Hi there, and welcome to my portfolio site!
During my years as a professional pen & pencil wielder, which took off in 1999, I have done most things an illustrator with a passion for comics and cartoons does.
My sequential illustration work has mainly been made for the Icelandic market, though I have lived in Holland and the UK for most of my career. The first 7 years I focused almost solely on comic making and illustration work for newspapers and magazines. However, since 2007, I have also worked for educational publishers and followed my passion for teaching by offering workshops in comic and cartoon making to libraries and all levels of education.
Feeling that I had reached a stagnation point, I took a break from freelance work in 2014 and embarked on a MA Future Design study at Teesside University, and then straight after took on a lecturer role in Concept Art at the School of Computing within the same university in the academic year 2016-2017.
These years of MA study and lecturer role resulted in me being offered the role of a Chief Creative Officer at NARC ltd in Malta, where I put my world-building passion to good use towards the development of a MMO computer game with a great team of fellow creatives for good 6 years (2018-2024)
As I write this in September 2025 I'm just finding my way out of a year long battle with a rather bothersome long-COVID and slowly finding my way back to freelance illustration work.
