Archaeological illustrator and reconstructions. Graphics with a heritage and natural heritage focus. Originally based in Ireland now in Finland, work everywhere. Second obsession is dogs.
History isn’t just dates and old buildings—it’s our shared story. As a heritage illustrator & designer, I strive to make the past accessible, relatable, and engaging for everyone.

What’s one historical story or place that has stuck with you? Let’s chat!

Who is behind Sara Nylund Illustration and Graphics?
It's me, who creates illustrations, artefact illustrations, maps, and layouts. My backup, @irishacw.bsky.social will provide support and quality control when needed, and Macha is an integral part in keeping me sane

One of my first reconstructions was published in the publication ”Places for the living, Places for the Dead: Archaeological Discoveries on the N25 New Ross Bypass.”
I am still happy with the image but it is also nice to see my style has evolved #archaeologicalillustration

An interesting project to illustrate. I recommend the article ”A unique example of medieval bound burials in the context of Irish Archaeology”, published in 2024 Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland Journal of Irish Archaeology.

For #NationalIllustrationDay, let me introduce my latest Figurine illustration - the Thor figurine, the Eyrarland Statue. Found in Iceland from around AD 1000, it's interpreted as a Thor figurine, possibly also the centrepiece for a game of hnefatafl.

It's that time of the year again when my Gnomes reappear. This year, in addition to actually having the base cards for sale, I have gotten a couple of requests for customisation. So much fun!
