Janne Kukkonen

Janne Kukkonen was born in 1983 in Rovaniemi, Finland. He spent his childhood reading and drawing comics, never considering doing anything else when he grew up. He studied animation at the Lybecker Institute in Raahe and has worked on various music videos, commercials, and animated shorts while writing his own scripts and stories during his free time. In 2014 he took a break from animation to create his first graphic novel, Lily the Thief. He now writes and illustrates his own comics full-time, and he still wouldn't consider doing anything else when he grows up.
