Amazu raised funds and managed a team of 5 people to produce a demo for the adventure game Shrug Island and a casual platformer called Shrug Tides. Together with the creator, Amazu successfully crowdfunded Shrug Island on Kickstarter. The creator left the company right after and Amazu Media has no relations to the project since March 2014.

I co-created the art magazine directed at the students of the Animation Workshop, showcasing their work and inspiration articles and interview. I was responsible for the layout and design, interviews and printing management. I had the opportunity you interview famous artists in the field, including legendary Danish animator Kaj Pindal, Tim Schafer and Greg Rice from Double Fine studios, and more.

As an artist in residency at The Open Workshop, I further developed my original webcomic idea that I started in college. I made the first 7 chapters (160+ pages) of the first Light Apprentice series, and self-published it using print on demand methods. The webcomic was first published on Drunk Duck (now The Duck) and later republished on Graphic.ly (a comics publishing platform acquired by Blurb in 2014).

Developed intelectual property "Light Apprentice", comic book and animation.

A turn-based, tileboard strategy game featuring the Light Apprentice characters, known from the webcomic. The game consisted of 10 simple levels. I redesigned the characters with a simplified look to be easily adapted to 3D. I managed a team of 8 people to complete the game, published online on lightapprentice.com.

I founded a personal company in Viborg, Denmark, and directed students from The Animation Workshop to develop three short movies with the Light Apprentice webcomic characters. The shorts tell the events of what happened after chapter 7 of the comic.

Zuda Comics was DC Comics' digital imprint, in an era pre-iPhone and iPad, where editors and artists were trying to figure out the role of comics in the impending digital age. Zuda Comics was a platform that ran a monthly contest in which ten series would compete for a spot as a regular series on Zuda. I was lucky enough to win the June 2009 contest, and the series was selected by the audience to run regularly on the website.
