Martin "Mander" Ander (born 6 April 1976) is a Swedish graphic designer, illustrator and artist known for his work in the skateboard and music industry.
His mother was a journalist, while his father was a graphic designer and art director at an advertising agency.
[3] For a period from 1991 on, he participated actively in the Stockholm graffiti scene, but realized soon after that "[he] was never going to be a hard core train writer or bomber, so [he] stuck to just being in the culture, sketching, painting walls, partying, and hanging out with other writers".
[2] The Stockholm-based community around skateboarding, music, and graffiti influenced his work and became the basis for his later success.
"[2] When Martin Ander came back to Stockholm in the late 1990s after a period of moving between different cities he started to professionalize his graphic design work.
Since then, he has designed album covers (among others for Fever Ray which made the third place in the Best Art Vinyl award competition 2008[6]), album art (for rapper KRS-ONE[5]), posters (for example for Håkan Hellström[7] and the Netflix series Stranger Things[8]) as well as worked on different product designs, advertising campaigns and signature collaborations with, among others, clothing brand RVCA, watch brand CHPO, and Pabst Blue Ribbon.
