Roope Eronen
Issue 64
October 22nd to November 4th
Showpaper is pleased to present the third and final pick by Jan Anderzén; Roope Eronen. Eronen's Halloween appropriate piece shows zombies overtaking an otherwise ideal
universe. The scene is displayed in a cutaway view of a mountainous
land, and a watery underground flooded with the undead. Where as the
underground dwelling dolphins and their environment are rendered in a
flat and saturated style, the zombies are detailed and sketchy- giving
more life to the fantasy than the familiar.
Roope Eronen is a Finnish musician and comic artist. He has been
releasing his comics and drawings in Glömp, Kuti and NK among others.
Roope's comic album "Animals" was released by Huuda Huuda in September
2009. He's a member of productive comic studio Kutikuti in Helsinki.
Roope plays music in such bands as Avarus and Maniacs Dream, and plays
solo as Nuslux.
This issue is 3 of 3 curated by Kemialliset Ystävät (Finnish for "Chemical Friends"). It is also the name of a recording project of musician Jan Anderzén,
who began recording under the name in 1995 and has produced countless
recordings since with numerous other musicians and as solo projects.
