I want to share a repost of an older podcast show called Jákastið where I was interviewed shortly after publishing my first graphic novel. This project was a huge milestone for me, taking eight years to complete and marking my debut as a published comic artist in Iceland. The podcast conversation focuses on perseverance and maintaining a positive attitude when chasing a dream that might seem far away.
While the interview is in Icelandic, I highly recommend it to anyone who speaks the language and is interested in the creative journey behind making comics.

About the Podcast and the Episode
The podcast episode features a warm and insightful conversation about the challenges and rewards of creating art over a long period.
Here is a rough translation of the host’s introduction:
"My guest this week is Fannar Gilbertsson. Fannar is a comic artist who is about to release his own graphic novel called Gen-01. He is an amazing artist in every way. It was great, fun, lovely, interesting, educational, and wonderful to chat with Fannar. You are fantastic! Love and peace."
This episode is a great listen for artists and comic creators who want to hear about the realities of long-term creative projects and the mindset needed to succeed.
