Recently I was asked to do a Christmas illustration for <a href="https://umraedan.landsbankinn.is/umraedan/samfelagid/er-haegt-ad-greina-jolaandann/" target="_blank">Landsbankinn</a>. It was supposed to capture the spirit of Christmas, the quiet and loud moments just before six o'clock on Christmas Eve. When it comes to Christmas, it's all about being together I think. All that pretty stuff is just a bonus. I had a blast creating it, being in some serious Christmas mood myself. Here's a sneak peek of the process, from sketch to finish. Thank you for the collaboration J&L and Landsbankinn, this was so much fun!</div>

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was very honoured to be trusted with creating the 2017<a href="https://stamps.postur.is/vefverslun/frimerki-2017/656/" target="_blank"> Christmas Stamps for the Iceland Post</a>. Early this year I forced myself into the christmas spirit and made these three illustrations that will finally see the light of day today, November 2nd! I love christmas, so being in the Christmas mood in March wasn't all that difficult. I got the help of the brilliant designer, Jónas Valtýsson at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/studioerlaogjonas/" target="_blank">Studio Erla & Jónas</a> to assist me in the design process. Thank you Jónas!!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I wanted to capture the joy, beauty and excitement of the season through children. I feel like this time of the year is their moment, the magic of the holidays doesn't get any more sincere than through the eyes of children. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also wanted to portrait the holiday tradition of putting shoes on the window sill 13 days before Christmas. In Iceland we have thirteen Yule Lads or Santa Clauses. They arrive in town, one by one till December 24th. Children put their shoes on the window sill and when they wake up in the morning, some little treat will have magically appeared in their shoe, that is, if they have behaved well. On those nights, it can get quite difficult to fall asleep....</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So, here they are, from 1st scan to finished stamps and sheets. Now go write a Christmas card!</div>

This past Wednesday on Iceland's official last day of Winter (yay!), I received <a href="http://www.mbl.is/frettir/innlent/2016/04/20/thrjar_hlutu_barnabokaverdlaun_reykjavikurborgar/" target="_blank">Reykjavík’s Literary Prize </a>for the Best Illustrated Book Published in 2015. It’s an incredible honor, I’m humble and grateful for the acknowledgement my work received. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
I was pleasantly surprised to hear the book I illustrated ,,<i>Ugla & Fóa og maðurinn sem fór í hundana</i>” by Ólafur Haukur Símonarson was the one receiving the award this year. It was nominated amongst four other beautiful books that deserved the title just as well. Although I’m not much of a dog-person, I really enjoyed getting to know and illustrate the two poodles, <i>Ugla & Fóa</i>. I did not contribute to the design of the book or the cover, and must admit I’m not a huge fan of how either turned out (but that’s another story). But every project is something to learn from and I’m very grateful that the award committee spotted my two poodles :)</div>

Seeing peoples reaction to your work, to that something you created with a simple pencil at your desk, from some idea in your head is so rewarding. Sometimes you feel like your stuff is total rubbish, sometimes you feel like it’s actually quite good, sometimes you feel like you must be at least a little bit insane to have chosen this career. But sometimes someone says “hey, you’re doing the right thing” and then it all comes together. The knowing you are where you should be. And I’m not just saying that awards make you feel like that. It has everything to do with the support you get from the people around you <i>and </i>the feeling you get from creating the work. </div>

The third and last book in the trilogy about <a href="https://www.facebook.com/M%C3%B3i-hrekkjusv%C3%ADn-319831618158517/" target="_blank">Mói Hrekkjusvín</a> by <a href="https://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krist%C3%ADn_Helga_Gunnarsd%C3%B3ttir" target="_blank">Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir</a> just came out! It's been a pleasure to illustrate and get to know this character and his friends. He's priceless really, <i>and</i> such a pain! Salute to his parents for bearing with his constant pranks. But people like Mói make life more fun and unpredictable, I mean, what's the fun about having peace and quiet all the time? </div>

Here are a few interior illustrations from Mói Hrekkjusvín - Landsmót Hrekkjusvína. </div>

