About Vendela

Hello! ¡Hola! Hej!

I am Vendela Vrensk, a Swedish kid lit and editorial illustrator. I’ve lived in Barcelona for almost ten years, but recently moved to Gijón in northen Spain. I am setting up my studio here while trying out the fantastic food and cider, taking walks in nature with the kids or looking for my lovely umbrella. It rains quite a bit here!

I want to make the world a prettier, more magical and just place, one illustration at a time! Representation and feminism lie close to my heart.

Another one of my favourite things is character design, catching emotions and relations in pixels and ink. I always try to tell a story when I draw.

Last year I published my first children’s book, the Catalan tale La iaia velleta i el suquet de peix de la Barceloneta, written by Ana Ayala and published by Editorial La Garba. It has been a very rewarding experience <3.

I am currently seeking representation.

My clients include:

RFSU, Barceloneta Proa a la Mar, Editorial La Garba, Sequra, Unifem, Dorisfilm, Film&TV, Sex og politikk and Rubrik.

I am on the lookout for interesting projects. Wanna work together? I look forward to hearing from you at: vendela@vendelavrensk.com , or use the form below.

See you! ¡Hasta pronto! Hej sålänge!
