Elaborate Watercoloring by Fredrik Söderberg

Fredrik Söderberg is an artist from Stockholm, Sweden who can get really expressive through elaborate watercolor paintings.  He draws much of his inspiration for his work from meditation and religious experiences, and claims that he likes for his work to be esoteric in its interpretation to the viewer.  I for one am going to have to agree that his paintings evoke surreal perspectives in a way that draws you in the more you look at it.

The Art of Peter Bjorn & John: Jonas Torvestig (Stockholm, Sweden)

 Millions of us probably have been exposed to some of the illustrations and artwork of Stockholm-based Jonas Torvestig, particularly from his album art for "Gimme Some" by Peter Bjorn and John.  Jonas Torvestig is adept at executing traditional graphic and typographic works, but he is also a talented illustrator who can pick fun colors and convey original and interesting ideas in a very simple, clear and appealing manner.  Check out photos from the Gimme Some Exhibition in Los Angeles as well as our friend's interview with Peter Bjorn and John on Evil Monito.

Surrealistic Design by Kilian Eng

Just came across the fine works of Kilian Eng while doing my morning rounds of music blog checks.  Kilian Eng is a graphic designer based in Stockholm, Sweden with some real talent for producing futuristic and peculiar visuals.  He's definitely got an old school vibe with his pieces making use of attractive colorways and grainy compositions.
