Available to hire
I’m Kolbeinn Karlsson, a comic artist and visual artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. My practice spans comics, performance, animation, and public art commissions, and I often explore themes of the body, community, and queer perspectives.
I’ve exhibited nationally and internationally, published books in Swedish, English, and Finnish, and received several grants and residencies.