It's been quiet here lately! But that's all gonna change now. Fall is here with its long shadows, the fresh air, leaves everywhere, crazy wind, heavy clouds and most important of all; routine. I like routine. I like vacation too, but routine is good. So, here I am, back at the drawing table, excited for winter (well, mildly excited to be honest) and ready to draw and draw. Just before I jumped on my lovely vacation in August, I finished illustrating a book by the brilliant author <a href="https://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ger%C3%B0ur_Kristn%C3%BD" target="_blank">Gerður Kristný</a>. I've been a fan of her work for years and to have the opportunity to illustrate her story was a dream! It's a scary story for kids and adults as I'm sure you can imagine from the cover here above. It's called ,,<i>Dúkka</i>", ("<i>Doll</i>" in English). It hits the shelves this fall, so, get it!</div>

I biked and drew and biked and drew some more. And then I jumped on a plane with my gang to Paris and from there to Spain. It was our first long family vacation. So we did a bit of culture and big city strolling in Paris and then we did the lazy ass vacation in Spain where we just ate and jumped in the pool. </div>

Every fall, when I'm back in routine like now, I throw in some photos here on my bog from my summer. Even if it's just for myself to look at once and a while when there's a blizzard outside, just to remember how great it was. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Last week I was honoured by receiving the <i>Winsor & Newton <a href="http://www.akvarellen.org/" target="_blank">Nordic Watercolor Society Award 2015</a>! </i>The association held their annual meeting at the <a href="http://www.norraenahusid.is/" target="_blank">Nordic House</a> in Reykjavík where the award ceremony took place. I'm kind of speech-less by this. It really is wonderful to receive this kind of recognition for your work - it definitely gives me the boost to continue on this roller coaster ride it is to be an artist. My heartfelt gratitude to the Nordiska Akvarells<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">ällskapet board & members. </span></span></div>

Put your heart into it. It's just that simple. </div>

I am grateful to be trusted to be the one illustrating someones words and ideas into pictures for everyone to see. The projects I get can be very different, most of them very enjoyable, but there are those few projects that come up once and a while that feel just 'extra special'. Projects I know are different. It's a privilege to work with people who are passionate and ambitious. And this project is definitely one of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/eitthvadillt" target="_blank">Eitthvað illt á leiðinni er... </a> is a project driven by <a href="https://www.karolinafund.com/profile/view/1389" target="_blank">Markús Már Efraím</a> and his writing workshop with 19 authors at the age of 8 - 10 years old. During that workshop they read and wrote their own ghost- and horror stories. The outcome is something truly amazing - they decided to publish a book and have it illustrated by professional illustrators (including yours truly). It is beautifully printed and designed and full of stories that will for sure give you the chills and might even force you to sleep with the lights on for a while... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The young authors were a part of the project every step of the way. They had their stories edited, they visited the printer, saw the proofs and had a fancy party with flowers and drinks and strawberries when the book came out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's just beautiful,...<i>and</i> scary that's all I can say. Here below you can see my three illustrations from the book and photos from the group visit to the printer and from the fancy party. My congrats to everyone involved!</div>

I've got some terrific news to share with you on this sunny Friday - the day we had the front-row seats to watch the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_March_20,_2015" target="_blank">solar eclipse</a> that was seen so magnificently here way up in the Northern Hemisphere....</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
... I just signed up with a literary agent, Ms. <a href="http://redfoxliterary.com/index.html" target="_blank">Abigail Samoun</a> at <a href="http://redfoxliterary.com/lindaolafsdottir-illustrator.html" target="_blank">Red Fox Literary</a>! I met Abi for the first time a few years ago while I lived in San Francisco. And you know the feeling you sometimes get the first time you meet someone and you just <i>know </i>that you'll stay in contact with that person in the future? No matter where you live? That's just what happened when I met Abi. I just knew it. But I didn't know that some seven years later she'd be my agent. I'm so very honoured to be a part of all the talented foxes, authors & illustrators at Red Fox and I'm thrilled to be working with Abi on my future projects. I'm just very grateful, that's it. </div>

