Welcome to my portfolio!

I’m Mikael Lindeberg, a comic artist from North Karelia, Finland. I started my comic journey by making small, one-page comics on Instagram, and in 2019 I started my webcomic Mellow & Strange. Since then, I’ve self-published two other comics: Mr. Nanny, You’re Hired! #1 (2021) & #2 (2022), and Shrapnel Scars (2022). I’m also currently being published by Filthy Figments, where I update my comic The Butler Did It (2023–).

I’ve also worked as an assistant (mainly lettering, coloring, and editorial work) on Ville Poter: Revefarmen (Victor Nordahl 2022, publ. Egmont Kids Media AS), Ville Poter: Skogen (Victor Nordahl 2023, publ. Egmont Kids Media AS) and Ville Poter: Byen (Victor Nordahl 2024, publ. Egmont Kids Media AS), as well as made comics for charity zines. I’ve also published a short comic Freak for the Let Her Be Evil -anthology (2024, edited by Cassandra Jones) that was nominated for the Ignatz award!

As for illustrations, I’ve done personal commissions since 2019. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure to work with over 100 different clients all around the world! Many of them returning customers. I’ve also been part of Nova & Mali’s art book And They Were Monsters (2024) and A Hitchhiker's Guide to Art History! (2024). I’ve been told I’m fast, easy to work with, and a good communicator.

As a person, I am quiet, determined, and a mix of both creative and logical. Both my creative and academic pursuits focus on death work one way or another, be it academic research into funeral homes or a story about grieving. I flourish in an environment that lets me work independently, and where I get to exercise both my creative and logical skills.
