Lawstuff: Companies merging

Teaching book for third grade

I did these watercolor illustrations for the chapter about rhymes. The rhyme is written by danish author Halfdan Rasmussen, and was a lot of fun illustrating. There are such an overload of crazy imagery in his text, so the hard part was to decide what not to illustrate.

Danish is a 'bit' different from english, so here is a translation of the objects I decided to illustrate:

Is på gris = ice rhymes on pig.
And på mand = Duck rhymes on man
Ris på fnis = Rice rhymes on to giggle
Blåt på gråt = Blue rhymes on gray
Nattevind på katteskind = Night wind rhymes on cat fur

Thanks for reading

Law stuff: rules for commercials on tv

for an online history book: "life in a monastery and the struggle for power in Denmark 1131-1157"

I recently completed a bunch of illustrations for an online history book, that focus on the years 1131 to 1157. A chaotic time where the struggle for power, to be the king, made brother turn against brother. In 1157 Valdemar the first became king of Denmark, and since then the country has only been ruled by one king (or queen) at a time, and the rule, that a king inherits the power from his dad, got established.
It was difficult to recreate the monastery of Sorø, 'cause only the church still stands there today.

Viking book spreads

The educational Viking book "Kampen om Vårbygård øllet" is a traditional fact book mixed with a fictional story set in the historical frame. The facts are on the left page of the book and the fictional story, about Helge, the rich farmer, and his foster-brother the blacksmith Svend, is on the right page.
The book was made by Sydvestsjøllands Museum, Sorø, and is intended for 6-8. grade school children. After reading through the book, the 6.-8. grades will come the the viking fortress Trelleborg for a couple of days, and play out the fictional story that I illustrated. Each pupil will be getting a role in the play, and learn how to cook and fight the ways of the Vikings.

Viking book: research trip and character development

I was assigned to do illustrations for a educational book about Vikings and the Viking fortress Trelleborg, thats located just outside Slagelse.
Every summer Trelleborg hosts a Viking camp where people can live out their inner Viking in the historical surroundings. I had an additional trip to Trelleborg later on in the schools fall vacation, so I could check out costumes and how to fight with sword, scissor, axe, danes axe, lance, french lance, and mace.
