Illustrator - Marcus Gunnar Pettersson

Marcus Gunnar Pettersson was born in 1987 and grew up in Värmland. Marcus Gunnar studied at Konstfack and found his way to his profession through the picture book. He works mainly in watercolor and ink. The motifs often take the form of slightly surreal events, all with a penchant for the grotesque but still humorous.

For OLIKA, Marcus Gunnar has illustrated the books Badbomber & simhopp, Camping & kurragomma and Dansbus & kaktrubbel, which the author Marin Salto wrote after interviewing Roma children about their everyday life. The project is particularly close to Marcus Gunnar's heart because he himself has a background in Roma culture. It is also Marcus Gunnar who has illustrated the book Vi letar skatt, written by Jesper Lundqvist.
