Hi, I'm Ukko / Eppu, queer comic artist, graphic designer & illustrator from Finland.
I like writing stories set in history and making it really gay 😎🏳️🌈

This got a bit confusing in places, since I didn't properly script it beforehand. So, I ended up trying to glue it all together in cohesive way. Some topics got more time than others, but every single thing is important. (Also, the limitation of 10 pics held me back a bit).
There is a lot wrong with this country and it should be said without the knee jerk reaction of ‘’Things are worse elsewhere’’, things are still bad here despite that. The current government is making it very hard to see the good things in Finland at the moment. It's pretty clear that it all boils down to money over people mentality. I’ve never understood that, how can a thing that people created hold so much value over human beings?
I wish Finland could be what I thought of it as a kid. A small country that holds its ground and helps those in need. Caring, loving Finland that doesn't see a problem with standing up against genocide. Finland that actually cares about its people. Maybe someday.
I promise that next time I make something like this, I will properly script it. Reading communist manifesto kicked my political brain cells to action lol.
i just wanna say ive been following u for a while and your art has tremendously improved!!! it was always good but it's looking absolutelt brilliant these days
Whenever I play Artemys route in P2 i can only think about that fact that he had no time to grief. And the though of him after the outbreak breaking, and his brother holding him as he does so is- augh....
