Törn-Rosa!

I made some Illustrations and a Poster for my friends new play "Törn-Rosa". It is an awesome play for children age 3-7. The play is based on Sleeping Beauty, but instead of letting the theme of love being central, they are exploring themes such as loneliness, alienation, friendship and to do something you later regret.

Here is a text and one of the illustrations!

Film finished and back in Stockholm!

Long time since the last update. But I am still alive! And here is a short summary of what i have been up to:

Film finished + Award!
I finished my graduation film But Milk Is Important that i made togheter with Eirik Grønmo Bjørnsen!
We won an award for best Nordic-Baltic Student Film at Fredrikstad Animation Festival, and now we are sending it around to festivals!

























Pappersvärld
I am back in Stockholm and freelancing. I have worked on some animated commercials and i made a vignette for Fredrikstad Animation Fesitval. At the moment I am helping out at a lovely stop motion short called Pappersvärld (Paperworld) by Jöns Mellgren. The film has a really nice style and it is very fun working with paper.
I have made all the puppets, and some props and sets.
Two days ago we took the first shot and now i am the animator of the project, scary and fun!

















Turning the room into a studio..










































































Tiny birds with paper wings, that I made for the film.



















And least but not last, a little doodle.

Cheers!

This is one of the creatures for my bachelor film. I made it with the technique called felt making and the skeleton was made by Eirik who i am co-working with. See more creatures on our production blog HERE.





Some concept sketches for the creature. The eyes will sometimes be small and black and sometimes bigger and staring, depending on the situation.
