Fucking Clowns – small, anguished and compassionate stories

In 2019, I spent a few weeks in my hometown, Turku, and visited my brother’s grave.
There I drew a piece of art called Fucking Clowns, and it grew into a series of small, anguished and compassionate stories, with first an image, and then a story that the image created in my mind.
The pictures and the stories can be cruel, but at the same time I feel compassion for the characters in the stories and really, as a whole, that’s what this is about.
Compassion for people.

I would publish the series in Finnish in 2019.
Now I publish the same stories in English, but the images are new, AI-generated versions of my original work.

This is where it starts.
And original story

There was no work for the fucking clowns at the New Happy Theatre.
