I haven't seen the story yet, so I can't be sure it's the same story, but  
I'm guessing the answer to your question is Norway's very own Arild  
Midthun. I know for sure that his first story is written by Vainiomaki,  
and it will be published in Scandinavia next week, so it's not very  
unlikely it's the same story.

This is Arild's first Disney story, although he has been drawing almost  
all the covers for the Scandinavian weeklies for the last nine months. His  
line is clearly inspired by French-Belgian masters like Uderzo and  
Franquin, and most comic readers in Norway knows his style, as he's one of  
the best comicbook artists we have, and he's drawn practically everything  
 from funny newspaper strips to historical biographies.

For comparition, a fandrawing Arild has made of Donald can be seen on the  
bottom of this article:
