Gotland

I´ve been on vacation. Sun, sun and sun at beautiful Gotland - the magic island. But now I´m back and ready for more inspiration.

Cassandra Rhodin

This classy watercolor look from Cassandra Rhodin is amazing! I saw an illustration by her in a magazine when I went to Thailand in may last year - and I felt in love! Totally. But I didn´t know the name of the artist. Until now. Ther´s an interview with her in the latest Cap&Design.

Gunvor Rasmussen

This is a book with bed time stories, illustrated by Gunvor Rasmussen from Bergen. It´s adorable! It always makes me happy to spot new local talents. Check out her website for more adorable lines.

Svein Nyhus

I was at the library today. I have to do that more often! It´s filled with inspiration!

This is from the book Mrs Plum's Secret by Gro Dahle, illustrated by Svein Nyhus - who is one of my favourites. I´ve actually sent him a fan letter as well. Ha ha.

This is what Nyhus publishing house says about his style:
"Inspired by the cartoon tradition and pop culture, Nyhus makes use of a sophisticated comic strip style. His pictures are detailed, stylistically assured, controlled and detailed with clearly delineated forms. His illustrations are muted in tone, executed in a mixture of pencil/coloured pencil and crayon. The narrative background to the story is achieved using a kind of simplified functionalistic expression with elements of art deco, realised with great stylistic aplomb." Read more here: Gyldendal

Moomin

I just had to buy this cute pillow from the Moomin shop at Helsinki airport. Let me introduce: Snufkin! He is a philosophic vagabond and has many admirers, especially among those who are small and shy.

Anatomie

News from GelaSkins:
We've all wondered at sometime or another what a gummi bear looks like on the inside, you know, underneath all the gumminess. Well my friends the wait is over so ponder no longer. Dr. Jason Freeny* has spent tireless hours in the lab cataloging even the most intricate gummi systems for your anatomical enjoyment.

* Dr. Freeny received honorary doctorates in Advanced Gummi Theori, Gummi Cardiologi and Drawing Good from the University of Awesome.
