Background:
I've been a compulsive drawer since early age, always busy with whatever pen and paper I could get my hands on. I began by working extensively in traditional media, but have in recent years been experimenting with incorporating digital techniques into my artwork.
After having completed the economical program in senior high, I studied Psychology,
Literature and Arts at the university of Gothenburg. I then proceeded to multimedia and webdesign studies at ITC (now sadly defunct), which occupied me for two years, before I proceeded to work in this field.
Present:
In the summer of '99, I decided to go solo as a freelancing illustrator and for
this reason I formed Cabin fever media. Things have gone splendid so far, and
I've had the pleasure of working with a vast amount of interesting projects,
including over 150 album covers - some for bands selling well over the 100 000 mark.
Future:
Future endeavours include branching out into editorial illustration and animation as well as
finding time for some personal projects. Stay tuned for more info!
