I’m Idun, a visual artist and illustrator based in Malmö, Sweden. I’m particularly drawn to narrative imagery, character design, as well as picture book illustration that can be appreciated by both children and adults. My practice is fluid and adaptable, allowing the visual language to shift from project to project, while remaining anchored in my way of illustrating people. My experience includes freelance commissions, editorial illustration for Lundagård, and leading illustration teams as Head of Illustration. I often use digital tools that preserve a hand-made, tactile quality. Moving between traditional and digital media is central to how I explore visual storytelling.
