Tuomas Ikonen
Hello! I'm Tuomas Ikonen, an illustrator and versatile visual artist. I mainly work digitally using Photoshop and Procreate, but I also enjoy working with acrylic paints. My illustrations and paintings have been featured in various publications and exhibitions around the world. Recently, you can find my work in magazines, books, postage stamps, beer cans and album covers.
I'm fluent in Finnish and English, and I can work on a fast schedule.

“A humorous, cheeky and energetic illustration without any pompousness. Coffee and cake are part of Finnish celebrations.”
