Clara Jetsmark - cartoonist, illustrator and teacher based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Fond of open sky, music, dancing and the magic of storytelling.
My work range between journalistic commission illustration, comics for graphic science and 2d animation work, to more personal poetic art comics, absurd comedies and magic-realistic tales - like My Dead Mother, published by Uncivilized Books.
I’m open to all kinds of challenges in visual storytelling and always keen on new collaborations, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have a project in mind.
