Freelance illustrator and comic book artist

Hello, dear visitor who have stumbled into my website. Tom Richard Tokle aka Tomte is the name, born in 1982 and living the sweet life in Stavanger, Norway. I'm a freelance illustrator and a comic book artist with a love and burning passion for the horror genre and anything dark and morbid. Black ink is in my blood. I’ve been printed in several underground anthologies, collaborated with various writers, worked a period as a newspaper illustrator and has self-released my own anthology albums “Anxiety” from 2010 till 2011. Tomte.org is more or less my portfolio for potential clients to see my work and anyone interested in what I'm producing.

Future projects

March 4th 2012: So maybe it's about time to break up this cryptic tone and reveal some stuff? Yeah, why not, here's a little note for ya: I'm working on a new comic series that will be sold digitally, in cooperation with my girlfriend, to be more specific. I won't reveal any title just yet and what this is about, but it's pretty exciting and ambitious stuff, I can tell you. And yes, it's of course horror, what else? :-)

Meanwhile, visit my Tumblr-site where I post my newest artwork and concept sketches:
