VIKTORIA

ÅSTRÖM

I'm Viktoria Åström

I'm a freelancing Artist, Illustrator and Animator.  I live in an old house in the north­ern penin­sula just out­side Gothen­burg, Swe­den with my hus­band, two daughters and a very happy black labrador.

I have a BA in Computer Science from Lund University and a MA of Arts in Design for Interactive Media at Middlesex University.  After Middlesex, I worked as a webdeveloper and webdesigner for a few years in London before undertaking a PG Certificate in Animation from London Animation Studio where I graduated i 2003. 

I have been a freelancer ever since, with exception for a few years as an Art Director at HIQ Gothenburg where I worked for clients such as Volvo, SCA, Wellspect and Trelleborg AB.  

As an Artist, I do a lot of my work by hand. I paint watercolours, make large inkdrawings and create prints by carving rubber. I run a webbshop on Etsy where I sell my work, but I also do illustrative and 2D animation work for clients. Besides working by hand I also paint and design a lot digitally in for example Illustrator and Photoshop. 

I am based in Sweden, but I do have clients all over the world, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have a project in mind.
