Anne Bundgaard's illustrations capture the cuteness and a little bit of the magical weirdness of childhood but also the wonders of the world we live in. They're a bit sweet, a bit mad, a bit strange, a bit curious, magical and a bit eerie at times. Anne Bundgaard is an artist and an illustrator that lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, and I'm very happy to introduce her as this weeks next door Magician.
"I get inspired by stories that move me. Stories from other people. It can be a sentence I hear as a fragment on the street. It can be the great stories like in politics. And lot in between, like movies, books, songs, fashion."
"It also inspires me to think about all the stuff mankind hasn't found out yet. That there is more to it than the big bang. And that the universe is soooo huge.," says Anne that seems to have created her own universe with her work. A universe well worth exploring.
"My motives often seem very light and a bit naive. But they are often inspired by the cruel things in life - such as war or other big disasters, which I think about a lot. And then I try to take it to a higher level by making a funny angel. I know it sounds naive, nevertheless that is what I do. I want to make other people hope and stay good people."

"I love letting it go, when I do my work. Just let my mind flow using my imagination. It is not until later it gets difficult. When I begin to see it as a picture, that also has to be great to look at. Often I don´t have a plan to begin with." Thank you Anne.
