163. Per Grunditz

Another amazing mermaid, by Per, a student at the school. You can find his blog here

162. Nina Thorgeirsdottir

Nina drew this amazing mermaid at sörängen, where she teaches. A colorful mermaid with golden hair.. and the colors are so soft. She taught us about symbols in art, their history. "Good luck in life little mermaid" she wrote to me.   

161. Stina Brodén

A cool mermaid by Stina Brodén, alike her other mermaids (very colorful) drawn before this one. I met her at an exhibition at Grand Hotel, Kristianstad, while meeting Alexandra. Here's her website

159. Barbro Pakiam Eliason

A pretty mermaid on her throne! By Barbro who visted us at Sörängen 2009 and showed us her book "Drottningen och kärleken". Here's her website Lux Magenta

156. Bernt Törner

Bernt, a teacher at school, used both pages to draw this cool mermaid! He's a cheramist as well

135. Henrik Lange

Henrik Lange wrote "80 romaner för dig som har bråttom" where he would sum up a classic novel on only one page. Really funny reading.

A sweating merman with a tie and shirt.

133. Martin Kellerman

Martin Kellerman, the cartoonist of "Rocky" drew his maincharacter as a mer-dog! In peace & quiet combing the hair that isn't there. Adorable.

131. Ola Skogäng

Ola Skogäng writes about a bear, Theo, that solves occult mysteries, and I found his comic in Nemi, and later I found him in the bok fair! He drew a cool skeleton mermaid, a bit occult like his comics.              

Clips: (both Jimmy and Ola has drawn a mermaid!)

128. Carina Kågström

Carina Kågström, illustrator and artist that likes to exaggerate and distort, mix serious things with humour, and she mostly draws humans and the ordinary things in life. I love the curly hair of the mermaid, and how the picture almost tricks the eye, with a third arm?

122. Liv Strömquist

Liv Strömquist, author of "Einsteins fru" and "Drift". Behind the booth of Galago, next to Sara Granér, she drew a female sailor, with the symbol of the woman and venus on her hat, and with a pipe in her hand, to everyone when she signed her books. When I came along, she added a mermaid's tail! :)

121. Sara Granér

Sara Granér, the author of "Det är bara lite Aids" drew this cool mermaid in her amazing abstract style, that looks a bit like a cat. You can find more of her art here

120. Malin Biller

This mermaid made me laugh! I love the way she breaks the pattern of the beautiful, vain mermaid with long wavy hair.. and instead we got this big lady, with a small chest and tired eyes. Gotta love it! Why can't a mermaid look like this? "Ugly" vs beautiful. This proves you can draw a mermaid.. anyway you like! No limits. This cool mermaid is drawn by Malin Biller and you can find her website here.

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.

112. Jonas Darnell

Jonas Darnell also drew his comic character, Herman Hedning, as a mermaid!

Clips: (Both Jonas and Max has drawn)

111. Jens Ahlbom

Jens Ahlbom drew his character Mulle Meck as a mermaid, ready to dive in! Book fair 2008.

Nr. 98 Anna-Kajsa Alaoui Sosse

A trip to Byxelkrok in Öland where my grandmother (on my father's side) had a house by the sea. 2008 I decided to visit every atelier I could find, along with the mermaid book.

This beauty, a mermaid feeling the winds of freedom through her hair, is made by Anna-Kajsa Alaoui. She paints beautifully, mostly abstract and emotional
