TRAILER
Eva Lindström
Eva Lindström was born in 1952 and lives in Stockholm. She began her career as a comic artist and cartoonist, has illustrated several other authors' works but is most well-known for her comics. Her comics are often funny and clever as well as having an existential depth. Most have been published by Alfabeta Bokförlag. Eva Lindström has won several prizes and awards, for example, the Elsa Beskow Plaque (1995), Expressen's Heffaklump (2002) and En bok för alla's humour prize (2003).
In 2011 she was the first to be awarded the newly-established comic book prize Snöbollen för Apan och jag and in 2013 she was awarded the August Prize for the illustrations for Ellen Karlsson's Snöret, fågeln och jag, after having been nominated eight times. As the only Swede, she was nominated for the international H.C. Andersen prize in 2014. Eva Lindström is one of the artists and illustrators who has had the greatest influence on the new generation of comic book artists we see emerging in Sweden today.
