This is the latest book I bought, a book about the swedish illustrator and graphic designer Olle Eksell. I was really happy when I found it in Copenhagen, Denmark, but the book is printed in Japan by PIE Books 2006. (Don´t know if there is a swedish or english version?)
I especially like the things he made in the 50s, very nice illustrations for children (and there parents). He is also famous for making advertisement and packages for Mazetti.
Hi! My name is Lena and I love creative and beautiful things in life. Sometimes it inspires me to photograph and write something about it, hopefully you can enjoy it too. I have previously been freelancing as an illustrator, now I have a day job focused on communication, web development and graphic design for print and web.
