IN ENGLISH - Sebastian Dahlström

Illustrations - Caricatures - Infographics - Vector graphics
Editorial illustrations, caricatures, realistic portraits, infographics! The paintings are hand made from scratch - no photo manipulation. I paint digitally using Procreate or Adobe Photoshop. I also make animations and digital graphics (using Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects).

I am based in Finland close to Helsinki, but I have customers globally.

Comic Style Illustration
Movement and expression, simplification and stylisation.I create eye-catching and funny illustrations that simplify a complicated idea.
Working with Sebastian is fun, easy and inspiring. As an illustrator he masters several different techniques and is eager to meet the thoughts, requests and requirements of those he is working with. Agenda has had the pleasure of co-operating with Sebastian for many years.

- Ted Urho. Executive manager, Agenda.
Realistic Style Illustration
A 3D effect with great attention to details, light and shadow. No line art.
As a Visual Producer at Yle (The Finnish Broadcasting Company) for the presidential election 2018, I asked Sebastian Dahlström to draw caricatures of each candidate (8 altogether) for our web site. His caricatures were brilliant. Funny but in a decent way, just as we wanted them, and Sebastians' drawing technique is mind blowing. A strong recommendation!

- Petteri Bülow, Visual producer, Yle
Caricatures and Portraits
Both in the caricatures and the portraits I try to go beyond mere likeness to capture the personality of my subject.
Sebastian is an amazing illustrator and an overall great guy to work with. He has a broad field of knowledge and is a fast learner. He's helped us out at Lindebarn for a long while, handling very different kinds of graphic design and even animation tasks, in a flexible and diverse manner, always with a positive and helpful attitude. I strongly recommend him.

- Marco Lindholm, CEO Lindebarn.
Infographics, vector graphics and animation
I make infographics and 2D animation. I also make other kinds of illustration-based vector graphics, like posters and book covers. I have made the illustrations and animations for this video.

Sebastian Dahlström
Illustrator, journalist

I am an illustrator and journalist from Finland. I have over 15 years of experience as a news reporter and producer at the Finnish broadcasting company Yle before I started my own full time business in the fall of 2020. I have a masters degree in communication from the University of Helsinki. My thesis is about visual journalism in the context of political elections.

As a freelancer I have the opportunity to combine my passion for drawing and painting with my background as a journalist. Both in illustration and in journalism storytelling is an essential skill. I am good at communicating an idea effectively both in writing and in pictures.

My mother tongue is Swedish, and as a journalist I also make translations from English or Finnish to Swedish.

My customers are among others the Finnish broadcasting company Yle, the think-tanks Agenda and Magma, the branding agency Lindebarn as well as various media companies, organisations and newspapers.

In my spare time I am a bass-player and a swimrunner.
