I have new works but they’re for school and kinda shit.
It’s finally out! The 2nd and last album of Äiti Heresia was a long time coming. Their lead commissioned me to make this about a year ago and I’ve been anxiously waiting to post it ever since.
I’m working on stuff but nothing is even close to being finished.
anyway it’ll be shaped weirdly so I’m not sure if my further works can all be scanned like at all so it may mean the death of thhis blog lol
Happy Valentine's day!
happy valentine's day too
Got this back from my professor and realized I hadn’t posted about it even tho the course ended months ago so I could’ve.
Rakastanko yleisöä (in a short summary) is about my relationship to ‘’the audience’’. It’s the precursor to my fleshed out Harsh-Squgglyism manifesto I may post one day if I can give it some visual elements.
Finally scanned these, not sure if people prefer the phone camera versions to these since those are a bit closer to what they look like in person. Also found out during scanning that I had already given Ammu kryptomies another name before finishing it and I thought it fits so well that I decided to make both of the names official.

How do you feel about Charles Bukowski bc you remind me of him
Hard to say, haven't read his stuff, only seen a couple of quotes. The only thing I know for sure is that people who write that much pseudo-autobiographical stuff are usually twats.

Ikune mättö, 2022
Parts 2 and 3 of an ongoing 4 part series of works I’m doing with basically identical composition for a course on personal artistic process.
I felt like I needed to post something on main even tho I have nothing on scanned and decided to test out my new desk lamp and I think these photos are decent altho they do cause weird distortions in the colors and textures + the shine on Ikune Mättö is horrible, but I guess this is a lot closer to how they look in reality since I found out a few months ago that some people on instagram don’t know I draw analogue.
Haamuna kodissasi, 2021
’’Asuin täällä ennen. Nyt otan kaukaisia kuvia maailmastasi. Näen sinut missä et näe minua. Kuvajaiseni ja hajuni lymyävät nurkissa, mutta muotoni on vain läpikulkumatkalla. Täytät nyt kotiini jättämäni aukon, mutta minua ei haittaa. Näen silti menneeseen, vaikkakin kaukaa ja vääristyneesti. Se riittää minulle.’’
‘’I lived here before. Now I’m taking pictures of your world from far away. I see you where you don’t see me. My projection and smell lurk in the corners, but my shape is just passing through. Now you fill the hole I left in my home, but I don’t mind. I still see into the past, though from afar and all distorted. That’s enough for me.’’
2021
Pictures I took from my parents house that got grainy as shit due to the weird and very pink light conditions I used to live in, which turned out to be great for the theme of pictures from afar. Kinda made me think of photos from space or some shitty paranormal hoax stuff. The text is uncharacteristically written in book finnish because it was for school. My better, more recent stuff is coming when I somehow scan it.
Löyvetyt elämänmuovot 2021
This was a mixed technique installation piece I did for university. It’s about the weird shit philosophical concept/meme of the oil plastic chicken nugget molds shaped like dinosaurs.

Thank you @oldlorren for the best work trade I’ve ever done, we’ll be watching these in the unofficial art education movie club once that gets rolling.
Do you have a website where you post art available for sale? I saw you mentioned an Instagram a few posts back and not sure if it's public or personal only?
My instagram is public, I'm not gonna really advertise it here, but dm me there, this and my instagram are my websites tbh and my prices are under the highlight bubble named myyntikatalogi.
I'll be attending my university´s physical sales event later this month so a lot of stock may end up disappearing from there so make your reservation now or some other shit idfk I can't do a sales pitch.
Have had recent thoughts about art and context (mainly due to uni stuff , talking to classmates etc. about course themes). I know my works are vague, but that sometimes sort of pisses me off since my works are often just relegated to cool picture status even when they have deeper stuff in there. Is anyone in favor of like little flavor texts or something/possible explanation behind maybe like a keep reading or some shit?

Why? So you have more teeth to chew on smörrebröd with you fuck?
Shit ass photography stuff of my old work and some ???

Finally got this motherfucker scanned. (sold)
Took some more photos of sketches with the fucked up settings to get some moody (and extremely amateurly handled) photos. Even tho it’s unrefined and sort of looks like ass I think the lack of light adds something to them that wouldn’t be there if they were scanned.
Same can’t be said for my newest work tho, which doesn’t look like complete shit when photographed like this, but certainly would benefit from either someone with photography skills or like yk. a fucking scanner taking the picture.
(Kujan Puolella 2021 btw, I will post it in my standard format once I get the scans)
Almost forgot I also tried photographing a sketch up close indoors and I kinda like the effect.
I tried scanning shit today but the technology is too complex, they got like scanners from 3021 at campus. Anyway here are some pictures of geese I took with the camera they’re lending me.

Should I scan some sketches or old works in tandem so the trip makes any sense? I don’t want to go to my old workplace just to scan one work.
Finally got some work done. Bad thing is the closest public scanner isn’t free nor open at this hour, also at my former civilian service place which is an added dimension of umm do I even give a shit about wanting to show people my newest pieces dilemma.
