Olivia Skoglund (occasionally pseud. Grove) is a cartoonist from Gävle, Sweden currently residing in Malmö. She illustrates using primarily analouge techniques because of an intense love for black ink, and makes comics about awkwardness, LGBT, the urban norm and geek culture. She also works as an event organizer and has worked with a variety of different comic festivals in Sweden.
