chasing rooftops since 2006!
Rooftop Johnny
I'm a Norwegian illustrator making playful, hand-drawn rooftops from cities both real and from my own imagination. My posters and merch are a tribute to urban charm, creativity, and individuality.
Drawn line by line, by me alone ;)

From the beginning
Rooftops on my mind
Rooftop Johnny has its roots in Rome anno MMV. While living there with my brother, enjoying life as students and the comfort of doing "nothing", we spent most of our days on rooftops,- gazing out on the Roman skyline, hanging out and chasing the next rooftop. We profoundly believed that the combination of altitude and be creative with people gives perspective, and today we still believe that. Rooftop Johnny is about not taking things too seriously, being conscious of your surroundings, and above all enjoying yourself.

Sustainability
Everything is made to order. Nothing gets printed or produced until someone has actually bought it. I print the posters myself here in Norway on FSC-certified paper, and the caps are made on demand by Printful. A tight range, no piles of stock and no wasteful overproduction.🌎✨

Quality
Prints and merch made with care for the details: good materials, solid craftsmanship and nothing rushed out the door.💫

Identity
Every piece has a look you’ll recognise straight away: a little rough around the edges, a little playful, always my own. It’s not a generic city skyline. It’s Rooftop Johnny’s version of it, drawn by hand, line by line. 🎨🌈
