Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</i><br />
<br />
I have been drawing and making comics since I was little, but it was in high school that I started getting into comics more seriously and discovered alternative comics. Last year I graduated from the comic art school (<a href="http://www.serieskolan.com/" target="_blank">Serieskolan</a>) in Malmö and my graphic novel for children called “Stora Björn och Lilla Björn” (“Big Bear and Little Bear”) was published by Ordbilder Media. I have also been freelancing, published comic strips and participated in a couple of fanzines and exhibitions.<br />

<i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br />
<br />
I like adult comics, but until learning about Swedish Comic Sin I had never thought about the possibility of making one myself. Then I read the previous anthologies and got inspired to make my own erotic comic and be a part of the project! I want to try out all different kinds of comic genres, and I thought making an erotic one could be a really fun challenge. I also think Swedish Comic Sin is a great concept, and the anthology can be a good introduction if you’re interested in reading erotic comics.<br />
<br />
<i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br />
<br />
I like making comics about people and everyday life so you’d think I’d portrayed sex before, but I haven’t.<br />
<br />
<i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</i><br />
<br />
It was challenging to draw cunnilingus in an angle that actually shows the vulva and drawing two people kissing without it looking like they’re just smashing their faces together. It was also a bit of a challenge to write in English since my comics usually are in Swedish, and to portray two people having sex and being intimate and trying to capture a spontaneous, natural mood - I didn’t want it to seem “scripted”.<br />
<br />
<i>5. What has been the most fun part?</i><br />
<br />
Drawing lips and naked bodies, writing the script, reading the other comics in the anthology, and just getting to be a part of a really great anthology.<br />
<br />

<i><br />6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?</i><br />
<br />
<br />
I have applied for the second year at the comic art school in Malmö and am currently keeping my fingers crossed and living in Karlshamn where I work in the municipality with concept designing and developing information-brochures. I am also an active member of the comic collectives “Dotterbolaget” and “Ritualen”, and those may be good to keep an eye on if you want to see some of my upcoming works!

Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</i><br />
<br />
I
studied comics at Högskolan i Gävle from 2005-2008, since then I’ve
made fanzines and participated in anthologies sporadically.<br />
<br />
<i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br />
<br />
Mostly
because it’s a great deal of fun, but I also think Swedish Comic Sin has come to fill
an important role in showcasing a spectrum view of sex, sexuality and
gender, and it has been a great experience for me to not only produce,
but to learn as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4HZ5yt71IYsCKB9AsHhAqZ5t2crE9yshomOj-cquLJTPCSZASzMXBhgs5HXegJT7FYJ8OQ2lwamCDkDwVJ_0OcZi9hhGHYjlRvujYiyvbw_8Usyxf4rpdvgmAVf5zdQvzfJFM18SAC14/s1600/SaraBerntsson_blogg01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4HZ5yt71IYsCKB9AsHhAqZ5t2crE9yshomOj-cquLJTPCSZASzMXBhgs5HXegJT7FYJ8OQ2lwamCDkDwVJ_0OcZi9hhGHYjlRvujYiyvbw_8Usyxf4rpdvgmAVf5zdQvzfJFM18SAC14/s1600/SaraBerntsson_blogg01.jpg" height="320" width="232" /></a>
<i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br />
<br />
Yup,
I’ve participated in Swedish Comic Sin twice before (#2 and #3) and have also made a
comic for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/freyaandfrey" target="_blank">Freya anthology</a>, which incorporates sex while not being a
erotic comic.<br />
<br />
<i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</i><br />
<br />
With
each comic I’ve made, I’ve noticed that the protective layers of humor
and irony gets more peeled off. I wouldn’t say that my latest comic is
particularly serious or anything, it does contain a bit of humor, but
compared to my earlier works it’s not as much of a joke anymore. It does
make me feel more vulnerable, but I also think my comics are better for
it.<br />
<br />
<i>5. What has been the most fun part?</i><br />
<br />
Deciding to do
something and then actually pulling through. It can feel easy when
deciding the idea to think of something out of your comfort zone, but
when it’s time to draw everything out in detail, suddenly I can feel a
bit shy again. If I wasn’t participating in a project like this I
might’ve bailed out earlier, but knowing we’re all making this anthology
together I’m being held accountable until the comic is done, and I get
great feedback along the way.<br />

