Illustration Sekotidningen nr 4, 2015
Artikeln behandlar en svår och viktig fråga: De timanställdas utsatta situation på arbetsmarknaden och i artikeln framförallt de som jobbar för SJ. En tillvaro som riskerar att stycka upp livet i väntan på besked om hur och när en ska jobba. Det kan också medföra både ekonomiska problem och hälso-problem som stress, sömnproblem osv.
När jag gjorde illustrationen såg jag framför mig den kanske mest vardagliga miljön i de flestas liv, köket. Vidare såg jag framför mig hur tiden styckas upp och hur osäkerheten gör det svårt att dela upp livet mellan arbete och fritid då man som arbetstagare nästan ständigt går och väntar på besked om när eller om man ska få sina timmar. Det kan, som bland annat tas upp i artikeln, leda till att lön uteblir vissa månader och planer som man gjort går i kras som en krossad spegel.

Album cover- MoMoTop
Jag har gjort omslaget till jazztrion MoMoTop's senaste album, Slipen Sessions. En jättefin samling låtar som grabbarna skrev under en veckas digital detox vid Slipstenssjön "Slipen" i Västerbottens inland. Som de skriver i albumtexten: "Tillfälligt befriade från det dagliga informationsflödet och vardagens konstanta brus gavs möjlighet att ostört musicera tillsammans, utan tankar på mening eller mål. Inspirerade av skogspromenader, småkryp, sommarvärme, tranor och tystnad ägnade sig trion åt lekfullt skapande...".
Skivan finns att lyssna på och köpa här.

The Shell

| detail |
"The Shell" illustration for "The Shell" by Syrian author Mustafa Khalifa.
The text has been translated from arabic by Elisabeth Jaquette and it has also been translated into chinese, by Francis Li Zhuoxiong. The bio-text from Asymptote explains in a very fine way who Khalifa is, and what the text is about:
"Mustafa Khalifa (b.1948) is a Syrian author who was imprisoned for more than twelve years by the Syrian regime for his political activities as a member of the leftist opposition to the regime of Hafez al-Assad. From 1982-1994, Khalifa was held without trial at various state security prisons, including the infamous Tadmur Military Prison, a detention center described as a "kingdom of death and madness" by poet Faraj Bayraqdar and the "absolute prison" by dissident Yassin al-Haj Salih. He is the author of The Shell, which has been lauded as one of the finest examples of Arabic prison literature, and which has been translated into French as La Coquille. He currently lives in exile, where he continues to write against the al-Assad regime."

Zugzwang
illustration for the short story "Transglottism" from the book "Zugzwang", by Eduard Màrquez. Translated from Catalan by Lawrence Venuti.
Transglottism was the first illustration I started working on for Asymptote, in november last year. The story takes place in a stuffy library auditorium, where a student and the simultaneous interpreter, in the middle of the boredom starts and amorous affair, through the air and the airphones. It's a resourceful and amusing story and on the site there's also another beautiful short story by Eduard Màrquez, which I recommend you all to read.

Until a Hurricane Sweeps Through
"Until a Hurricane Sweeps Through",
ink and digital
illustration for Until a Hurricane Sweeps Through, by Margarita García Robayo, on Asymptote. Translated by Maureen Shaughnessy.
Here's a excerpt from the story:
"My first flight was to Miami. It was the busiest international route in the city, and also the most sought after: I competed and I won. I wanted to go to Miami because buying things is cheap and the weather is warm and because the men aren't gringos. Young flight attendants don't like gringos because they don't know how to fuck; the older ones do, but they don't fuck anymore.
Have you been to Miami? I asked Julian. He said he had, but I could tell he was lying. Julian was watching TV in my living room, a boxing match was on. My brother was in the shower because they were going to a party. My mom was on the phone with my grandma, some relative's cousin had died. My dad had gone out to pay some traffic fines."

From Taiwan to the World and Back
"From Taiwan to the World and Back" ink, watercolor, digital
Illustration for "From Taiwan to the World and Back" by Fu-chen Lo and Jou-chin Chen, translated by Lee Yew Leong.
Two texts circulating around the "228 Incident", an uprising in Taiwan in 1947. Here's an extract from the second text:
"When the tragic and senseless 228 Incident occurred, I was still very much a child. Trauma was in the air; I knew that something had happened, but I didn't understand what exactly. But an episode about two years later awakened me to it fully. I was fourteen years old, in my second year of junior high, when I had a gun pointed at me by a military officer who then escorted me to a police station, where I was detained overnight..."
