Åge
Peterson
Åge is an illustrator based in Bergen, Norway. His academic qualifications include an MA in visual communication from Bergen Academy of Art and Design (KMD).
Experiences from his past practice as a graphic designer have coloured some of his formal approaches in illustration, in ways of using grid systems to create an organised playfulness of details and compositions within a given format.
He specialises in editorial illustration and loves the process of creating conceptual visual perspectives based on text.
Åge has received several awards for his illustrations. His current clients are mostly journals and magazines, including Monocle Magazine.
He believes in inspiration-diversity, getting his favourite fuel from movies, music, comics, paintings, photography, design, natural sciences, artist biographies and everyday observations.
