Krönikan om Jarmaland

Krönikan om Jarmaland (“The Jarmaland Chronicles”) – A young-adult, historical-fantasy set in XIV century Scandinavia by Swedish author Johan Theorin.

I provided illustrations for the covers, map, and chapter headings (the latter remain unused).

When the publisher commissioned the artwork for the project, we discussed the visual style of the interior illustrations and opted for a vintage feeling, vaguely inspired by XV-XVI century European woodcut art and cartography. For example, the map of Scandinavia in the year 1363 is heaviliy influenced by the famous Carta marina by Olaus Magnus.

The chapter headers, unfortunately, didn’t make it to the printed book.
