Illustrations for the Alzheimer Society of Finland
I have made illustrations for a children’s story, a cartoon and an info booklet, and also a sea horse “logo”, commissioned by the Alzheimer Society of Finland. Texts by Heidi Härmä and Sanna Aavaluoma and layout by Mainostoimisto Maustamo (advertising agency). These booklets are meant for young children whose parents have gotten alzheimer in early age. The children’s story (The island of sea horses) was the most sad but beautiful illustration commissions ever.
It was also interesting to find out that hippocampus is a part of our brain plays important part in short- and long-time memory and it’s named after its resemblance to the seahorse (Greek hippos meaning “horse” and kampos meaning “sea monster”) – that’s why the sea horse in these stories.
Colouring pictures
Unique colouring pics drawn to A4 sized Fabriano paper with pigment ink pen. Some pics I made during 2010-2013 are now on sale at the Jyväskylä Art Museum and at Höyry Gallery. Please, email me paivi.hintsanen(a)coloria.net if you are interested – I can check my archives to show you the theme pics you want or just draw a custom made ones for you!
Pattern design and project poster for Hienosäätö
Hienosäätö Ltd ordered a simple pattern design (several colour combinations) from which I made an A2-sized two-sided poster to be used in coaching and training sessions, with a “cover” on the other side and some writing space with assigments on another.
RED – posters and prints!
RED card and posters include the word red in various languages. Behind each card there is a QR code where you can take a peak to ‘language map’, to see in which language each red word is written. QR code is also provided with each poster separately. A small black and white printed ‘language map’ is printed with each order. Also in future you may access to the language file via this kuvituksia.com and via coloria.net sites – so everyone will get to see the ‘language map’, even those without a QR reader.

Illustration process going on…
A2 sized illustration in process, with pigment ink pens on acid free cotton paper. Still some work to do… It has taken me over three months to colour the image (a few hours a day). So, not a very fast process, but a very therapeutical one :)
Logo for Hienosäätö
I designed logo and website for Hienosäätö Coaching – a marketing designing and coaching company.

Missed #twitterartexhibit…
Oops. I signed to take part to #twitterartexhibit charity exhibition which premiered in Los Angeles tonight. I got my five postcards from Hahnemühle and started drawing some pictures well before christmas – but then I got ill and had to let go of the project – I just ran out of time. Not nice – but if this happens again, I will take part, early enough.
