• Black Hole Woman – Riso printed zine

  

  My new zine, Black Hole Woman is an illustrated poem I wrote in a passionate and compassionate voice and drew in quick graphite lines. It’s full of emotions (at least for me, and it offers (I hope) solace and consolation.

  It’s also my first riso zine that is fully printed by me! As I got to understand riso better, the first version has been updated into a second version that is richer in detail. Registration has also gotten better!

  Printed in March-April 2026.

  Festival Appearances:

  • Stockholm International Comics Festival (SIS), 16-17 May 2026

• Thinking with colors: I made an academic zine with riso

  Earlier this week I’ve been part of an inspiring and intense comics conference (4-5 May 2026, Malmö, Sweden), where a most friendly and generous international community spent days and nights reflecting on the field. I was a respondent in the MATERIALITY section. As respondent, I could spend time with the smart and passonate position papers by Barbara Chamberlin and Hailey Austin. I felt it only appropriate to prepare a handout… but then my brain started overthinking the innocent idea and turning it into a two-week project. So I responded to the papers by making a zine in the risography studio of Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture (2 weeks, 3 colors).
