Type arbeid: Illustration

My Christmas illustrations are created with a love for the holiday season and everything that goes with it. These works combine traditional colors, playfulness and details, perfect for bringing joy and festive spirit into homes and hearts. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the magic of the holidays, the illustrations capture everything from playful animals in winter forests to cozy Christmas decorations.

My media are gouache, watercolor and digital techniques in Procreate and Illustrator. The illustrations are ideal for Christmas cards, wrapping paper, bags and more, appealing to both young people and adults who love to embrace the mood and coziness of Christmas.

The illustrations are available for sale or licensing.

This delightful illustration is inspired by my son’s 7th birthday, which we celebrated in the forest with a woodland and forest animals theme. The illustration captures his imagination and sense of adventure perfectly. At the table, decorated with glowing string lights and evergreen branches, sits a happy boy with a wide smile, surrounded by his faithful teddy bear, a sweet little rabbit, and a mischievous fish sneaking juice from the teddy. All are ready to celebrate, wearing party hats and enjoying popcorn and delicious cupcakes.

I used watercolor, gouache, and Luminance colored pencils to create a vibrant and colorful illustration that radiates joy and magic. The green tones in the background enhance the forest’s slightly mysterious, fairytale-like atmosphere, while the warm colors of the table and gifts create a lovely contrast and a sense of warmth and coziness. This illustration is a celebration of childlike imagination and the simple joy of celebrating a birthday with good friends, both real and imaginary.

The illustration is available for licensing or full buy-out.

I've had the pleasure of working with Panduro Hobby for a long time, illustrating and designing a selection of their creative journals. These journals, often part of larger series, usually included coordinating stickers, paper, washi tape and pens. The design process usually consisted of everything from the design of the product itself, color schemes and packaging design. These projects are examples of different journals and accessories I have designed for the customer.

I had the pleasure of working with Fjellflyt on a book cover for a planner, inspired by nature and its calming influence. The project, called «Bokfreisting», was an exciting opportunity to combine colorful art with nature.

Fjellflyt wanted a cover that captured the feeling of longing for the mountains. Their specific wishes included a colorful drawing with elements such as mountain flora, and colors that reflect glacier water. I used the colors of mountain heather, goat's rue, dog biscuit, and other fantasy flowers and leaves to create a harmonious and calm illustration.

I used a combination of gouache and watercolor paint on paper, as well as Procreate, to achieve the desired result. After a few conversations and feedback from the client, I fine-tuned the design to make sure it matched their vision. The final book cover was a nice combination of nature's tranquility and energetic colors.

As a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, I was commissioned to create illustrations for Tanum Bookstore’s enamel mugs. This assignment was part of a merchandise collection sold in Tanum’s stores in Oslo as well as at their locations in Norwegian airports.

The aim of the design was to capture the essence of local culture and identity through visual expression. Each illustration includes elements and dialect expressions that highlight the uniqueness of each location, so that each cup served not only as an object of use, but also as a memory of the place it represents.

In addition, a small series of cups was developed and sold at Christmas.

In this project, I had the pleasure of working with Mauds Manufaktur to create a series of unique project bags featuring illustrations based on historical photographs of Queen Maud. Each bag includes imagery of Queen Maud, combined with the text “queen of her own life” and elements inspired by knitting. The illustrations connect her historical significance with the craft and artistry of handcraft.

The illustrations are created using a hand-drawn, artistic approach, with knitting elements seamlessly integrated into the photographs.

The tote bags, available in two sizes, are not only practical for all types of knitting projects and storing craft supplies, but also work beautifully as stylish accessories.
