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

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.
