My name is Johanna Öst. I'm 24 years old and a resident of Sweden.
I draw in pencil and ink, and paint mainly in watercolours. My paintings are often inspired by mythology, fairytales, folklore, horror, dreams, the 18th century and fashion.
This portfolio is for selected pieces and previous work. Visit my online gallery for more of my art.
Please contact me to commission illustrations for magazines, books, brochures, CD covers and other things. I can deliver digitally.
