Øyvind Torseter has qualifications in illustration and graphic design from universities in Norway and from Kent institute of Art and Design in England. Since 1998 he lives and works in Oslo. He is the creator of many award winning picture books, collaborations with authors as well as own projects. Artist book, picture book or cartoon – he explores any genre. The pictures are created using both traditional and digital picture techniques, always with a focus on the interplay of lines and drawing. In his books he is also involved in the design process. The pictures for a series of books produced in collaboration with author Tore Renberg are created as three-dimensional paper clips. Scenes are built, photographed and then digitally manipulated.
