Finnish born, now London based artist Klaus Haapaniemi got interested in illustration after seeing some well-designed Russian animations on TV when he was only 8 years old. After graduating from Lahti Design-Institute, Klaus lived in Italy where he worked as a key-print designer for Diesel and Diesel Stylelab. Klaus Haapaniemi's long list of commercial clients include print collections for Clements Ribeiro, Cacharel, Marimekko and Levis, plus store identity for Selfridges, an ever expanding range of his own published books and wall tapestry collection. The list is endless. Not bad for a guy who says that he hasn’t made much professional progress since he was ten.
