Viktor Jäderlund, born in 1987, is a deaf comic artist who works in Sweden. He mostly draws comics about deaf people and sign language users. But sometimes, he dreams of working on an epic comic project one day. His brain is often full of ideas of projects that he wants to do, but there is not much time for him.
When he begins one project, he is almost unstoppable. He draws at full speed. Many people are often shocked by seeing how fast Viktor can draw.
Once he completes a dream project, there is always a new one to dream of. But there's one special project that he loves, Tidsbyrån (TimeBureau), which he is hoping to complete sometime in the future.
He has written and made some contributions to these books: Dövas Dassbok (Deaf toilet joke book) in 2011 and Altcom No Borders in 2012; contributions to the comic Why, Skräpmonstret (The rubbish monster) in 2012; the cover of Ögats folk (The people of the eye) in 2012, the cover of Abe Z in 2013; the fanzine Kvarnby Serier in 2013 (Kvarnby comics); the Comic art school's yearbook, Serienördens kokbok (Comicbook nerd's cookbook), in 2014; contributions to the comic Kaktajm, Seger – en dövhistorisk seriebok (Victory – a deaf history comic book) in 2015; Plutonium Comics 12 in 2015; and contributions to the comic Flight.
