Ewert Karlsson (1918–2004), signature EWK, was a Swedish artist and political cartoonist. He drew for Aftonbladet and Land among others.[1]
He illustrated Runer Jonsson's books about Vicke Viking.[2]
In 1979 the EWK was declared Cartoonist of the year of The Sixteenth International Salon of Cartoons of Montréal. Attached to the general international Catalog[3] as a tribute to the winning Artist, a personal anthological volume of his own is produced, limited to one thousand copies, by the city of Montréal and it is distributed to all the participating artists of the world[4]
He was awarded the Illis quorum in both 1988 and 1993.[5]
A museum about EWK and his drawings is located within the Museum of Work in Norrköping, Sweden.[6][7]
