Siggi Eggertsson

"Hi. My name is Siggi Eggertsson. I'm an illustrator from Iceland that lives in London. I like to draw portraits, animals and landscapes. But I also draw other things. I like to make typefaces and I do a bit of graphic design as well.
I was born in Akureyri, a small town on the north coast of Iceland, in 1984. My mother, who is an artist, raised me. My life was pretty normal; I played with Lego cubes, drew Turtles characters, played basketball and went to school. I was quite young when I got interested in Graphic Design, must have been around 14 or 15 years old. I started to fool around in design programs, making posters for jazz concerts and art exhibitions.
When I was 18 years old I was getting bored living in the small town, so I applied for the Graphic Design department of the Iceland Academy of the Arts in Reykjavík, and got in, so I moved to the capital city. After the first year of school I started to work for my typography teacher, Atli Hilmarsson."
