Rufus – The Sea Serpent Who Couldn’t Swim is an upcoming Norwegian feature animation based on the Ruffen books by Tor Åge Bringsværd and illustrator Thore Hansen.

Produced by Maipo Film and co-produced by NeXtFrames, and set for release in Norway in fall 2025.

As a character designer on the project, I worked closely with director Endre Skandfer, and producers Camilla Fossen and Cornelia Boysen. Primarily remote, but with also with two on-site workshops.

I look forward to sharing my work publically in the time to come. Contact me if you wish to see some samples.
