Illustration studio · Stockholm

Editorial illustration with messy ink.

North Room Press is the studio of illustrator Lina Bergström, drawing for magazines, children's books and packaging clients who want warmth without clip-art vibes. Commissions include pencil roughs, color studies, revision rounds with art directors and layered PSD or Procreate files with clear print separations, font licensing notes and a short Loom walkthrough so printers know which layer to trap and which to keep live. Rush fees are quoted up front when your issue closes early.

How North Room Press helps

Commissions start with brief reviews, reference boards and a written delivery spec your art director can challenge. We document layers, separations and revisions so files survive printer changes and still match the comp six months later.
