Eesu Lehtola

Eesu Lehtola is an illustrator, animator, filmmaker and graphic designer living in Helsinki, Finland.

Eesus’ work is stylistically ever-changing due to his relentless pursuit of experimenting with new technologies and media. He is influenced by 80’s skateboarding subculture, record covers, old poster art as well as dreams and subconsciousness.

“I usually try to simplify my illustrative works. I enjoy creating bold, simple images that are conceptually driven. I try not to be too meticulous when creating my illustrations. I find great beauty in human error. It is these small errors, such a kink in a line, that make the artwork interesting and give it a personal touch and warmth that is lost in certain forms of digital illustration.”

He is also a co-owner and one of the founders of the design agency, Visual Kult. Additionally, Eesu is a co-owner of the film and production company Silent Paprika Films and founder and creative force of Fire1984, a skateboard and apparel brand.
