Where are you from?
I was born in a small industrial town in southern Sweden, grew up in various places in Sweden, Germany and Finland, and now I live in Berlin.
What are you bringing to this year’s zinefest?
Several comics zines in English and German, among them …
- “Eva” (D), “Briefträgerblues” (D) and “Asbestos Hearts” (EN), feminist action thrillers and rape-revenge stories about a woman who works as a prostitute and kicks ass.
- “White Nights” (EN), a slightly gore-y story about a wizard’s apprentice/slave in the dull Finnish countryside in the 1970’s.
- “Hourly Comics Day 2012” (EN) – as the title hints, a comic in which I chronicled one day of my life as it unfolded. I drew myself as a piggy.
What are your influences?
“Akira” and Tove Jansson. Hong Kong cinema.
Why zines?
I like the workers to control the modes of production.
What are your expectations of the zinefest?
That people will hate me because they think I draw MENGÄ.
