My Name Is Tolja
I’m an illustrator and author from Occitania (France). After graduating in law with two diplomas, I decided to live my childhood dream of becoming an artist for a living, and igniting the creative passion within others.
From there, I became a freelance illustrator, painting book covers, TTRPG characters and portraits, all the while working on my graphic novel, Malysh or the Trial of an Outdated Democracy. I also write and illustrate short comics.
Through my academic experience, I aim to include thoughtful reflections within my work inspired by philosophy and law, and to inspire others to undertake their own creative dreams, even if they never drew or painted before.
I stream art tips and my own art process live on twitch multiple times a week.
All of my works are available to read for free on this website.
