Janne Harju is a very experienced, skillful, talented and skilled Finnish illustrator, whose work has been featured in various popular Finnish magazines, books and advertising posts for over 10 years.
It is usually believed that illustrated drawings are created for children's fairy tales for visual accompaniment and to facilitate the perception of the text by a child, but it is worth noting that high-quality illustrations will be of interest not only to young people, but also to quite adults. It's not for nothing that illustrations appear more and more often even in the most popular magazines. They recreate an emotional plot atmosphere, help readers to look at some problems and questions with humor and sarcasm, and also make it easier to perceive the proposed information.
Professional illustrator Janne Harju has a wide range of topics: he also draws covers for books and CDs, creates illustrations for children's fairy tales, and does visual accompaniment for articles in women's magazines and health magazines. Distinctive features of his works are the rich use of colors, the severity of the lines in the construction of the composition. In the works of the Finnish artist, you will find mysterious humor combined with great ideas.
The previous illustration on the economic downturn was done for the consumer magazine Asukas by a housing company. The author used the technique of blurred borders to create the effect of dizziness, movement and fall.
The food illustration is very instructive, especially for children. Many could see her in the health magazine Terveydeksi. The artist visually tells us that food deteriorates very quickly in summer and therefore you need to be careful and take care of your life.
Drawings on the theme of alcohol and its influence on our life and health. This is a story that alcoholic beverages destroy and disfigure not only the personality, but also the appearance. Alcohol makes us aggressive.
This vivid sketch by the author was made especially for the women's magazine Anna. It is a visual accompaniment to the material, which tells that it's time to moderate your work rhythm, just pause, pay attention to yourself, relax and not take all the little things to heart.
Janne Harju has always been interested in drawing mythological characters in unusual contexts. For example, the illustrator saw a new vision of Hermes, a messenger god, patron saint of travelers and a peddler of information, in such an unusual image in flying boots.
Another illustration for the women's magazine Anna on the theme of remorse and pangs of conscience.
Janne Harju has created a small shop where anyone can order a T-shirt with the artist's illustrations. The collection is still small, but the author is working on it. And if someone has a desire to get hold of such a thing with an illustration of a Finnish artist, you can order it here on this site.
