The Paper Bandit

I am a freelance illustrator currently living and working in Oslo, Norway. I work mostly with collage as a medium to explore a range of different themes such as identity, fantasy, and the darker side of human nature; recently exploring the theme of female serial killers. I am constantly trying to find beauty in often dark and serious subject matters, frequently subverting everyday imagery to create narratives that are seductive, yet unsettling. Recurring imagery such as obscured faces reveal my fascination with masked identity and loss of sense of self.

My work is quite diverse. Even though I work mostly with collage, I also do a lot of photography and drawing. If you would like to commission me, buy a print, or have any questions about my work please don’t hesitate to contact me on the following email: victoria.u.iles@gmail.com.

I am also part of The Sauce Collective. We are a creative collective of illustrators, photographers, and designers, who work both collaboratively and independently on a range of projects. You can see our work, buy our zines, and commission us for projects through our website.

You can have a look at more of my work on my tumblr, which I update frequently, or on my blogspot where I go into more detail about the things that I am doing. You can also follow me on twitter and like my artist page on facebook.
