Site Redesign

As you may have noticed, the site redesign is underway. Aimed at making navigation easier in a wider format suited to today's typical monitor sizes. The drawing in the header is by acclaimed Danish illustrator Kristian Eskild Jensen, who works in Copenhagen. He took a degree in Visual Communication in Maidstone, UK in 1999. He has since worked as an illustrator and a graphic designer within different fields, such as advertising, book illustration, motiongraphics, on-air design, logo/identity, skateboards, comics etc. He founded the company Tombola with two friends in 2008 where he is currently working.
