Michael Bo Jensen
Denmark, 1981
Independent artist and illustrator working from a studio in central Copenhagen.
Michael works with mixed media in any scale, from analog and digital illustration to printmaking, painting and murals.
Growing up in the mid-nineties on the country side, inspired by street culture, skateboarding and graffiti, as well as everyday moments, nature and society. The style is young, bold and yet timeless, often imbued with mystery and embedded playfulness, a captivating universe with beautiful line work and alluring imagery.
Michael collaborated with a multitude of established agencies, brands, and institutions. Recently created martitime illustrations for “The Dream Ship”, at M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark, which was nominated for a Danish Design Award 2020 in the category Better Learning. He exhibited work in Denmark, Sweden and Costa Rica.
