Hello, this is Carl Papworth speaking...

CFP-CarlPapworth

…and in 1987 I was born in Umeå, northern Sweden. Today I’m occupied mostly with graphic design, illustration, text and web. After two years of Foundationary Art School in Umeå I took my bachelor (2011) at  HDK – School of Arts and Crafts in Gothenburg. Since then I’ve had my one man business, freelancing both towards In 2014 I worked half-time at NorrlandsOperan, the opera house in Umeå, producing over 200 graphical objects during the year when Umeå was Capital of Culture in Europe. Besides shapes and colours I like: Malin (my wife); Cooking (food); kendo (sport); Bill & Dag (my children); Video Games (old & new); talkradio (podcasts) and much more.
