Line Høstrup Illustration

Thanks to all the great Danish artists who let me borrow their art for the poster. 

I've been working on my graphic novel for 3 months now! I had planned to do more updates in here, but I have been so damn caught up with this, I didn't have time... Until now :) The story will be 72 pages that includes dark humor, the cruelty of life and some super awesome ladies! I'm so excited to share the rest of the story with you guys, but you have to wait a couple of months :) Here are my character designs: Ellen, 31 Y, works a dead-end job, but loves to sing, go long-distance running and to daydream about the future. Her big  dream is to build the perfect home. Motto: Shape your own reality.   Mia: 33 Y, works as a nurse, loves to sing, cook and be around friends and family. She dreams of having a baby. Motto: If I wake up happy and go to bed happy, that's all that matters. House, 100 Y, it's just a fucking ruin...

I made a bunch of fake movie posters with various danish actors for the newspaper Information. I love doing sloppy portraits! Read the story here (danish)  

The newspaper commissioned a parody of an old commercial poster from Wonderful Copenhagen. The drawing is about the  visit from China where danish police was told to keep the demonstration for Tibet out of sight. The whole event is quite embarrassing for Danish Police. Read the story here. 

Here’s another bunch illustrations I have done for Dagbladet Information on my internship. It’s probably too subtle, but I hope you guys can tell that I’m still experimenting with style.

Painful love - Editorial illustration made for Dagbladet Information.

Oh dear... I didn’t expect that... But at least I did this ambiguous election day drawing for todays newspaper. 

The latest one gives you the answer on what to do with existential angst. Read it here! And find the rest here.

I love the style and colors I chose for these two drawings I did at my internship at Dagbladet Information. One is on how WW2 movies might help us deal with more present themes. The other describes the many faces of American Literature (read it here).

Last weeks production for Information.

I’m trying to be a bit more intuitive and spontaneous in me free time drawing. I had a lot of fun doing these with cheap markers, crayons and ink. 

The illustration is for an article about how politicians to the left starts talking like they belonged to the rightwing. Read it here (in danish)

Feminism can be quite sexy ;) Made for Dagbladet Information. 

Happy Monday :)

Danish buses just keep offending people. Read the article here (danish)

An orthodox jew coming on to a straight man in the streets of Brooklyn. The straight man feels both confused, flattered, pity the religious man, but also admire his courage to flirt. Made for Dagbladet Information.
