We couldn’t let an Icelandic-themed week pass us by and not tip our hats to the wonderful Siggi Eggertsson. He is born in Iceland and currently living in Berlin. His series of illustrated scenes of Iceland is one of my personal favorites, and I love how he mixes his own unique style with his trademark methodology to create beautiful landscapes that feel like modern Impressionist paintings. Created alongside the agency Jónsson & Le’Macks, the illustrations were created for a campaign in 2011 for the Icelandic bank Landsbankinn. They’re colorful, vibrant and lots of fun – the kind of image every modern bank wants. Last year the illustrations were awarded the Golden Star at the The ADC*E Awards, a prize they most certainly deserved! If you’re new to Siggi’s work then you definitely have to check out his website and let you’re eyeballs melt for a couple of minutes. It’s well worth a visit!
