Brief Summary
Hello!
My name is Jens Magnusson. I'm a Stockholm-New York-based illustrator and artist working for a broad variety of clients. My portfolio includes works for books, magazines, newspapers, museums, kitchen ware producers, advertising etc.
My goal is to make people smile and hopefully lighten up their day.
I graduated with an MA in Illustration and Graphic Design at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack) in Stockholm in 1999. Since then I have been freelancing full-time. My inspiration comes from many different elements and I often get my ideas when out running.

Welcome to my portfolio!
