This is the back page of the book I’ve illustrated. 73 fully illustrated and coloured pages. It took a very, very long time. Like, even longer than that. You could probably fill a pool with the amount of tea necessary to fuel that many of my working hours.

Because both I and the author was born and grew up on Rjukan, I’ve used several things related to that place. This in particular is Rjukan fossen, and the traditional dress you can only just see, is the Tinn bunad. Various regions has it’s own variant of traditional clothing, and this is the one from where I grew up. I can’t say I think it’s the prettiest ones, but the embroidery is very lovely, and one of the chief reasons it costs a mint to make.
