I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been doing stuff offline mostly. But I wanted to come on and share my latest illustration. An otter prince. He has named himself Oliver.

I decided I needed a change. Usually when that happens I do something to my hair. But I recently did that, and it wasn’t enough. So I decided I needed to re-paint my home studio. I have now tested 4 greens and 3 yellows and 1 pink. They are all pretty. Colours is so hard!

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, but now I am surrounded by funky art from local artists here in Bergen. That makes everything better. Also a very cute Australian couple came by and bought various pieces. They were lovely to chat with!

I need some suggestions #booksky I have had the misfortune of picking up a lot of books I ended up discarding. The main character is either insecure but heroic or super sexy and heroic with a tragic backstory. I’m rather tired of it. I like mythology-based, crime, fantasy, thrillers and mystery

Continuing the process with these masks. I’ve discovered that one of the ears do not fit. So I will have to make a new one!

Progress is being made! I have all the pieces for the 2 masks plastered now, just waiting for them to cure properly and then attach them to one another. I have used a surprising amount of plaster bandages for these two.

3 years ago, I experienced one of the pinkest sunsets I've ever seen.
The white snow everywhere really made it extra magical as it reflected the light.

This part, when you’ve worked so hard for so long you end up with a long period of nothing is so frustrating. I want to be lost in a project! Yet I can’t seem to find one that I want to delve into. I get ideas, but none of them are tempting. Or tempting enough to do more than loose sketches.

The atelier is moving to a new space so we are packing up all our stuff in preparation for the new space. I found these old linocut prints from the time of Covid. Wanting to reach out to one another and the need for connection.

Two of my black and white photographs. I made the mask and took these photos about 10 years ago. I am in the process of making a new mask for hopefully another series of photographs.

“Storytime” sketched traditionally and painted digitally with a mix of procreate and affinity photo 2. This piece is inspired by a dear friend of mine, and our mutual love for a good book and weird folklore tales.

Thinking about the last linocut series I got to print. It’s a collection of animals from the wild of the Nordic countries that also appear in folklore stories and fairytales.
