TEGN Trilogy by Even Amundsen

 

366 days, 366 sketches telling 366 stories, some smaller, some greater. Shared with the community, first online, and now as a series of beautiful books: TEGN by Even Mehl Amundsen tells the story that started as a doodle on the first day of the year: "draw something today, and the next day and the next" and soon the doodles took on a life of their own, summoning up grand adventures and ideas for a world emerging slowly from the mists of imagination.

Spiridon is just the right mix of passionate and professional. You know that once he puts his mind and time behind a project he has sussed out it’s qualities and knows how best to feature them, and that he has the discipline and skills to see it through.

Whenever people would ask Even how he got started he would joke about me threatening him to either make a book or face the consequences. He really was just about making it a PDF and giving it away. Yeah well, I very much pushed him in a different direction, which literally Kickstarted my career in the artbook world. TEGN was a major success, especially for a first-timer, of which I am not surprised with this quality of work. It was tough to match this in the production value of the book, but ultimately it turned out great and I am still looking at it when I am thinking of finding a special something for a new project. The things I hid in there aren’t immediately visible and of course I would change a lot by now. But still, TEGN holds a special place in my heart.