<i>6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?</i><br />
<br />
I’m
getting more and more interested in erotic comics, both as a producer
and consumer, and I’ve started applying for other anthology projects
within the erotica genre as well. It seems my tourism of the erotica
genre has lead to me making a permanent stay.NataliaBatistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01559455246744289126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253715596153382237.post-35076817356771301562015-04-15T05:50:00.001-07:002015-04-15T05:50:59.610-07:00Interview with Sandra Bergström<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</i><br />
<br />
I'm
a somewhat shy happy-go-lucky little thing and have been doing comics
since 2010, I think? Been working on a webcomic for about a year now.<br />
<br />
<i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br />
<br />
To see if I could make it, and I did, guess who's proud of herself? <br />
<br />
<i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br />
<br />
Yes! It's fun! Hard but fun. And not so much but still it's there. <br />
<br />
<i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</i><br />
<br />
The deadlines! Oh wow, i had forgot how hard it is with deadlines. <br />

<br /><i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br /><br />I love sex and attraction. <br />And
I enjoy portraying these elements. When the oppourtunity to join SCS5
came up, I felt that I had to participate. Not just for the sake of
getting to portray something erotic - but also becuase the anthology is
about breaking norms and stigmas that usually surround sex and love. I
saw my chance to portray a scenario that hopefully will broaden the mind
of many.<br /><br /><i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br /> </div>

Sex i a big drive in how I telI stories, however it has never been the

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I
have only been doing comics a short while, I did my first comic for a
job-related task only two years ago. Since then I have also done two
comics for private projects. I work full-time as a lead artist for
mobile phone games and also do some illustration work, but comics is a
new field for me.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><br /></i><i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br /><i><br />
</i></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I
love comics and I love sex. I also find gender questions very
interesting, and I found it a very appealing challenge to try to
construct an erotic comic that would not fall into the stereotypical
traps so often plaguing pornography.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">None of my few earlier comics have been erotic, no.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As
often, time management. My ambitious plans to sketch everything out on
paper fell on the wayside and I ended up with a purely digital product
the last few pages. I find that sketching things out on paper makes the
shapes stronger, so next time I will try harder to find the time for
that. </span></span></div>

<br />
<i>1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</i><br />
<br />
Well,
I've been making comics (seriously) for about four years now. But I've
been drawing and writing stories since I was little. So far I've made a
bunch of fanzines and contributed to Swedish Comic Sin 3 and 4.
Currently I'm working on a few different things, one of them is a comic
for children, the others are still a secret.<br />
<br />
<i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br />
<br />
I wanted to contribute to this great anthology project of course! And I had a story in mind that fit right in :)<br />
<br />
<i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br />
<br />
I
had a comic in Swedish Comic Sin 3 last year, I'm a big fan of BL
comics and I'm quite fond of making my own. So, yes, I have.<br />
<br />
<i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>Finding
the time to do it all! I always try to do more than I should and it
ends up taking a lot of time to get it done. But somehow I always manage
to finish everything on time.<br />
<br />

Writing
the story and inking the comic are my favorite parts! I like to imagine
how people would react and what they would say when certain things
happen to them. And... I love using ink! Sometimes I wish I could ink a
drawing before sketching it, but so far that has proven to be quite
difficult...<br />
<br />
<i>6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>I
have a couple of short stories and one longer one that I'll be making
into comics soon. And I'm aming to finish the first chapter for my BL
comic in time for the B.L.Y.G. convention.<br />You can follow my work on my blog, <a href="http://theartinside.blogspot.com/">http://theartinside.blogspot.com </a>.<i></i><br />

