Simply stated, Now On View celebrates and showcases the artists of Society6 and their work. Get to know them—and then get lost in their gallery.
Who are you and what do you do? My name is Bodil Jane and I’m an illustrator from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I’ve been working as a freelance illustrator since 2014. I’m spending my days working in my mezzanine studio, a 10 minute bike ride from my home. I love doing illustrations for magazines, homeware products, fashion brands and packaging. I also run a small online shop where I sell prints, accessories and homeware.
Current city: Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Clients: Amazon Fashion, Caran d’Ache, Chronicle Books, Flow Magazine, Frankie Magazine, Lush, Marks & Spencer, Penguin Random House, Playboy, Revlon Professional, The New Yorker, Tommy Hilfiger, UNICEF, Van Gogh Museum
How did you make these? I work with different “mixed media” techniques. Sometimes I use water colors and ink, but I also like working more digitally with Photoshop or Procreate on the iPad. Most of my illustrations are a mix of analogue and digital techniques. I was raised in a very creative family. Finding inspiration and picking colors for an illustration comes very naturally to me.
Why did you make these? Most of these illustrations are made for client projects. I don’t have that much time left to spend on personal work. When I do have time to make something personal, I like to upload it on my Society6 too. I love working with themes like women, feminism, interiors and nature. It makes me very happy when people are interested in purchasing my illustrations to make their homes look more beautiful. I wish I could look into all the homes where my work is hanging up the wall!
What do people typically say about your work? Colorful, empowering, quirky and cute!
