Client comments

It has been a blessing working with an artist that is so involved, talented and driven.

But Marko has more than just these qualities. He also has a good understanding of what an artist wants and knows how to put these ideas into the visual realm.

Now, that's being a real pro.

Briefly

Welcome to my online portfolio. I am an artist and a graphic/web designer from Helsinki (FI).

During the last twenty five years or so I've done various design work, mostly for the music industry. In plain english: album artwork, illustrations, posters and web sites for various bands and labels.

Even though I occasionally work as a graphic or a web designer, my main focus still lies on my artistic endeavours. That means painting and promoting graffiti: both murals as well as smaller scale productions, canvases and publications.
