Tiina Konttila
Hi! I'm Tiina Konttila, an illustrator from Ostrobothnia who loves fun tidbits of information, history, humour and great stories. My career started with Lasten sarjisopas (S&S, 2018), a children's guide to creating comics, which I wrote and illustrated. Since then, I've been lucky to have worked on various projects, such as children's books and school materials.
I've also designed a package for crisps and the exterior of a mobile library. I'm looking forward to creating my first mural and an installation soon. I enjoy creating and hope to continue lerning and enhancing my craft. As a collaborator I am easy-going and enthusiastic.
Funny characters and humor are at the heart of what I do, but I'm interested in hearing about all kinds of projects. I work on my iPad using Procreate, and I also use Adobe software (Photoshop + inDesign) for image editing and book layouts. When schedules allow, I also do school visits and workshops based on a children's guide to creating comics that I wrote. I get excited by things easily!
