Hans Jenssen is a UK based technical illustrator with over 20 years experience. Specializing in cutaway illustration, he has shown the insides of machines, buildings and vehicles ranging from a cutting edge energy saving home to ships and locations from all six Star Wars™ movies.
The combination of artistic flair with a lifelong passion for engineering and how things work has produced a body of work in publishing and advertising which includes many books, magazine articles and advertisements for clients which include Dorling Kindersley, Usborne, P&O Ferries, Lucasfilm, DDB, Untied Technologies Corporation, the Canadian Government and many others.
Since the mid 1990's Hans has worked closely with illustrator Richard Chasemore. Their styles are very similar and talents complimentary, and together they have completed many projects in half the time it would have taken a single illustrator, including a score of books for Dorling Kindersley and recently the award winning advertising campaign for the United Technologies Corporation.

From the day the phone rang in 1997 until he completed the final artwork in the saga was over nine years of hard work for Hans and Richard who co-illustrated all the Star Wars books.
