Anna Höglund

 

Starting out as a poor painter, artist Anna Höglund believed making picture books would put more solid food on the table for her family. It didn’t really. But she discovered the possibilities of the medium, which today she still considers the ultimate: the crossbreeding of text and picture suits her perfectly. She has been doing this since 1982, when she was twenty-four.

Peek Inside the Dark, Strange, Hilarious World of "Look Hamlet"

Starring a lop-eared bunny Hamlet and a host of other jealous, poison-drinking, murderous woodland creatures, Look Hamlet is the irresistible lovechild of Edward Gorey and Beatrix Potter. It’s illustrated with grim whimsy and surprising depth of feeling by award-winning Swedish artist Anna Höglund, and we’re delighted to share a look at those illustrations here.
