My first children’s book, that you can find at the book store’s shelves. Continuing my collaboration with Hunt Publishing, we created a children’s book inspired by Icelandic Christmas mythology. As with my previous projects, I handled every aspect of the book myself: the layout, cover design, and, of course, the illustrations, which were created using my favorite traditional medium — gouache. The book was awarded a special jury prize for newcomers at the Estonian Best Book Design 2024 Competition.

Layout and illustrations for a non-fiction book exploring the history of language and the diversity of communication. The book includes a wide range of visuals, from ancient rock paintings to detailed anatomical schemes. The primary technique used is digital illustration, blending historical accuracy with modern design.

This picture book is inspired by the classic rhyme "The House That Jack Built." Using paper collage with minimal digital adjustments, I aimed to capture the chaotic, dynamic, and absurd atmosphere of the text. The visuals echo its rhythmic, repetitive structure, creating a playful harmony between image and word.
