Animal Kingdom goes to Russia!

I have got some very exciting news, I am off to Moscow! I have never been to Russia before and I am super excited and at the same time slightly worried as I am going there during the coldest time in the year but long johns, gloves, scarves and cardigans have been packed and I have got extra insoles for my warmest boots and some how think that as I grew up in the north of Sweden where we can have days where its -23, I should some how know something about cold - let's see how wrong or right I am about that.

Except exploring Moscow I will also exhibit with the super talented Mina milk and Roma Hek. We will open our exhibition on the 8th of February so if you happen to be in Moscow then put your long johns on and come and join us!

The exhibition will be up and running until the 14th of March at;

Ciferblat
House 12
Tverskaya Street
Moscow

And just because I think Russian is such a beautiful language I have to post my Russian Bio;

Оса Викман - шведский иллюстратор и дизайнер. На данный момент живёт и работает в Лондоне. Два, пожалуй. самых важных аспекта её творчества - это юмор и воображение. Осе нравится придумывать и воплощать неожиданные, порой весьма причудливые сюжеты, которые непременно заставляют зрителей улыбаться. Часть её работ нарисована от руки, часть создана на компьютере. Области, в которых Оса уже успела поработать, поражают своим разнообразием - это и оформление витрин, и создание принтов для одежды, и дизайн упаковки, и иллюстрации для детских книг, и поиск интерьерных решений для отелей, и многое другое. Её работы можно встретить в британском журнале Vogue, а также в популярном шведском издании Cap&Design. В числе последних её клиентов - TSHIRT STORE, Åhlens, Super superficial, The Wallery, Anorak Magazine and Bilingual by Music.

Update!

I finally updated my web shop with a bunch of prints.

Animal Kingdom Private View in Stockholm

Here are some pics from my private view in Stockholm. I met so many old friends and collegues as well as new faces and had such a good time that I forgot to take photos but here are at least some. It was a great night and of the 9 pieces that I am exhibiting, I sold 8 on the private view, amazing!

Thanks to everyone who came down and made it such a great night! The exhibition will be up and running until the 8/2 at Bar Nada in Stockholm.

Well,

it's King Kong of-course ;)

Words of wisdom

Words of wisdom on a late Monday night…



I planned the final illustration to look like the one above but I actually prefer the sketch, with messy text all over the place so here's the Animal Kingdom Vulture.

Gorilla!

I love silly, ugly drawings that make me laugh and today I needed a good laugh so I thought that it was about time that the Animal Kingdom bear got a friend, a gorilla;




Here's some crazy stories about human beings and their relationships with animals, the crocodile Pocho in Costa Rica, Mark Duma and the polar bear Agee  and the famous Lion man Kevin Richardsson and Anita and the wolves at the Polar Zoo.

Now I will eat nutella and stalk Art Directors.

PS. Thanks for all the comments, it's nice to know that someone reads the blog, thanks for the feedback!
