123. Maia Hirasawa

By pure accident I met Maia Hirasawa on the book fair, not behind a booth, but as a visitor like oneself. I adore her music so I really wanted to talk to her. She drew this cool cheering mermaid. She had some trouble with the chest, what to do with it? I reminded her that seashells works just fine ;)

Watch her performance with The Ark's "the worrying kind" in Melodifestivalen 2008

I watched her live in Tivolirock, Kristianstad, 2009.

117. Adam Blomgren

Adam Blomgren drew a mermaid version of Bamse! He is one of the cartoonists who draw Bamse nowadays. Really cool one. He is also a musician, and you can find his band here.
