Dinner and a Story, December 29th at FIGO


(Click to see it bigger!)

This will be an evening that stimulates all senses equally. The three course dinner is an integral part of an audio-gustatory-olfactory-sensory-visual performance … And it will all be pleasant, so don’t worry.

We will also present some exciting hand crafts made by my mum, textile artist and book binder, as well as some comic books by myself and my sister. Perfect for those christmas gifts that you forgot to buy, or whatever. V^(oo)^V

We’ll charge 10 € for the full experience, including non-alcoholic drinks. (Alcoholic drinks are extra.)

Seating during the performance is limited, so please email me or click “attending” at the facebook event page! (But you can of course drop by later on to just hang out.)

Förberedelser inför Göteborgs seriefestival :3

Bye bye Berlin ...

Hejdå Berlin!

Kvällen innan mitt flyg till Göteborg kopierade jag upp en jävla massa fanzin i min favoritcopyshop nära Eberswalder Straße (“Vildsvinsskogsgatan” – ursprungligen en väg som ledde till staden Eberswalde norr om Berlin [där jag förstås skulle vilja bo]).

Special Edition: Göteborgs seriefestival

Sen bigade jag och sydde och skar till dem här hemma hos min mamma. Eftersom jag inte orkade släpa med mig min feta häftapparat sydde jag fanzinen istället. Så om du nånsin köper ett fanzin av mig som är sytt med röd och blå tråd vet du att det ursprungligen var specialgjort för Göteborgs seriefestival. :3

"The muggers" zine!

Jag hade egentligen hoppats på att ha Tunguska #10 klar nu, men så ville det sig inte … V`(oo)´V

Dock var jag med på 24-timmarsserien i Berlin förra helgen, och producerade The Muggers — den hafsigaste serien jag nånsin tecknat!! Whee … Det märks att jag ritade de 32 sidorna på bara 17 timmar — bland annat så har sidorna 12 och 13 nästan identisk layout, vilket är extra bra i och med att de är på samma uppslag. Dock är storyn inte alls dålig (den får i alla fall mig att skratta ihjäl mig).

Jag tecknade den på engelska, och hann inte översätta den till svenska, men det kanske inte hindrar folk från att vilja läsa den … :3

Göteborgs seriefestival går av stapeln på torsdag nästa vecka på Blå Stället i Angered (kulturcentrum och gymnasieskola i ett). Det torde komma ett schema med alla workshops, seriebattles, presentationer och paneldiskussioner snart.

Under alla dagar (torsdag-lördag) kommer det definitivt att vara fanzin- och bokmarknad (i matsalen), och där hittar du mig! Jag kommer att sälja mina fanzin och så klart även min bok Eva ♥ Asbesthjärtan.

Dessutom kommer jag att ställa ut en del av kapitel 9 i min serie Drivgods — mer än vad som har publicerats hittills på nätet, och dessutom på svenska. :3

Det känns helt sjukt och jätteroligt att delta i en seriefestival på mitt gamla gymnasium. V^(oo)^V

Hello Mr. Yellow!

Annars hänger jag mest bara med min morsa och hennes katter, och jobbar med mina dayjobs härifrån.

Mr. Yellow waiting for dinner ...

Tinet’s event schedule – winter 2011

12th-13th of November: 24h Comics Marathon Berlin
In a haze of coffee and club mate, we’ll draw our asses off at lashopp in Friedrichshain, from noon to noon!

24th-26th of November: Gothenburg Comics Festival
I will partake in this festival in my favourite part of my favourite Swedish city with a small exhibition, featuring part of the final chapter of Driftwood. That comic is quite significantly influenced by the period when I lived in Hjällbo and went to high school in the same building complex where the festival is held. I’ll also sell some books and zines to the unsuspecting audience.

Late December: Still nameless “dinner performance” at Figo, Berlin
The Elmgren family will unite, with technical and emotional support by Ilan Katin, in a performance that speaks to all the five human senses. (And maybe also the 6th sense!?) We will serve a three course dinner of traditional food from three ethnic minorities of Finland, accompanied by an audiovisual performance in three chapters. Our arts, textile and book binding crafts and comics will be exhibited and for sale. More details to follow!

The Gothenburg Book Fair

The Gothenburg Book Fair is the main event for the publishing industry and its readership in Sweden. I don’t go every year, but this year I was invited to talk and perform.

Lenin comes every year, to promote a very special hotel in Varberg, which is full of books and Soviet memorabilia (including an exact replica of the interior of a bath house in Petersburg that Lenin liked to frequent).

Tinet’s festival schedule fall 2011

24th-25th of September: Gothenburg Book Fair
On Saturday, the 24th, at 17.00-17.45 I shall partake in a comics battle!
On Sunday, the 25th, at 13.00-13.45, I will discuss comics and the Swedish child pornography laws together with Magnus Knutsson, Maria Abrahamsson and Fredrik Strömberg.
And right after that, on Sunday at 14.00-14.45, I will talk about self-published comics with Stef Gaines and several other Swedish self-published comics people.
All of the events will happen at the comics scene, Seriescenen, located at A02:39!

1st-23rd of October: Fanzines! Festival, Paris
I won’t be there personally, but among the hundreds of zines from all over the world in the exhibition are all the comics zines I’ve ever made! All the zines will remain in the collection of the Marguerite Duras public library after the festival, which will make it one of the coolest libraries ever.

24th-26th of November: Gothenburg Comics Festival
I will partake in this festival in my favourite part of my favourite Swedish city with a small exhibition, featuring part of the final chapter of Driftwood. That comic is quite significantly influenced by the period when I lived in Hjällbo and went to high school in the same building complex where the festival is held. I’ll also sell some books and zines to the unsuspecting audience. (It would be cool if I could have the final issue of my zine Tunguska ready by then, but knowing me and my work ethics I won’t promise anything yet …)
