For my main interest in those years really was animation, and I learned the fundamentals of the craft by experimenting in my own home in front of a super-8 movie camera. And then, a few years hence, I was welcomed to join a small animation company in Oslo, Studio Magica. This was an opportunity for me to start designing for animation projects, and to learn the craft of animation more thoroughly. Eventually I scripted, designed, directed and animated a short film of my own - "Sausage" - which has turned out to be my sole venture of this kind. - But I´m proud to record that it has been widely televised, and that it brought me invitations to several animation festivals on three continents.

Which ultimately has resulted in a steadily expanding number of images inspired by old folk tales and more recent fantasies.
