”What do you want to learn?”

Julkaistu , kirjoittanut

I met with my professor about my Master’s Thesis and he wasn’t that impressed by my proceedings so far. After I had presented my idea, the professor asked me *very seriously*: ”What do you expect to LEARN in this project?” and unfortunately I didn’t have a good answer to that. Obviously, I felt like a meaningless piece of dung afterwards.

Even though the world was collapsing around me (due to some presidential elections somewhere) that one question haunted me like no other. In my mental state of disappointment and meaninglessness, the only answer I could think of was: ”I want to learn how to make GIFs to better describe this sorry state of mind!”

Said and done. There you go!

Sorry folks, today I don’t feel like translating. In short, the thing is that I should start my diploma, but I’d like to draw comics, but the comics I’m working on don’t meet (my? my comic teacher’s? general?) standards. Everything is un-satisfying. Bah!

Well, back to the drawing board, then 😀

The comic was drawn on the covers of my university’s student magazine, by the way, hence the COLOURS 😛 I also used the weirdest pencils I had (well, ballpoint pen…).

// This is for you, miss. Welcome again whenever you wish! Yes, actually I’ll be returning to my home country soon… / What!? When? Next wednesday… / Leave me your adress, I’ll send your bread there. / I’ll be missing you so much! Thank you thank you thank you and good bye! / To my vendor of bread whose name I never got to know. //

I came back to Finland already in the beginning of August and of course it would have been more elegant to post these comics then, but that would have broken the chronology and my autism would have hurt…

So that’s all about my adventures in France, folks! Life as ordinary will fill these pages again, hopefully sooner than later. I’ll do my best…

Why I love horses

// (Finnish children’s song that translates more or less like:) Hear the quiet sounds of the fairies / as they dance / throught the night / singing — /… / Did you fall asleep there? Oh, horse! //

My ultimate favourite moment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is when Gandalf whistles on a moor and the most beautiful horse in the world comes galloping to him. This comic is about as close as I’ve ever come to that moment in real life. I recommend going to the pasture and singing to horses everytime when possible!

// … / *death* / Hey Ina, are all the Finns as sensitive to alcohol as you are?
/ It’s the lack of sleep!! / I didn’t even drink a drop… //

I noticed that I do a lot of comics where I reconstruct a situation or conversation, and actually I don’t know if they are funny or not… This is one of them.

// Today you’ll bring the horses from the pasture to the stables. Theres no space for saddles in the car, so you’ll have to do without. Have you ever held another horse in a leach while riding? Well, no… / Well, it will make a good excercise. / –Riiight… //
