Johnny Dyrander was born and raised above the Arctic circle in northern Sweden and grew up surrounded by reindeer and northern lights. He moved to Stockholm in his early twenties and began studying at various art schools. He has worked as an illustrator since he finished his studies at the University College of Arts, Crafts & Design in Stockholm.

When he's not spending time in his office illustrating, Johnny likes to travel, spend time with his family, or drive down to his house in southern Sweden, pick up a hammer and saw, and pretend to be a carpenter. He builds things in wood with quite mixed results. He is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

"What Dyrander does, he does better than anyone else. . . Johnny Dyrander, you win again. Consider handing this to the screaming toddler on the plane seat next to you."
