      • In Other Wor(l)ds

        by Mikko Metsähonkala

        In Other Wor(l)ds is a book which defies all classification. It’s not exactly a comic, nor is it an art book. It is something in between, aphoristic cartoons perhaps. Accompanied by one or two sentences of the most gnomic kind, architect Mikko Metsähonkala’s illustrations speak volumes. The images in the book are basically single-frame comics - a bit like Gary Larson’s The Far Side. Topics in Metsähonkala’s illustrations range from history and natural sciences to arts, myths, and everyday life. Humour is based on the mundane and sublime, fairy tale and the real world.

        Ruby's Secret

        What if you could move objects by willpower?

        by Vuokko Hurme

        Ruby’s family has a secret: they have wonderful powers of colour. The Hues are able to control the colours of their own possessions, and they can handle them and move them about by willpower. Ruby’s colour is red and her big sister Skye’s is blue, while their little brother Forrest is still looking for his colour and practising hard.   When the Hues, hiding their secret skills, move into the Gertrude Rinne condominium, something changes: Ruby no longer wants to be an eternal outsider. She wants to play in the yard with the other children. So she has to make an impression on her new friends–at all costs.   On top of all this, Ruby’s head is turned by a charming but mischievous girl named Liia. And what is the strange greyness that threatens not just the Hues but everyone else as well?   Ruby’s Secret is the first book of four about the Hues family. Reetta Niemensivu’s expressive line drawing illustrations complete the text with red finishing touches.
