UNI the nightmare poster

UNI is a project me and my friends started last year. It's a comic and illustration anthology from various artists. The first journal featured six Finnish artists (including my work) with their interpretation of the theme "dreams". That is where the name of the journal comes from, since in Finnish uni means dream or sleep.

Since the first journal was pretty successful, we decided to make it a continuous project. The new tome will revolve around nightmares and we have ten wonderful artists from various countries contributing in it. The journal will come out september 8th this year at Helsinki Comics Festival

This illustration served as an alternative cover for the journal but will be featured as a poster. It was an awesome piece to make. I really haven't made detailed watercolor works before so it was somewhat a challenge on top of that it was supposed to be made in a couple of days. I used watercolor, acrylic paint and watercolor pencils on A3 watercolor paper. 

MIWA-teddies

These little ones were created to get rid of all the excessive fabric that was left over after my projects. I was getting annoyed by the amount of great fabric going to the trash. The pieces were too little to make anything out of them, yet still too big to throw away. I thought it was a waste to throw the fabric out so I came up with these guys.

I decided to call them "MIWA"- teddies. "MIWA" is an abbreviation of minimal waste as almost all the fabric goes to use. The bears are all different because of the limited amount of fabric and because they all look different, I decided to give a name to each one of them. Each of them also has a little scarf made out of leftover yarn to keep them warm  in the winter.
