In the meantime however, Pitkämies is expanding it's business! That's right, I am opening a second shop in Helsinki. Pitkämies will be taking over the shop in Myymälä2
Myymälä2 is an art gallery in Uudenmaankatu, figuratively and literally the only underground gallery in the whole Helsinki Design District In a sense, the perfect partner for Pitkämies.
I am currently renovating the shop there, so it will have the same look. The name for the shop will, naturally, be Pitkämies2 . The new shop will focus a bit more on artistic comics but will feature also a healthy selection of great graphic novels and a wellcatered harvest of finnish comics. Music and clothing will ofcourse also be available. Events and concerts will be held there as well (for example Ben Butler and Mousepad on 8th of May), so in a sense this is more then just a cosy little extension to Pitkämies but will live a life on it's own as well.
The opening party will be held on 14th of May, but the store will be already operational 5th of May. More news will follow later.
p.s. My Facebookpage is still the best way to keep up to date with all that's happening at Pitkämies
p.p.s. what would Pitkämies2 be without the "pantteri" wallpaper designed by Ritva Kronlund?
