Last Lick – Tommi Musturi

Screen printed artist book by Tommi Musturi. The book was printed during a week-long residency at our workshop in Kortedala, in June 2024. Rich in textures, gradients, experimentation, play and wild original drawings – Last Lick is a 24-page art work with flow and spark. 

Tommi Musturi is a Finnish artist, editor and publisher with an incredibly long back list of published works since he started out creating music, comics and art books in the mid-nineties. Almost thirty years of unstoppable production, experimentation and constant visual communication with a couple of generations of comic artists and underground publishers in Finland and all over the world. Tommi draws in a storm of styles and techniques, from pixels to brush strokes, always fitting the form to the story and message. As an editor and publisher he has been a driving force in shaping the Finnish comics scene through projects like the anthology Glömp (1997-2010), the publishing house Huuda Huuda (2006–2016) and Kutikuti collective (2005 – still going strong). Recently he moved to the village Siuro and opened a bookstore Stuff that presents the margins and experiments of the book form.
