News — Early 2025

Short film works weekly at midnight when the clock tolls for Tuesday.

This new Patreon series, Monday Midnight Movies, presents all my filmed or film-type works in a special format involving an introduction, the technical details, links, background information and reflections, still frames, and an outro.

Started this Patreon series, Grant Application Files, which documents all my grant applications one by one.

These entries not only provide unique insight (as far as I can know, no one else has done this) into this aspect of an independent artist’s life but also shed light on the state of organisational support for the arts in Finland.

No editorialising, only the facts, my works, and the results, which all speak for themselves.

With the second 3-day weekly cycle, I started the first of several irregular but central series to come, Health & Creativity. This will delve deeply into fertile, universal areas I’ve so far been able to touch on only lightly and in passing.

With The Better Patreon, I can finally say more and, most importantly, illuminate topics of universal value not only to artists but all human beings.

Started the series of appreciations and creative discussions of every episode of the great early 1990s TV series Northern Exposure.

The first episode offers a natural place to discuss everything about the concept and overall nature of the show, hence the two parts. Also includes a reverse engineering of the plot.

The NX series (collection) can be found here.

The official start of The Better Patreon, with the first issue of The Better Patreon Newsletter (weekly), the first short story, the first poem, and the first chapter from Art & Love, Vol. 1.

For the now fully up-to-date subpage for The Better Patreon, with a brand-new shopfront and the introductory posts, see here. The Shop item descriptions are all newly written.

Started the soft launch of my private Patreon, The Better Patreon.

Before regular, private posts begin, the first few days will involve a number of introductory posts outlining various features and the nature of this Patreon.

The $3 tier grants access to all posts to come, and the $9 tier provides that as well as access to all my creative works for no additional cost.

The Shop is already open, and the introductory posts will be gathered into this collection.

My Film pages, from Film 1 to Film 5, are now fully up to date and complete, listing all 39 short works I’ve created during my first decade in this field, from 2015 to 2025. All of them are now also fully listed on IMDb.

Published the full sheet music of the piano duet The 13th Tale from the North on my site here.
