About

I am a versatile illustrator and journalist based in Linköping, Sweden. Since June 1994, I have been self-employed as a freelance illustrator, creating artworks such as album covers, comic books, advertisements, posters, and t-shirt prints for clients across Sweden, England, and the USA. Over the years, I have collaborated with numerous clients, delivering creative visual solutions tailored to their needs. My work embraces a broad range of projects, allowing me to develop a diverse and adaptable artistic style.

In addition to my illustration work, I have built experience as a journalist and photographer, writing articles, reviews, and reports for media outlets such as Linköpingsposten and Östgötidningen. This blend of creative and journalistic pursuits keeps me passionate about storytelling in both visual and written forms, while my technical skills in media production and graphic design enhance my ability to communicate effectively across various platforms.
