Let's Talk, Jenny Mörtsell

As reported here last week, I've started work on a new interview series called "Let's Talk" for Computerlove™, an online platform where creative folks can find news, share their portfolios, and make connections. The site is based out of France and is run by a great guy named Christophe Martin. For this latest interview, I had a chance to talk with Swedish illustrator Jenny Mörtsell. As you can see, she works primarily in pencil, and her drawings are stunningly realistic. Check out the excerpt below and read the full interview here.

Capturing the nuances of expression in the human face is no simple feat. However, Swedish illustrator Jenny Mörtsell does so with a skilled and delicate hand. Living and working in Stockholm, the political and economic heart of Sweden, the 31-year-old Mörtsell balances a busy roster of U.S. and European clients who have come to adore the style of her signature pencil drawings. She has also begun exhibiting her work in gallery shows. Currently, she has an exhibition of original illustrations on display at Eskilstuna Konstmuseum, a museum located in a small town outside of Stockholm. And while Mörtsell hopes to focus her attention in the future on more gallery work, at the moment she has her hands full with projects for magazines like Nylon, Flaunt, and Good, among others. We took some time to talk with Jenny recently, here's how our conversation played out.
