I'm invited by Oslo Comics Expo to be one of the guests this year! In addition to talking about my latest book I plan to have something to show from my next one. Writing this is a good way to put pressure on myself to do so. This great festival takes place in Oslo the 28th - 29nd of may. Check out their website.

The MoCCa-festival in New York

Bendik Kaltenborn — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:29:20 +0000

As the year before this, I'll travel to the great comic convention in New York in April. Together with Sindre Goksøyr, Flu Hartberg and Kristoffer Kjølberg from Dongery and Espen Holtestaul and Lars Fiske from No Comprendo Press we will show norwegian muscels in the name of comics.

Dongey will have at least one new fanzine out for the festival and No Comprendo has several books out since last year, including my latest book. Hopefully I will make a translation-fanzine to go with my book by the time we leave.

Lars Fiske and I will take part in a dollhouse-exhibition by the swedish Galago guys.
