Interview with Therese Malmgren

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've been creating stories my entire life, but it wasn't until 2013 that I started creating comics.
Before then I mostly did illustrations and did CG paintings, and I still do at times.
However being a comicartist is my purpose in life. I love it.

2. Why did you want to participate in this project?

I love sex and attraction.
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.

3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?
 

Sex i a big drive in how I telI stories, however it has never been the focus or puepose of the story itself. This was a first timer for me. And it ws so much fun!
I have drawn...a ton.. of smut in my days.
I salute you hardcore yaoi for opening that door to me!

4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?

To "find" the characters I think. I have written about these characters for many years now, but this is the first time that I've gotten to portray them like this. I know their story, and what they think. Now how do I get the reader to see that as well? I've gotten alot of great feedback during the making of my contribution to this anthology so I feel really good about the result. 

5. What has been the most fun part? 

 

Discovering new ways to portray arrousal. And oh gosh.. the climaxing. I tapped into visions of the past and got to make few dreams come true.

6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?

I'm working day and night with my project Wicked Hero.
It will available as a webcomic, and if you're going to SIS15 I will also have fanzines with characters from teh same universe... next to the beautiful anthology SCS5 *Wink*.
