Future

A vibrant showcase for Musturi’s chameleon-like ability to completely switch styles. …exciting and visceral. Even if you might not quite grasp what’s happening in the stories, the artwork is so jaw-dropping that the search for meaning can be wholly abandoned in favor of simply absorbing the massive artistic achievement represented throughout the book. The Future is here, and it is glorious.– “Cinema Sentries”Future mostly examines immiseration of the consumer class under capitalism, as projected through the lens of fantasy and science fiction. Musturi pulls no punches in showing how the modern condition alienates us from each other, how it destroys our creativity, how it changes our nature, and how it will spur our demise.– “The Comics Journal”

Born in 1975, Tommi Musturi is a Finnish cartoonist, illustrator, graphic designer, and artist. In addition to his current ongoing series Walking with Samuel and The Books of Hope, Musturi contributes to the studio Kutikuti based out of Helsinki, which creates, publishes, and teaches comic art. Seeing that there was an unmet demand, Musturi co-founded Huuda Huuda in 2006 to translate international comics into Finnish, publish local comic artists, and get the word out about the vibrant Finnish scene by anthologizing the work in English. Musturi currently resides in Tampere, Finland.
