Salmi
Salmi is a Finnish application which is made to help travellers to find services from different locations. With Salmi you can find the best events, restaurants, hotels or hiking trails from your town. ”Salmi” means narrows, a channel connecting two larger areas of water. So symbolically
two things, customers and services are connected.
I have made three illustrations for Salmi´s website. In the main picture two people, a man and a woman are in a forest, looking at the narrows and a city ahead. There are a few moving elements in this picture on the website. When you scroll down the page you can see how the fox and the owl close their eyes and dandelion fluff float through the picture.
In the second illustration the couple are sitting on a jetty and searching information about services from their location. This picture is made to show how travellers can use Salmi`s map application.
The last illustration is about AR (Augmented Reality). The equestrian statue turns ”alive” when looking at it on mobile phone´s AR application.

Pulkka
Pulkka is a restaurant at Tahko ski resort in Finland. Pulkka´s visual style is taken from Lapland and the symbols of indigenous Sami people.
The owner of the restaurant had a very clear vision about what he wanted the main pictures on their website to look like: An old shaman jumps off a ramp with skis and his friend follows with a sled. The other picture: A big man eats pizza the size of a table. A skinny man at the next table is shocked! And the third guy at the bar counter watches them amused.

Australia guide
The following digital illustrations are made for a guide book for backpackers in Australia. The book tells how to find a job or accommodation in Australia, how to buy a car, what are the best places to visit and much more. The book is still in progress waiting for to be published.
I have made several illustrations for the guide book and here are a few selected ones. Fictional backpacker characters from different countries pop up in hilarious and perhaps didactic situations from one page to another.
Wanted
This Wanted-poster becomes ”alive” via an AR application. The cowboy starts talking and buttons with different symbols show up. By pushing the buttons the application will lead you forward. This AR experience is actually a recruitment advertisement for a salesman. It is made together with a company called Hurja Solutions and our own advertising agency OuWau. I have illustrated the button symbols and little artwork details on the poster.
Wanted application is exposed on Hurja´s website:
