Dear Patrons,
I always feel like this time of the year flies by so fast. To think, next month's blog update will be the year's last. Recapping this past month is difficult, because it has mostly just been a matter of keeping my head overwater, juggling the responsibilities of these two very different production, and try...

Dear Patrons,
September was a crazy busy month, as expected.
I was animation supervising on a new TV-series project, and at the same time still animation supervising on the short film I've been on for most of the year. It had it's final-final deadline last Monday, and just 7 days before that the clean-up stu...

And happy birthday to myself, I made it very easy to remember the date, that's for sure!
Now, I've lost a bit track of how much of previous versions of Flickering Lights I've shared with you, but as far as I recall, I haven't shared a full old episode version be...

Dear Patrons,
Another month has passed! It's been some bust days at the office, and it seems to only be getting busier here in September. Somehow that's always how September ends up, it seems. But at least I'm not moving on top of it all this year, eh?

Dear Patrons,
No ties this month! Well - except between second place. It's been a while since I shared anything animated, and it looks like you've missed it.

Well, you SOMEHOW went and did it again. This month's poll ended in another tie -- but as mentioned in the last post, I can't keep giving you double content because of that, so I went and flipped a coin. Elva ended up coming out on ...

As promised, here's comes the second part of this month's TV series development sneak peeks. Now, you voted for 'location explorations', but I gotta give a few caveats: one, I refrain from putting in anything that would be a proper spoiler. Two, I'm not going to give you any context for the pictures, I'll just leave you to sp...

Dear Patrons,
Well, you've went and done it! The poll for this month's TV-series development preview ended in a tie, and I guess that means I'll just have to cover both location explorations AND Zale's new design this month. I...

It's that time again! Ready for another update?
CHANGES TO THE PATREON PAGE:
So I finally took some time to sit down and have a look at the Patreon page. It was about time, since one of the tier rewards still listed "name in Flickering Lights credits" as o...

Dear Patrons,
Greetings from the months-long "training montage" that I am currently undergoing. Things are still super busy with the supervising job, and it hasn't allowed for much head-space to work on personal projects as usual. But it should only last until June-ish, so right now I'm trying to take it in stride and l...

Dear Patrons,
I'm happy to report that this month has been a lot more stable and ordinary than the last! Given the rollercoaster ride that was January, that is much appreciated. Still, there's been a lot of busywork, so there isn't much visual stuff to show off in this particular post. Though, there are some updates to ...

Dear Patrons,
As I'm writing this, I'm sitting with a bowl of Udon soup in front of me. Somehow noodle soup has become a customary celebratory meal on my end. There's a lot to be happy about, but it also was quite the trip to get here, so let's jump right into it.

Dear Patrons,
2022 was a big year, so I thought it'd be only right to collect the highlights in one big mega-post. Enjoy!

Of course, the BIG highlight this year was that 'Tales of Zale - Flickering Lights' finally released. After 3 years of producti...

Dear Patrons,
It's a little early for the monthly update - we're not even into January yet! But I thought it'd be a good time, since I wanted to share the music video we've just released, and tell you a bit about how the pitch went.
Of course, it's been a short while since the last update, and on top of that there...

Dear Patrons,
Another month, another update! And although Flickering Light's release is now well behind us, it's not as thought there aren't news to share!
TALES OF ZALE - FLICKERING LIGHTS
Greetings from the Oslo airport!
Ok, we all know that 'Tales of Zale - Flickering Lights' isn't just made to be enjoyed by children. But that's the category the film contended in for Fredrikstad Animation Festival, and that's the category it ended up winning! Going from not even having considered entering festivals to...
Dear Patrons,
I want to get back into doing monthly round-ups, so I won't be speaking too much about what I've been up to in October just yet. But basically, the reason it has taken me a while to get around to this update, is that I took on a very time-intensive job right as the month began (and I've had some major inte...

Dear Patrons,
Wauv it's been a hectic month! I'm still working on putting together a bit of a summary and update, but writing has been difficult, and attention split between that and making the final report to the fund that supported the exhibition+art book. I also ended up taking on some very time sensitive freelance w...
