My name is Linda, and I’m a Helsinkian illustrator who blogs about her hometown. My mission with my blog – Helsinki Side Quest – is spreading the word about how awesome the city is. I try to pick out awesome off-the-beaten-path spots to share with locals and tourists alike.

To give something extra to the blog, I add an illustrated self-portrait to each post. I make the illustrated version of myself interact with the environment as well as I can. Here’s a collection of the self-portraits that I’ve done so far!