I just got back home from a wonderful, inspiring, stressful & fruitful trip to NYC. If I don't count San Francisco, I'd say it's my favourite city. I was there for a whole week, which is way longer than I normally stay in NY (and probably the reason why I'm still suffering from a jet-lag). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I attended the <a href="https://www.scbwi.org/event-16th-annual-scbwi-winter-conference-in-new-york/schedule/" target="_blank">SCBWI Winter Conference</a> and it was all that I hoped for and more. Brilliant speakers, massive information, fun colleagues and an overall inspiration and encouragement to keep going! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was honoured to be invited to be one of the correspondent illustrators, which basically means that I shared my thoughts, drawings and doodles from the conference. You can see it on the SCBWI Official Blog <a href="http://scbwiconference.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/linda-olafsdottir-conference.html" target="_blank">here</a> and on my official blog here below!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello there! I've been so busy lately planning my upcoming trip to NYC in the beginning of February. I'll be attending the <a href="https://www.scbwi.org/event-16th-annual-scbwi-winter-conference-in-new-york/schedule/" target="_blank">SCBWI Winter Conference</a> as well as having a few meetings with publishers. There are so many things to prepare for this trip, one of those was to update my <a href="http://www.lindaolafsdottir.com/" target="_blank">website</a> (check!) as well as preparing my portfolio, postcards and business cards (almost there). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>But</i> I've just finished two dummy's for stories that I wrote and I'm the most excited about bringing them from the comfort of little Iceland all the way to New York. The little girl here above is one of many characters from one of the stories. And the little boy here below is from the other story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, wish me luck will you? </div>
<br />

I just updated my <a href="http://www.lindaolafsdottir.com/" target="_blank">website</a> with new works! And it was about time, really! So much has happened since the last time I added new works to the site. And this time I added a '<i><a href="http://www.lindaolafsdottir.com/#portfolio" target="_blank">books</a></i>' folder, cause now I have a few books to brag about ;) Check it out here: <a href="http://www.lindaolafsdottir.com/">www.lindaolafsdottir.com</a></div>

My updated website is just one piece in the puzzle in planning and preparing for my upcoming trip to NYC in February where I'll be attending the <a href="https://www.scbwi.org/event-16th-annual-scbwi-winter-conference-in-new-york/schedule/" target="_blank">SCBWI Winter Conference</a> as well as meeting with a few publishers. Very excited and happy to be accompanied to NY by my ever so supporting husband, who has the honour of designing, programing and keeping my website alive. Thank you so much Eggert!!! </div>

Hurray to the joy of putting so much effort into finishing something, and then a few months later to see it out in the world - with your name on it! Kind of like having a baby,....but not really, not even close actually, but pretty awesome anyways! </div>

Two books that I illustrated were published in the same week in November; Töfraflautan, by Mozart, written by Edda Austmann (published by Töfrahurðin) and <a href="http://www.forlagid.is/?p=641960" target="_blank">Mói Hrekkjusvín - Misskilinn snillingur</a>, by the oh so brilliant Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir (published by Forlagið). </div>

Although very different from another, I very much enjoyed illustrating both books. Töfraflautan is a picture book with lots of colorful illustrations and Mói Hrekkjusvín is a young readers book with b&w illustrations of Mói and his friends, one of the funniest group of people I've ever read about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'll post some interior illustrations from the books soon, when I don't have so much to show and tell ;)</div>

The 12 months of 2015 are printed by a Eco labelled Printing company in 250gr sheets of smooth yet sturdy paper (14x23cm/9x5.5"). It can be hung on the wall by the included metal clip, it can stand by itself on a shelve on your kitchen counter, in your office, bedroom, sailboat, wherever you prefer. As the year goes by, month by month, you can cut off the illustration and frame it, use it as a greeting card or frisbee. </div>

Here's my newest painting. It shows the corner of Hafnarstræti & Pósthússtræti and this lovely restaurant called Hornið (in English it would be The Corner). Don't you love the color of that house? I also love this part of town, with all the different architecture and the hidden alleys. </div>

So I'm still trying to face it that summer came and went, probable faster then ever. Might be because of the crappy weather we had. But still, it was lovely, really. Going through the summer photos, I only see smiles. Smiles despite of that weather, cause it was spent with the loveliest people.</div>

A big smile with Sara, my dear friend who came with her family all the way from San Francisco to visit us. The weather didn't stop her from being the only person not wearing long pants the whole time she was here. Probable the only person around with bare legs. But hey, if you've got those legs it's really a no-brainer!</div>

