About Us

Göteborg 2027

Together with Stefan van Dinther, he created the innovative comic anthology Eiland (Island), which caught the attention of Wired Magazine and brought the duo international acclaim. Solo, Schalken has published Balthazar, but most of his comic strips to date have appeared in Eiland and in international anthologies such as Lapin or Kramers Ergot.

Authors

Tobias Tycho Schalken

Schalken’s paintings are reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich’s desolate romanticism but also surrealistic. […] 'Eldorado' compels you to reflect on the world—and that’s what counts.

Schalken gets away with both literary voiceovers and wordless choreography on paper, stories without characters and classical narratives: each time the result is highly personal and perfectionistic.

Eldorado

The beautiful, carefully compiled 'Eldorado' showcases Tobias Schalken’s diverse and original work in all its glory. Surprising surreal paintings provide moments of calm between short stories that are so different they could have been written by several authors. 'Eldorado' is a clear testament to Schalken’s unique imagination and craftsmanship.
