all the illustrations so far, let's see if it will stay that way. ;) March 2026 - This illustration was "supposed to" be quite different according to my original plan, but as I started ...

Can I fit all the work-in-progress material of the 2025 calendar into one post? Well I'm about to give it a try and see if my blog can handle it. :D So, the theme of the 2025 calendar was seals. Thus, you're about to find progress pictures of 12 seal illustrations below. The process of creating all of them was the usual one; First I make a pencil s...

Phew! Last post of 2024 calendar illustrations when 2026 calendar illustrations are already on their way! Let's see if I can get all the seal illustrations here before finishing with the new fox illustrations (that's right, 2026 calendar theme is foxes!).  I must say, as this is my 2nd blog post of 2025 and we aren't even done with Januar...

 Only two weeks into 2025 and we already have a blog post?? This is very promising! It's been a while since I made a comic diary update so in case you want to refresh your memory by going through some of the previous updates, here you can find them all!

Creating my second official blog post of 2024 has kindly reminded me of how much time and effort it actually takes to make these posts, and considering I've probably had the busiest year of my life so far, I think it's fair to say even a couple of blog posts is a job well done. So! Before we move to 2025 calendar illustrations (which...

The 2024 calendar season is pretty much over and soon it's time for me to start working on the illustrations for the next calendar! But before we get there, I want to share all the work-in-progress material I collected of the 2024 illustrations. The 2024 calendar had a variety of detailed illustrations of squirrels, bunnies and ...

Having finished this comic diary update months ago, I think it's about time I finally uploaded it, eh?  Just one disclaimer before we dive into the diary; If you follow me on social media, you might've come across the news of me moving to Helsinki. Now, this comic diary update is not referring to my Helsinki apartment, but the apartment I'm st...

A quick comic diary update before I run to Sweden and Närcon! In case you wonder why I haven't been posting anything on my blog for a long time, that was because the blog refused to work and now after A LOT of maintenance (according to the website admin), it should be fixed. Surely, this blog post is a solid proof that it is so. Enjoy the...

Finally! The last illustration of my 2023 calendar!  I'm so happy about how this one turned out! I think you hear that a lot from me, but isn't that just a good thing? ;)  When I look outside around Christmas, it's the darkest time of the year (at least here in Finnish Lapland). But when I look inside, Christmas brings so m...
