Bim Eriksson is a comic artist, creator and writer based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Through her illustrations and comics she expresses the things most people don’t even dare to talk about. By playing with the traditionally cute and girly and binding it together with something odd and serious she has come to be acknowledged for her raw, funny, smart and cocky style. Regardless if she’s using her sticky fine liners on paper, draws on walls or paint with colorful acrylics.
Bim has written political editorials for one of Sweden's largest newspapers, Aftonbladet. She's lectured about comic creation at Shanghai International Studies University in China.
2017 she received Stockholms culture scholarship for artists who made a big imprint on the city.
