Strannberg by SANY

5" x 7" Paper, Ink, Irreverence NORWAY You may recall our earlier SANY books with their crass, sass humor and an illustrative style of days gone by? "Strannberg – The Chauvinist Manifesto" is the preliminary complete collection of the cartoons Strannberg, which is published in the Norwegian literature newspaper BLA – Bokvennen Litterær Avis (the book contains all the cartoons in the period 2016–2024). In the series, we follow the self-absorbed author Strannberg (and his agent Don Ravioli), who travel through the thick and thin of Norwegian cultural life – populated by snobbish cultural elites, socialites, critics, writers, philosophers, and the occasional visit from Karl Ove Knausgård. Samuel Nyholm (*1973, Lund) is a Swedish illustrator living in Stockholm, Sweden and Bremen, Germany. He works under the pseudonym SANY, and is a professor of illustration at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen, initiator of The Northern Drawing School, and co-founder of the design department at the University of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.
