Janne Harju

My exhibition, Janne Harjun kootuimmat kuvitukset [Most Collected Illustrations of Janne Harju] opens today, 15.3. at Kuvittaja-galleria [Gallery of Finnish Illustrators].
Welcome!

As I wrote in a previous post I was commissioned to design this year’s easter stamp for Finnish post. It is released today, as a sheet of 12 stamps, with First Day Cover and cancellation.

First Day Cover was originally an alternative sketch for a stamp. With some tweaks it made a perfect companion for a stamp and cancellation.

Here’s also two other sketches I made for a stamp.

Finnish Post just announced stamps of year 2012, and this one was there too: Easter stamp, illustrated and designed by me.

Here’s a set of short tv-ad-animations I made for Finnish Post, about redirecting mail for summer holiday.

Set of three We have moved -postcards for Finnish Post. They give these free for people who have moved so they can tell everyone their new address.

I did this one for an ad of a bakery. For some reason it was never published (as far as I know). I think it’s very good anyway.

Illustration for a Helsinki Book Fair -magazine. Story is about how authors are treated like strange creatures in a circus sideshow.
