  While Spring is slowly coming to an end and days are getting warmer and warmer, it's just a perfect time for one thing: picnics. But, I do not mean an ordinary one.

• An Interview with Mari Ahokoivu, The Comics Artist

  
  When I first saw some illustrations and comics by Mari Ahokoivu, I remained speechless for a while, just silently turning one page after another. The next step was to search for her blog on the internet and once again I was silently clicking the ‘next’ button and being absorbed into a small world of her honest stories. You can find yourself very easily in her narration, you can even say ‘Hey, this is about me too!’. I followed her blog entries for several weeks and because I have found so much inspiration there, I decided to bring her stories and great talent closer to you as well.

• The Stories Within Pictures #14: Valentine’s Skiing

  
  Winter in Finland means combination of three things – endless tracks, hours spent in the nature and of course skiing. People can be crazy about it. Count their kilometers or even the calories.

• The Stories Within Pictures #10: Markets, Diana and Love

  
  Every city has its own places which can be proudly called meeting points. People meet there to have a cup of coffee or tea, to chat, shop or just marvel at life and gossip a bit. It doesn’t really matter whether they meet there accidentally or they plan it ahead, the joy of meeting someone is still there, bound to that special place.