In 2011, I was accepted into Serieskolan in Malmö, and migrated to Sweden the same year!<br /><br /><i>2.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Name: Tinet Elmgren</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Story: <span style="font-style: italic;">Her 18th Birthday<br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;">1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</span><br />
<br />
I've been drawing and writing for as long as I can remember. When I was little I wanted to write novels ("<span style="font-style: italic;">real </span>books"), but I always ended up drawing pictures with my stories, too, and feeling frustrated with only text, so at some point I just accepted my fate.<br />
<br />
I've drawn comics in extreme seriousness since I was 15 and began my epic socialist maritime fantasy comic <span style="font-style: italic;">Driftwood</span>. I've published the almost yearly comics zine "Tunguska" since 2000, featuring <span style="font-style: italic;">Driftwood </span>and various short stories. <a href="http://epix.se/katalog/eva-asbesthjartan"><span style="font-style: italic;">Eva ♥ Asbesthjärtan</span></a>, a book collecting my hard boiled action stories about Eva, was published by Epix in 2009.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Her 18th Birthday</span> is a flash-forward from <span style="font-style: italic;">Driftwood</span>. One of the elements in <span style="font-style: italic;">Driftwood </span>is the love story between these two characters. Last summer when I had lyme disease I got this random silly idea for something they would say during their first time together:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTaxqwvKCEO8l4_IT4jLBIgzpEFuJ_5E8AJ4qIBNRR0Q6BtH1YkVEytF-kZwGZZbU8AApK70EoIlspUpLYqob96dRDNXpZ3rjhyphenhyphenaJ1rNqKzmT63ztrd4-t9Z0vu_SxM1VvWxWRLyLxJx2T/s1600/web_17.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728613193546751890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTaxqwvKCEO8l4_IT4jLBIgzpEFuJ_5E8AJ4qIBNRR0Q6BtH1YkVEytF-kZwGZZbU8AApK70EoIlspUpLYqob96dRDNXpZ3rjhyphenhyphenaJ1rNqKzmT63ztrd4-t9Z0vu_SxM1VvWxWRLyLxJx2T/s400/web_17.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 259px; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
<br />
But since I don't include much sex at all in my comics, I sadly assumed that I would never get to use that idea. :(<br />
<br />
Last year I thought a lot about sex in comics and what interesting reasons there might be to actually do a story centered around sex. Sometimes it seems to me that my own experiences of sex aren't quite reflected in the image of sex that you get in most of popular culture.<br />
Some friends encouraged me to draw sex comics that would reflect my own point of view, and then <span style="font-style: italic;">SCS </span>editor Natalia at one point suggested that maybe I could contribute a story to <span style="font-style: italic;">Swedish Comic Sin</span>.<br />
So, after some fermentation in the back of my head there was a complete short story around that idea from last summer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</span><br />
<br />
This is really my first comic that's mainly about sex. The heroine of <span style="font-style: italic;">Eva </span>works as a prostitute, and there are some sex scenes in that book, but the focus there is much more on the action and ultraviolence.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcU-MZyAjR1H7SoBzqBUTL2ixpjevACAeFMuwxd8x70Ubg1la4K2FpcsCBviikO9BQkp0s2kkuMmj9DmD5Qp4C7vchwXmJtc3K9_sIplYaQLkQFN1A61e47-QhxDBWdiNZ__5XwmfSJr0l/s1600/web-rain.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728615615060746514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcU-MZyAjR1H7SoBzqBUTL2ixpjevACAeFMuwxd8x70Ubg1la4K2FpcsCBviikO9BQkp0s2kkuMmj9DmD5Qp4C7vchwXmJtc3K9_sIplYaQLkQFN1A61e47-QhxDBWdiNZ__5XwmfSJr0l/s400/web-rain.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 127px; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</span><br />
<br />
Drawing a toddler.<br />
And I guess it was kind of hard to draw people naked, because I haven't done that too much before. ._.<br />
<br />
Also I think I partly failed in my specific mission to present more beautiful and sensual manliness and beautiful and sensual hairiness. The latter because the characters in this story just aren't that hairy - he is partly Asiatic and she is still young. But I should at least have included some armpit shots. :3<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">5. What has been the most fun part?</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigtvOjNhd4ynh-AlG91BXdue2Abee30SoNCfb1g9c3TgNBaqqRF0_YrF12iRoehT8kJdKPx4VR3FUrxdY6h3Szk_capP-3u1xWg_OBdjCj-jDK_ufjdCvnPC4oJ19Yz1O_oYXNiNLtK0F/s1600/web-masha.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728615907713116114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigtvOjNhd4ynh-AlG91BXdue2Abee30SoNCfb1g9c3TgNBaqqRF0_YrF12iRoehT8kJdKPx4VR3FUrxdY6h3Szk_capP-3u1xWg_OBdjCj-jDK_ufjdCvnPC4oJ19Yz1O_oYXNiNLtK0F/s200/web-masha.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 170px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 200px;" /></a>Masha the doggie.<br />
It's always fun to spend time with these characters, and it's nice to see them happy together.<br />
Also, it was really nice and relaxing to have a strict and orderly submission schedule.<br />
And it was really great to get feedback from my fellow artists and our editor!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?</span><br />
<br />
I've actually finished <span style="font-style: italic;">Driftwood </span>now, after working on it on and off for 16 years. It's going to be published as <a href="http://epix.se/blogg/?p=891">a big fat book in Swedish</a> now at the end of April, and this summer in English.<br />
After that I have plans for a shorter book with a perhaps more realistic, everyday kind of story about people who will be drawn like pigs. Then maybe I will start the longer comic for which <span style="font-style: italic;">Driftwood </span>was only the prequel. :D<br />

Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</i><br /><br />Well, I guess I’ve been active for about three years now. Before that I mostly wrote stories and drew illustrations, it wasn’t until I got in to the comic school Serios in Vingåker that I started drawing comics seriously (now that sounded like a bad pun!).<br />Since then I’ve made and participated in a number of different fanzines and I have a comic published in the online magazine <a href="http://www.babian.se/">babian.se</a> #20. Right now I’m attending the first year at Comic Art School of Malmö where I’m evolving so quickly that I almost can’t keep up! It’s fantastic!<br /><br /><i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br /><br />I just thought it was a really interesting project that would challenge me and give me a chance to work on something with other great artists.<br /><br /><i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br /><br />I have actually! I’ve drawn a couple of Yaoi comics before, but this is the first time I’ve drawn an erotic comic with a heterosexual pairing, which was a lot more challenging than I thought it would be.<br /><br /><i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</i><br /><br />Probably to find all the time I needed to ink and grayscale all of the pages, I was practically chained to my desk for three whole weeks just inking this comic. But it’s fine, since I love to do that.<br /><br /><i>5. What has been the most fun part?</i><div><i><br /></i>To see the comic grow from nothing into the finished piece, and to give and receive comments, tips and such from the other artists.<br /><br /><i>6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?</i><br /><br />Right now I have a couple of different projects going on (most of them are still secret) but I hope to get into the second year here at the Comic School where I intend to work on my next long project, a story about homophobia, friendship and love.<br /><br />Blog: <a href="http://theartinside.blogspot.com/">theartinside.blogspot.com</a><br />Comic Diary Blog: <a href="http://anettesseriedagbok.blogspot.com/">anettesseriedagbok.blogspot.com</a><br />DeviantART: <a href="http://nettan87.deviantart.com/">nettan87.deviantart.com</a><br />Mail: <a href="mailto:nettan87@hotmail.com">nettan87@hotmail.com</a></div>Tinethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442329710467703684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253715596153382237.post-30614745027145891582012-03-21T05:19:00.005-07:002012-04-17T12:54:44.875-07:00Interview with Ainur Elmgren<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc7tPnpDHn137O52-W7N4TW-xGBNR8y83IVV7_BvgpSNPYxuDd24iH83JXC1M5_-ZJh3lWzRq0UiJWBalATjzzi80zJqSWiAqx3X6AsRbXA8tSM_B7WwM_u8GKgGURS8jXLxAavlgmhIQq/s1600/Ainur_Picture40.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc7tPnpDHn137O52-W7N4TW-xGBNR8y83IVV7_BvgpSNPYxuDd24iH83JXC1M5_-ZJh3lWzRq0UiJWBalATjzzi80zJqSWiAqx3X6AsRbXA8tSM_B7WwM_u8GKgGURS8jXLxAavlgmhIQq/s400/Ainur_Picture40.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722324159023527714" border="0" /></a><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc7tPnpDHn137O52-W7N4TW-xGBNR8y83IVV7_BvgpSNPYxuDd24iH83JXC1M5_-ZJh3lWzRq0UiJWBalATjzzi80zJqSWiAqx3X6AsRbXA8tSM_B7WwM_u8GKgGURS8jXLxAavlgmhIQq/s1600/Ainur_Picture40.jpg"></a><div><b>Name: Ainur Elmgren</b></div><div><b>Story: <i>My Comrade in Bed</i></b></div><div><br /></div><div><i>1.

Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to? </i><br /><br />I've loved sketching, drawing and illustrating since I could hold a crayon. I studied at the art program at Södra Latins Gymnasium in Stockholm and graduated in 2010.<br />I hadn't actually made any "real" comics until I applied to the Comic School in Malmö, with a five pages long comic about incest in a fairy tale kind of style (and yes, it looked as schizo as it sounds but at least it got me into comic school). Since then I've taken part in a couple of fanzines and conventions and I want to learn so much more about the industry of comics.<br />My own stuff is mostly humouristic and I'm often inspired by GLBT and feminist issues. I'm also a huge fan of horror and sci-fi.<br /><br /><i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project?</i><br /><br />Well, I think sex is and should be fun so I was thrilled when I noticed a pink little book called "Swedish Comic Sin" at SPX in 2010. It looked intriguing and as I started flipping through the pages I was hooked at once! This anthology was unique, and I had never seen anything quite like it before. At first I simply enjoyed reading it, and later also volume 2, but the same fall as my first term at the Comic School in Malmö Natalia Batista visited one of my classes - she was looking for participants for volume 3. I immediately signed up of course, and that's how I came to be a part of this fun and amazing project.<br /><br /><i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</i><br /><br />I participated in a fanzine called "The Mastrubation fanzine - keep jerking off!" ("Onanifanzinet - runka på!"). My comic was a humoristic thing called "PC Porn Surfing" ("PK Porrsurf), and it was about the difficulty in finding politically correct porn, while still finding it hot enough. I had so much fun making it, but I almost always incorporate sex in my comics anyway, one way or another. I guess the topic is just a great source of inspiration to me, and as we all know - sex sells!<div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm5EkI2SgAgTUcSH4de0cQNVCsZgG7MnlvUglev91gU4hh87Eh0w7AUJTnyTYrqueQ3Ctd-J5H3eib7aBWAx_PTCSOdnlXlWpZXyleOFw1INRGNDHIfpH8uWL8S3dVwdZsPVmQIaMNRxEq/s1600/MalinLindroos07-09.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm5EkI2SgAgTUcSH4de0cQNVCsZgG7MnlvUglev91gU4hh87Eh0w7AUJTnyTYrqueQ3Ctd-J5H3eib7aBWAx_PTCSOdnlXlWpZXyleOFw1INRGNDHIfpH8uWL8S3dVwdZsPVmQIaMNRxEq/s400/MalinLindroos07-09.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5720811207322944322" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 258px; " /></a><br /><br /><i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?</i><br /><br />Probably to make it without any dialogue or text (I had a script though). It wasn't really a conscious decision - after I'd been drawing for a while I suddenly realized that I had no dialogue. It's the complete opposite of what I usually do, so it felt new and exciting for me, but at the same time challenging - I mean how do you portray quiet affection, horniness and being ashamed but kind of happy of being caught masturbating convincingly enough without it being cheesy or clichée? Well, you'll just have to read my comic and tell me how I did.<br /><br /><i>5. What has been the most fun part?</i><br /><br />Researching for reference material! Hahaha! And also working at this whole new level for me, with so many awesome and talented people. I've had fun and I've learned a lot during this project.<br /><br /><i>6. What are you up to now, and where are you heading? Any plans?</i><br /><br />Right now I'm focusing on school, but soon I'll plan to begin making a shorter comic for an anthology about transsexualism. I'm really looking forward to that!<br />Besides that I'm open for any interesting (and hopefully profitable) project that comes my way. I can hardly wait to start on something new and exciting! One day I'd like to maybe illustrate a children's book or make a much longer erotic graphic novel.<br /><br /><a href="http://serieslaven.deviantart.com/">serieslaven.deviantart.com</a><br /><a href="http://serieslaven.blogspot.com/">serieslaven.blogspot.com</a></div>Tinethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442329710467703684noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253715596153382237.post-34810919425106292602012-03-11T05:15:00.006-07:002012-03-30T09:39:04.246-07:00Interview with Linus Larsson<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX4sqerEX8giZL2sO4hCasT4hKiIYMahFYH_UYTjeRnrw3tl-ZZ5_CMTn4A2Bku1h9p0UIgLw0-NRW_SXFjg_NIR4zPOckXR72sWKkw6EzsvpnnjnNNHAP7NAhZrJsC6sr88c1wBbEiWi5/s1600/BlogLinusLarsson.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX4sqerEX8giZL2sO4hCasT4hKiIYMahFYH_UYTjeRnrw3tl-ZZ5_CMTn4A2Bku1h9p0UIgLw0-NRW_SXFjg_NIR4zPOckXR72sWKkw6EzsvpnnjnNNHAP7NAhZrJsC6sr88c1wBbEiWi5/s400/BlogLinusLarsson.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718612437817836834" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Name: Linus Larsson</b></div><div><b>Story: <i>Commune</i></b></div><div><br /></div><i>1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to? </i><br /><br />My name is Linus Larsson, I'm currently 27 years old, and I guess I've been making comics all my conscious life. I studied at Estetiska programmet at Martin Koch-gymnasiet, Hedemora, and then two years at the Serie- och bildberättarprogrammet at Högskolan i Gävle. After graduation, I enjoyed an involuntary vacation for a couple of years before being employed as a graphic designer at a logistics firm. During the larger part of the last decade, I've mostly tried to find out what the hell I want to say, while improving on my craft with a weekly web-comic about fanged "poseur-angst". Never underestimate the importance of routine in creative endeavors.<br /><br /><i>2. Why did you want to participate in this project? </i><br /><br />To be frank, a friend showed me volume 2 at last years comic festival in Stockholm, and I was intrigued. I'm well aware that making erotica, porn or whatever you want to call it, is a brutal challenge. The success of "sexy", at least my view of it, lies in the engagement and involvement<br />of the reader. This is achieved through story-telling, not merely the art itself. And I wanted to take on that challenge. Whether I succeeded or not, I cannot say. I have long since forgotten how to read my entry for SCS, dissecting it back and forth into absurdity. Maybe in a year or so, I can pick it up and read it, and make my own judgment on the matter.<br /><br /><i>3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before? </i><br /><br />No, not as the subject matter itself. Only as a "tool" to shine light on "other" aspects of life and the psyche of humankind as a whole. But then again, one could debate whether or not sexuality infuses everything about everyone all the time. But I'd rather look at it from another direction - everything about everyone infuses their sexuality - or rather everything about everyone affect everything about everyone - all the time. To isolate a part of our being is usually meaningless. So, yeah, um... let me rephrase that - Yes, I've made stories about sex before.<br /><br /><i>4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project? </i><br /><br />To make the comic erotic. Sure, it's an anthology that primarily wants to collect stories about sex, and not necessarily making them all highly arousing. But I tend to dwell heavily on intellectual debate, and I constantly feared I would lose emotional tension.<br /><br /><i>5. What has been the most fun part? </i><br /><br />The exact same things as mentioned above in point 4. I just enjoy experimenting with things I've never done before. Not knowing really were to start, what to do and how to do it triggers my interest. I guess I'm terrified of reducing art to craft, and thus get a twisted pleasure and satisfaction from being tormented with doubt, endless revisions and dissatisfaction of the result.<br /><br /><i>6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans? </i><br /><br />Right now, I've alleviated myself from "creative" endeavors at work, assisting the design department merely with a solid technical base for them to right-side-brain-away upon. It has given me a much more structured weekday, and thus both time and sheer energy to work on<br />different projects back home in the studio. SCS3 is an example of that. I'm fleshing out a couple of comic ideas at the moment, painting with oils (usually at night, when I need to wind down) and trying to ignore and reject all my desires to work with animation again...Tinethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442329710467703684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253715596153382237.post-42857484056932805592012-03-03T00:49:00.006-08:002012-03-03T01:00:04.555-08:00Interview with Sara Berntsson<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglz8Mpn8fVIGsqPn-bFMzr2xQ_9o2Vo1Eiy_xXUk_mk8HBB9r7aGKvfM6s4dLPYHcsISdAGlTIevpiJiCTlv-pzdkE1NyyI6pdUApQmE3dRA62HR2dmLD17hb6vQeKnNIt0ALkL_1rW0F_/s1600/SaraBerntsson_Presentationsbild.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglz8Mpn8fVIGsqPn-bFMzr2xQ_9o2Vo1Eiy_xXUk_mk8HBB9r7aGKvfM6s4dLPYHcsISdAGlTIevpiJiCTlv-pzdkE1NyyI6pdUApQmE3dRA62HR2dmLD17hb6vQeKnNIt0ALkL_1rW0F_/s400/SaraBerntsson_Presentationsbild.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715591772040750082" /></a><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Name: Sara Berntsson</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span">Story: <i>Just Playing</i></span></b><br /><br /><i>1.

