Narcosis the Cat comic strips #54 (2010) and #86 (2010-17). Inspired by the modern day digital printing errors of various kind, 1980s computer games with their low-resolution pixel style, and classic comic strip rasters.
Here’s my newest song – an electric guitar ballad: “The Lynx at My Home” (2016).
This song is dedicated to my cat and all the cats I have loved in my life.
The track will be in the upcoming album Tree of Love – and Other Ballads from the Darkened Sun. Featuring f.ex. acoustic/electric guitar and piano ballads, celt and medieval inspired songs.
Here are the lyrics:

Pen drawing 21x 29 cm and a computer colorized version. Egypt, the Sphinx and pyramids have always inspired me. Notice the owl on top of the Sphinx and the All-Seeing Eye.

Etching 16×18 cm. The graphic series has 8 prints and they are differently colored.
Color on paper, 38×46 cm. Inspired by the stone lion statues in the castle of Mustio near Lohja, Finland.
“Narcosis the Cat is 5 billion years old. She is already very old and tired…”
“Yet Narcosis the Cat always reincarnates again!”
A spoof on Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) which is my all-time favorite film in addition to f.ex. Tarkovsky‘s Stalker (1979). I love the scene in 2001 with the light white room and the stargate preceding it. It really feels like entering a whole new another world and universe.
