PAX SERIES
Together with authors Åsa Larsson & Ingela Korsell, I'm one of the creative minds
behind this fantastic series of children's books. With an exciting mixture of nordic folk lore, horror,
magic and real-life drama. This Urban Fantasy epic starring troubled brothers Alrik & Viggo
has garnered rave reviews. Managing to thrill many readers beyond it's 9-12 core age group.
Quickly becoming a bestseller.
With ten Pax books planned the series and has already had it's publishing rights
sold to 20+ countries and been translated to as many languages.
As illustrator for the series my goal is to give the readers a visual and cinematic experience
by adding wordless black & white sequential comic pages as illustrations. Side by side with traditional book text
these illustrations are carefully chosen per book to give scenes extra life. By intensifying emotions and scare
or thrill with action scenes and drama to the already amazing story written by Åsa & Ingela.
We together aim to give these old fairy tales new life with modern portrayals to compete with the graphics
and special effects of any of todays games and movies. With literature there's no budget limit for your imagination.