I really do love the sex, love and rock 'n roll theme, so I think I'll do something with that.<br />I am also studying to become a teacher and have several different jobs, among others as a croquismodel and as a waitress/hostess/singer at the Blue Boat (Blå Båten) in Malmö.<br /><br /><br />Emi Greneby's DeviantArt gallery:<br />http://oredsson.deviantart.com/<br /></div>NataliaBatistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01559455246744289126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253715596153382237.post-59212237923028327182010-05-07T06:39:00.001-07:002010-05-07T06:39:57.793-07:00Interview with Emi Greneby<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg827dHNUyVSih0hPKBiBAhubhlI3XMfJUYmCtG71ABfkp3I9rNy-ZDyeopfUaKHvdq56UUj1DiOu4R2ULuRi_awOizvhAwY0lhGxz3nA1owqWGyKU4tkIenvNfqYtnoNKRW006ia4hzqY/s1600-h/E_Greneby01.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg827dHNUyVSih0hPKBiBAhubhlI3XMfJUYmCtG71ABfkp3I9rNy-ZDyeopfUaKHvdq56UUj1DiOu4R2ULuRi_awOizvhAwY0lhGxz3nA1owqWGyKU4tkIenvNfqYtnoNKRW006ia4hzqY/s320/E_Greneby01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448994897106436594" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Emi Greneby<br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Participating with the story <span style="font-size:130%;">'Collar'<br /><br /></span></span></span><br />Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</span><br /><br />I think I started sometime back in High School as a way to bring my characters to life. Since then, I've mostly done comics for myself as a hobby, but recently been looking into finally making some profit out of it.</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Recently I also worked on a web-comic, but also realized how time-consuming it can be when important stuff in real life are looming around the corner.</div><div style="margin: 0px;">I also dabbled with animation for a few years, thinking it to be the next evolutionary step of my storytelling. However this is true or not is debatable, but I'm quite sure I'll look into it again at some later point in my career.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-weight: bold;">Why did you want to participate in this project?</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br /></div><div style="margin: 0px;">I find sex to be quite an intriguing subject to work with.

