He illustrated Runer Jonsson's books about Vicke Viking.[3]

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 [4] 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 [5]

A museum about EWK and his drawings is located within the Museum of Work in Norrköping, Sweden.[6][7]
