In his illustrations Jussi combines traditional pen and painting techniques and computer generated graphics, always aiming for clarity and insight. Besides illustrating for magazines, Jussi designs covers and illustrations for different books for both children and grown-ups. If he only had more time, he would like to draw more comics, too.
