On the moon

Standalone artwork in conjunction with False awakening. This piece is a notable turn in my artistic exploration, since it's at that point (2013) that I realized I really enjoy working with recycled material. The canvas for this work is a styrofoam plate from a frozen pizza.

False awakening still frame being exhibited at Galleri Ramfjord, Oslo

You may now view one of my artworks at Galleri Ramfjord, in Oslo. Info at Juvenarte It's exhibit runs from 26-29. september, 2013.

False Awakening is a multimedia project spanning many forms, it started as a childrens book project, then became a graphic novel, then a series of paintings, before taking the direction as an interactive narrative in the form of a video game. It follows a small, doll like character on her adventures to come to terms with various fears. The adventure is heavily centered around dreams and the subconscious, and is being created to cover a multilayered narrative. The exploration of the project is open and experimental.

This is a copy of the artwork being displayed at Galleri Ramfjord. It is edited and canvas printed for the exhibition, but I will not be making any more of this one, leaving it a unique artwork. The canvas print is for sale at 4000 kr. It will be up for sale at the exhibition, but you may email me if you are interested in buying it from me but cannot make the exhibition.

Encounter

I constructed a slightly different scene with elements of my main project, for the purpose of print.

False Awakening initial artwork

Due to the time limit of the initial deadline for my videogame project, I'm going about the creation of assets and other materials somewhat untraditionally. It is more of a freeform art exploration than the strict and sensible concepting I'm used to from formal projects. You know the one: draw a bunch of concept thumbnails  pick the best one, polish. I have to create enough assets to initially have a complete game world, so my first tries are also my final tries, and my accidents are all happy. When the uni project ends, I'm free to revise and recreate anything for the actual making of this game however. I find  this laid back creation process quite liberating and enjoyable. 

Creature concept for False Awakening. This one has the temporary nickname "sharpface"
