About

Hi, I’m Eelis Nilukka!

I’m a comic artist from Finland.

If you’re into challenging traditional masculinity or explorations of anxiety and loneliness, I may have something for you! See the descriptions of all of my comics here.

Many of my comics can be read online for free. If you’d like to support my work, check out ebooks on my Gumroad or subscribe to my Patreon to unlock exclusive content. You can also buy posters and other printed products on my Society6 shop.
