Ninni Aalto's Mechanical Rabbit!

IMG_0723Our Finnish friend Ninni Aalto is a wonderful artist, writer, and graphic designer--you may remember her Tallahassee Tentacles hockey shirts. Now she has a new book out, Sähköjänis, which translates (we are told) as Mechanical Rabbit (electric?). Ninni has a real rabbit named Schopenhauer, and a cartoon version of this bunny appears (prominently) in the book. (Check out the website.)Sähköjänis is autobiographical, with Aalto or her alter-ego appearing in it. Some of the comics are about coffee or about her life as a graphic designer with ideas coming out of her faster than she can keep up with them. There are day-in-the-life comics and others featuring cats. It's really quite cool.Here are the great endpapers, and a few of the interior pages...IMG_0724IMG_0725IMG_0726IMG_0727
