(Hated) Public Art in Malmö
Maybe “hated” is too strong of a word, except for in the case of the Zlatan statue where it feels apt. An italian tourist once asked me where the statue was located and I told him what happened. He looked at me with shock and biked away. On the bus I told the story of…

Horror Anthology
I love making manga, but sometimes it gets a bit lonely if you do everything on your own. When I’m not on parental leave I work in the games industry, which is a colaborative business and I think I’ve been missing the feeling of being a team. When I ran into my friend Niklas Wilcox…

The Tree and the Mind

Bad Apples
I see a lot of pictures of grenade shrapnel in my friends’ Instagram feeds. The attacks are happening out in the streets during night time. A couple of years ago there was a strign of bombins but lately it’s been grenades. I’ve only been close to an explosion once, and I hope to keep it…

Hip hop from Lund, bikeride from Malmö
As usual I like the idea of biking more than actually doing it, but this time I didn’t mind. The trains to Lund were cancelled or late and the buses full, so it was either missing the gig or biking. The venue was in a courtyard in central Lund. I can’t imagine what kind of…

Scene of a shooting
A gang war is being fought in Malmö. There are rumors that some old criminals are asserting themselves in the suburbs, and this has lead to shootings and attacks with hand grenades the last couple of weeks. Many of them are happening around Möllan, the area where we live. There are craters in the pavement…
