This week threw me for a loop. I only managed to get one of two comics out after SPX lag and some other things happening. Come back on Tuesday for the continuation of Kat’s story. By then everything will be back to normal on my end!

I had a FANTASTIC weekend at SIS this year. It was by far my most successful festival to date and it was SO much fun (albeit exhausting).
I took almost no pictures at all. I was just so busy and not really thinking about it. I got one of my setup which you see up there. A bit washed out from the light. This time I decided to have all my prints laid out on the table instead of in a book, because people, especially in Stockholm, are less likely to hang out and flip through a book. They need something to catch their eye right away.
I had a very nice view behind me of Sergerlstorg and the fountain (with no water in it!) but I wasn’t really there to look out the window, obviously.
I had lots of return readers to catch up on their book collection which is always a lot of fun. And several new ones who just likes the style and humor and decided to grab a book to take home. I also met a lot of people I only ever have contact with on twitter which is always such a blast, and a lot of artists who I met at previous years but don’t get to see until this festival every year.
Thanks for the picture, Pierre!
On Saturday I got a few requests for cartoon portrait sketchcards which pretty much kept me drawing ALL day. These are always a bit nervewracking but I think everyone was pleased with their respective cards.

A bunch of my SIS exclusive Swedish books were also snatched up and some other sketchcards and prints.
By Sunday I was already beat so I was thrilled when my friend came by with some of the best ice cream in town for the extra energy!
I came home with a much lighter stock than I expected! But everything, including the leftover Swedish booklets, will be up for sale on my Etsy store as soon as I’m able to get it up there. Stay turned for that.
Thanks to everyone who came by! Friends, readers, fellow artists. ALL OF YOU! You made it the best festival I’ve had!
It’s that time of year again! Time for the best event of the year in Stockholm! And here’s how you can come see me!

What will you be selling?
First of all, I will have a very limited amount of these little books featuring around 40 “Imy” strips all in Swedish!
And of course I will have all the “Imy” volumes…
And on top of that I will have various prints and original art of my work, including sketch cards. Some of it “Imy” related, some of it just random.
Cost?
Admission to the festival is FREE. And at my table I will be taking cash (sorry, no cards). But I will also accept Swift payments!
I hope you can come by and say hi and maybe pick up some stuff! It’s going to be so much fun!

For everyone looking forward to the Game of Thrones Season premier this weekend! 🙂
Imy told me she has been feeling stressed and had run off to a beach somewhere. She took Cherry and Kat with her. As a result, the comic will return on April 4th. She can be SUCH a diva.