Bystedt<br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Participating with the story <span style="font-size:130%;">'Best Friends Forever'<br /><br /></span></span></span><br />Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?</span><br /><br />I'm a 21 years old swedish comic artist and illustrator. I've been raised amongst the beautiful fields in the southern part of Sweden called Skåne.<br />I've been drawing all my life. Ever since I was in kindergarten, I've been telling people "I want to be an artist when I grow up!" So, well, I guess that still is my dream and desire, and I've been working hard towards reaching that goal. Currently I'm attending my 2nd year at Serieskolan (the Comic Art School) in Malmö, Sweden.<br />I'm experimenting with my art; trying out different work-methods and genres. It's a lot of fun.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why did you want to participate in this project?</span><br /><br />Because, as I mentioned previously, I want to try out new ways of artistic expression and why not do a erotic comic? I hadn't ever done one when I heard about the project, but once I got into it I really pushed myself and stepped outside my comfort-zone, since I've never drawn sex like this before.. And, well, I thought, what the heck! Let's this it properly! No censorship!<br />Also, everyone has some sense of sexuality and therefor pretty much anyone can read a comic about sex and feel something about it, since it concerns them (it's hard to get into a story about soccer if you don't giveadamn). I figured I could maybe reach more readers this way?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrBXmotoS8wHdUK68n9ENQv23-zs8UbKnsCirg3HMY2SSAtboEQI2mwsIe5-6fKByFF2-7SzQlKTtWa4qR1f2SMJ3xIB0LJHXOtaIDmp3Xohuw-3dbVYM_eZzK5t9YULbEgb20cgkkek/s1600-h/F_Bystedt02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrBXmotoS8wHdUK68n9ENQv23-zs8UbKnsCirg3HMY2SSAtboEQI2mwsIe5-6fKByFF2-7SzQlKTtWa4qR1f2SMJ3xIB0LJHXOtaIDmp3Xohuw-3dbVYM_eZzK5t9YULbEgb20cgkkek/s320/F_Bystedt02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446246991968837042" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?</span><br /><br />Nope.<br />But, I did a hentai-doujinshi ("Violent Kiss") a few months ago as a warm-up to the comic in this anthology.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?</span><br /><br />Right now I'm working on getting out there, become a professional comic artist and illustrator. I teach how-to-draw-manga to kids and teenagers and play around with my children's books ideas (and watercolors! yay!).<br />I have a teen-drama comic I'm very passionate about, and starting this summer I will spend about a year working on that. But, well, we never know where the future might lead us. But, then again, how much fun would living be if we always knew what'd come next?<br /><br /><br />Fanny M.
