This is double spread 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 clothes worn by the brown haired children are old reconstructed versions of the local traditional wear, Tinn Bunad. It looks a bit different now.
