About

This wacky portfolio is the creative domain of an utterly absurd storyteller!

Markus Eberhard Portrait

Hey there, I am Markilus, a freelance illustrator and comic artist based in Switzerland, who has a thing for strange stories, so naturally, I can’t resist bringing them to life with my illustrations.

The subject matter of my work is in the realm of the absurd, surreal, and dreamlike, intertwined with elements of fantasy and pop culture. In tone, my creations are cute and cheerful with a touch of dark elements to keep things interesting!

I graduated from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts with a Bachelor in Animation and a Master in Design.

Now I work as a freelance illustrator and comic artist, weaving exciting stories through visual art. Whether it’s a single image or a full-blown comic, I love experimenting with bizarre and offbeat narratives.

I’m currently working on my graphic novel “Abyss of Absurdity“. However, I put it on hold whenever I work on freelance projects.
