'The Student Commune'

Every Summer, rooms in Tartu’s dorms, apartments, and even houses are in high demand until all the students have settled somewhere before the new academic year begins.

Some settle for a few months, others until the next spring or longer. I once settled in a student commune for seven years!

Extras

1

The first sketch
I made it in 2023 in an early morning burst of creativity and it took me maybe only 10 minutes. This is turbo-fast for me.

2

Moving in...
with my clothes, piles of paper, a computer, a record player, CDs and DVDs, and (rarely used) dumbells. It was the end of the 2000s.

Making of... a party
We prepare the bottles that become the branded welcome drinks with special self-designed labels.

DIY Zeppelin
As I lacked money to buy original band shirts but had the willingness for DIY, I made a few myself with stencils and acrylic paint.
