    paper "If You Dare To Dream" - Album Cover Design

    Hvis Du Tør at Drømme / If You Dare to Dream.
    Album cover for the artist Pil, a danish singer and songwriter.
    I got to work in this project during an internship at Orbit Valley, a production studio based in Copenhagen.

    Job title: Visual designer / Graphic Designer at Orbit Valley.
    Project type: Vinyl album cover.
    Medium: 3D modelling / Digital visual design / Graphic Design.

    Other than the graphic assignments such as the labels and the inner sleeve, I was given the task of creating the visual for the cover sleeve. With the one criteria that it had to be done in 3D - which was quite exciting! as well as challenging. We were given some mood boards from the client, and then developed those visual wishes into our own interpretation.

    paper Acts of Slime and Stone

    Acts of Slime and Stone.
    By Nor Bülow

    Job title: Stop Motion consultant and Animator.
    Project type: Stop Motion and Liveaction hybrid short film.
    Medium: Stop Motion animation.

    I was hired by a student at the National Film School of Denmark to come help with their short film for their BA final. I was hired as an animator as well as a Stop Motion consultant. During two intense weeks, I came to animate some scenes for the student, as well as consult on anything Stop Motion related. Other than animating, I also got the task of recreating the face of one other the puppets in clay, and then micro-animating it afterwards. We also worked together on lighting, set design and the setups, cinematography etc.

    paper Acrylic Gouache Illustrations

    Inktober 2025
    Here are some highlights from the Inktober challenge in 2025, where I followed the promplist (yet again) by the lovely artist, illustrator and author Sha’an d’Anthes - also known as Furry Little Peach.

    Project type: Drawing challenge.
    Medium: Acrylic gouache.

    paper "Office Care" - A Short Film.

    Project type: Short Film.
    Medium: Stop Motion animation.

    Empathy visualised through stop motion.

    “Office Care” is a stop-motion short film that tells a story about empathy through a sequence of scenes and explains why it matters. By using stop-motion, miniature set design, and music, the short film conveys these scenes focusing on how empathetic actions unfold and their effects. The characters express emotions through their facial expressions and gestures, promoting the understanding of empathy and inspiring more compassionate interactions in society.
