Disgusting Room Preview

Here is an ample preview of the book I've been working on since January. I finished drawing it two days ago!

It'll be out soon from Sparkplug. I hope to have a preview edition of some sort at the Brooklyn Comics Fest but we'll see what happens.

No particular order to pages...cover up first and then stuff from all over)

Plut is coming

Hopefully this will be out at APE...amazing cover by Emelie and Hanna...I'll have more info soon on how to get one from me.

And (hopefully) on Monday, a big preview of my book, which is a few days away from completion!

Odds and Ends

While I'm still hard at work on my upcoming book (which should come out in December...it'll be called "The Disgusting Room") I just dont currently have access to a big scanner to handle those oversized pages. But here's some other stuff I've been working on.

First: a preview of a comic by me for the upcoming PLUT anthology. The book will include stories by Clara Bessijelle, Emelie Östergren, Hanna Gustavsson, Juliacks and Joakim Ojanen.






Second: a mini comic I made for Mocca called Devotional.



I still have copies! It's $5 plus $2 postage. Send to:

And heres a poem by Gottfried Benn that I think is beautiful

Man and Woman Go Through the Cancer Ward

The man:
Here in this row are wombs that have decayed,
and in this row are breasts that have decayed.
Bed beside stinking bed. Hourly the sisters change.

Come, quietly lift up this coverlet.
Look, this great mass of fat and ugly humors
was precious to a man once, and
meant ecstasy and home.

Come, now look at the scars upon this breast.
Do you feel the rosary of small soft knots?
Feel it, no fear. The flesh yields and is numb.

Here's one who bleeds as though from thirty bodies.
No one has so much blood.

They had to cut
a child from this one, from her cancerous womb.

They let them sleep. All day, all night. -They tell
the newcomers here sleep will make you well. -But Sundays
one rouses them a bit for visitors.-

They take a little nourishment. Their backs
are sore. You see the flies. Sometimes
the sisters wash them. As one washes benches.-

Here the grave rises up about each bed,
And flesh is leveled down the earth. The fire
burns out. And sap prepares to flow. Earth calls.-

Gottfried Benn
translated from the German by Babette Deutsch
