About

Yours truly

Portrait of me

I've been drawing for as long as I remember, and worked my way trough crayons, graphite, oils and digital mediums.

My education consists of traditional art school, followed by a web development education. Now I work as a digital designer on the swedish web agency Republic Factory which I also co-founded.

The images

I don't have any ambitions to do great art, I just draw stuff that I like. That usually means some mix of sci-fi, horror, fantasy, comics or other geeky pop culture.

I used to use Photoshop and a Wacom board, but some year ago I switched over to using an iPad Pro and the app Procreate. It's a lot more convenient to paint directly on the screen.

Legal stuff

These images are licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. That means you are free to use it for any non-commercial projects, as long as you give me credit for it. My paintings may not be used for training AI systems.

If in doubt, drop me a mail. I'm pretty relaxed around copyright.

Contact & Social

Mail

If you use these images for something, I'd love to hear about it. I've had mails from people using them for tattoos, as role playing props or as base designs for costume making. That's awesome!

And if you want to use them for something that doesn't fit the licence, just ask and we'll figure something out.
