It’s always nice to draw mythological characters in strange context. Here’s Hermes, the messenger of gods, in a illustration about flight socks.

I tried to strech my style a little bit with this illustration about a death of a mother for Anna magazine. Finnish words on the flag are the beginning of the song “Farewell Waltz”, the favorite song of the mother in the story.

I did this illustration about home security for Osaava Kodinrakentaja -magazine (~”Handy Home builder”) as a first job of year 2009. And I did it totally against their instructions and wishes. They told me that it’s a beautiful picture but do it again and obey the instructions and wishes.

Here’s the result. I like it and so did they. Next time I’ll show the scetches before Photoshopping if I plan do something else than what was asked.

I did this just before christmas holiday for Anna -magazine.  It’s about ending the relationship. I played a little bit with different strokes in Illustrator trying to get a hand drawn feeling.
