I'm a Swedish freelance illustrator, specializing in character illustrations of fantasy and historical characters and creatures. I've been drawing for as long as I remember and studied traditional art earlier in life.
I've also studied Information Design and illustration at Mälardalens högskola. My studies comprised of both practical and theoretical studies, such as the fundamentals of design, hierarchy, flow, colour theories and readability of an illustration. All of which primarily had the end user in mind. During my studies I made everything from instruction manuals, cutaways and biological illustrations, to animations and websites. You can see some of this work under the "Informative/Scientific Illustration" tab.
After my studies I've now worked as a freelance illustrator more than three years. I've first and foremost worked for roleplaying games publishers with a focus om fantasy and characters.
