Campaign on my design at Caseapp.

Hello!

Just wanted to say that now we run a small campaign on all my animals at Caseapp. If you want a new mobile cover or a new look for the computer with my design on, this is a great opportunity!

Just click HERE, and you will come to their webshop. Choose model, motif and then enter the discount code SWART20 when you arrive at the checkout and you will get 20% discount on the entire purchase. (The code is valid until 19/10/2019).

I took the opportunity to shop a bit myself ;)

Portrait

Here the days run away at a crazy pace! It usually does on holiday, but it goes even faster now when we have little Ebba. Right now we fill the days with lazy days at the beach, lots of excursions and quality time with family and friends. It's really wonderful! <3 But I have also had time to draw a little. Among other things, a portrait of our little Ebba. I thought I would do at least one portrait of her a year then she's going to get them all when she grows up. Maybe on her 18th birthday.

This is what the drawing process looked like step by step:

There she is our little sunshine! Next time I will probably not choose a picture where she has a pajamas with 589 stripes on (haha). Right now I am on maternity leave, but if anyone is interested in order a portrait, I thought I would bring it up again this autumn. Just give me a call or send me an email.

Hope you have a great time in the summer heat!

”Nordens Ark goes Sanna Wieslander"

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I've been working on animal illustrations for Nordens Ark this spring. These illustrations have then been printed on new products for their shop in the park. Previously, this was a bit of a secret, but now it's finally time for release! On their 30th birthday party, 15th of June to be precise! I'm so excited about this!

So come and celebrate with us! I will be in the park all day long talking about the illustrations and signing prints. Read more info about the party schedule here: www.nordensark.se

Among other things, 11 framed limited edition prints will be on auction. The illustration depicts the snake necked turtle with a map on the shell (that I have drawn). Why there are 11 is because there are so many turtles that are currently on Nordens Ark.

The snake-necked turtle was last seen on the small island of Roti in Indonesia but is now feared extinct in the wild.Hence the map on the shell. At Nordens Ark, they hold one of Europe's largest breeding colonies in order to be able to return the species to the island of Roti, where they previously lived.

All entries that come in via the auction this Saturday can help this vulnerable species of turtle find its way home again! So join us and bid now!

Here are some pictures from the drawing process of some of the other illustrations I drew for Nordens Ark. You will find these on new wonderful products in their shop on Saturday. On posters for example!

Det här är bara en liten tjuvkik. Mer bilder kommer efter kalaset. Hoppas att vi ses där! :)

(Continuation of post)

Hello again! Now we have returned home from a really wonderful birthday party at Nordens Ark. So many people! Someone whispered that it was even a record number of visitors. I'm so happy for them! It really was a great day! And when you have a little too much fun that you easily forget to take pictures. But I talked with the lovely staff at Nordens Ark so now I'm a few photos richer. And here they come:

Signing all limited edition prints on the Snake necked turtle. During the day, 2 of 11 art prints were promoted. An open and a silent auction (The rest is saved for other special occasions).

Signed, numbered and framed!

A small presentation before it was time for auction of art print no. 2/11. (Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the lovely audience.)

This is Jimmy (Turtle expert on Nordens Ark), me and the fantastic Sixten (in the middle) who bid home the snake necked turtle no. 2/11 for SEK 10,000! Incredible! THANK YOU Sixten! The money goes directly to help the endangered snake necked turtle return to Indonesia again.

No party without cake!

This is what it looks like in one of the corners of the store right now. New products with my illustrations on.

Posters, posters, posters.

My parents bought some new mugs for their summer house.

When I was little, my future dream job was to be an artist or animal keeper. So it's not so bad to now be an artist who works together with a park who helps endangered animals. #pinchingmyarm

Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing assignment and a really wonderful birthday party! I really hope to see you all again soon! Hugs to you all!
