Sappho-illustration
Spot illustration (that made it to the cover as well) of Sappho the Greek poet for Turun Ylioppilaslehti Tylkkäri 01/22.
The essay covered how Sappho's poems been burned and incorrectly translated because she wrote a love poem to women. It was humbling process to learn about her influence, study different sculptures and incorporate vaporware aesthetics to complete the look.

Anti-debate illustrations
I illustrated a essay about politics in universities and the culture of anti-debates for Tylkkäri- Turku University magazine 06/2021.
Spot illustrations
The essay covers politics in universities and the culture of anti-debates. I approached the topic with the idea that anti debate could be seen as a bunch of people making a lot of noise and not listening to others + actively trying to silence others by stuffing instruments with trash. So in this visual, noise or a voice symbolizes a political output.
Bitcoin illustrations for the front cover & article
I illustrated the front cover and a article with spot illustrations of bitcoin for Tylkkäri- Turku University magazine 01/2021.
In bitcoin slang the ones owning a bit portion of the coins are called whales and their actions cause riffles and waves that affect the whole market- hence the sea theme.
It was challenging but fun to combine intangible bitcoin subjects with sea elements. I used various references to create a rich illustration, for example 3D models and video footage for the sea turtle, blue whale and the shark.
