About me

Hi!

I'm Victoria H. Hamre, a Norwegian illustrator and comic book artist. For the past few years I have been working freelance, illustrating children's books, creating comics, doing editorial illustrations and private commissions. I primarily draw digitally, but I also have an education within traditional painting and drawing.

I work in many different styles, but most of what I do is colorful and clean. My illustrations have a joyful palette and often feature strange creatures, people, and animals. My style has developed through years of reading comics and watching animated films, which has led to my great love of drawing and visual storytelling. I'm inspired by artists like Lucy Knisley, Kate Pellerin, Amanda Jolly, Hayao Miyazaki, and Lucie Ebrey.

If you would like to work with me I would love to hear from you, so pop by the 'contact me' section and send me an email!
