Janika(inen); an Eye Candy Specialist from Finland.
My work focuses on storytelling while being a playground for color and detail. I gather inspiration from the world all around me and hope to create art that may reach and resonate with you. Whether it is the start of a daydream or a small chuckle.
While I specialize in comics and illustration, I have experience in graphic design and more.