I'm starting this Fall by doing one of my favorite things - painting this city! This is a view of Bankastræti, one of the prettiest streets in Reykjavík. Taking the reference photo from my friends office in Austurstræti, I noticed this awesome wall painting I'd never seen before. But then again, I don't often see this street from that angle, so it was a nice surprise. I'm pretty sure I'll be visiting my friend in Austurstræti more often for photo reference - and for coffee :)</div>

The next book about Mói Hrekkjusvín is coming out soon! It's the second book in the trilogy about Mói, written by Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir, published by Forlagið. I'll share the cover and a few more interior illustrations soon,....but man, that character...I'm not sure if I'd want to live next door to him, ha! But people like that sure make life more interesting,...and fun! He really, truly is just like the title for his next book is, "a misunderstood genius"! </div>

Also coming out this winter is Töfraflautan (The Magic Flute) by W.A. Mozart, published by Töfrahurðin. The day the book comes out, The Icelandic Opera in collaboration with Harpa and Töfrahurðin will perform The Magic Flute in <a href="http://harpa.is/dagskra/tofraflautan-0" target="_blank">Harpa</a> as a special children's opera. Can't wait to see it! I'll share more images from the book later, but for now, here is one interior illustration and the endpapers from the book :) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although it's still August, it feels like summer is aaalmost coming to an end, life's getting back into routine and I catch myself starting to prepare for the winter ahead. And to organize! Late August for me is all about organizing (which consists of cleaning, getting the kids <i>to</i> bed and <i>out of</i> bed at a reasonable hour...and reading cook books). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But Fall also comes with excitement of what's ahead. New projects and challenges. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So when I finally had the time to sit down and write a little post here, I thought I'd reflect on what's been going on this summer and share some new work with you. <i>But.</i>...then I started to browse through the photos and found so many brilliant ones from my yearly hiking trip (Photo credit to Kolfinna Snow). So I thought I'd just share those today. The work stuff can wait.</div>

Hello! Been a while! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I feel like I've been jugglin' about a million different things lately. One of them is illustrating the next book in the series about <a href="http://lindaillustration.blogspot.com/2013/10/new-book-introducing-moi-hrekkjusvin.html" target="_blank">Mói Hrekkjusvín</a>. Again, I'm so enjoying illustrating Mói and his friends. The story is just hysterical! It's coming out this Fall - so stay tuned! In the meantime, here is a little spot from inside the book. Mói's hand can be seen there at the bottom. He's adorable annoying to most everyone he meets.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I've been organising my home studio. One of the perks of freelancing is being able to work from wherever I find a desk basically. Since my son Dagur is out of school for the summer, I decided to work from home instead. And I like that, a lot. The pile of laundry in the hallway I don't like as much...</span></div>

Here they are, my stamp-babies united at last! The Town Festival series is completed with this set of ten stamp sheets. I'm one proud stamp-mama today. </div>

The illustration here below is from the FDC envelope that came with the 2014 series. Each hand represents one of the festivals. I must tell you that I'm especially fond of the hand holding the sign with the year 1932. The reason is my grandpa. He's from the town of Reykjanesbær (originally Keflavík). Every year he attends the town festival called <i>Ljósanótt</i> in Reykjanesbær. They have the great tradition of having the people of the town, from young adults up to the oldest members, carry signs with the year they are born down a street downtown Keflavík. And my grandpa has proudly carried the sign with his year 1932. He's the sweetest, I love him. </div>

Today is a big day, cause today is the release day for the second set of stamps I did for <a href="http://stamps.postur.is/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-364/472_read-2979" target="_blank">The Iceland Post</a>! It's been a long process and purely a <i>joyful</i> process! I've learned so much and I'm really grateful to have been given this opportunity. It was quite the challenge to capture the heart of the festivals onto the tiny little stamps, but I really enjoyed to get to know all the towns a little better. And yet again I had the pleasure of working with the always awesome Helga at <a href="http://soupdesign.net/" target="_blank">SoupDesign </a>who helped me with the design process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For this set of stamps, the Iceland Post decided to also have stamps available for Europe and outside of Europe. <a href="http://www.lindaolafsdottir.com/#portfolio" target="_blank">Here</a> and <a href="http://lindaillustration.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-stamps-for-iceland-post.html" target="_blank">here</a> you can see the first set of the Town Festival Stamps, and <a href="http://stamps.postur.is/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-395/522_view-1243/" target="_blank">here</a> you can purchase the 2014 stamps! </div>
