Hello!
An illustrated self-portrait icon

I go by Pusemor (she/her) online, and I am an illustrator based in Moss, Norway.I work primarily digitally, and enjoy creating illustrations with a focus on storytelling,
usually resolving around vibrant colours, textures, and animals in fantastical settings.
Mental health, animals, plants, webtoons, are some of my areas of interest at the moment!The best way to keep up with my work is through Instagram,
and you can contact me by email at [email protected]!

About me

Generational Trauma (2024)Through a selection of articles from The Conversation which focus on several significant contemporary issues, the goal was to address the challenges of your chosen article, and convey the message clearly and impactfully. I chose "The Boomer Generation Hit The Economic Jackpot - Young People Will Inherit Their Massive Debts", which focuses on the economic environment in the UK.

Regeneration (2024)This project was done in collaboration with Immersed! Festival 2025 and Music Declares Emergency, where the goal was to create an illustration reflecting the hopes and concerns of young people facing climate change. The theme was Regenerations, so I chose to promote Nordens Ark, a private non-profit foundation that works to give endangered animals a future. They do this through nature conservation, breeding, rearing, research and education.

No Music On a Dead Planet (2025)A re-run of the collaboration with Immersed! Festival 2025 and Music Declares Emergency. The theme remained the same, but the brief changed to produce three key deliverables: A T-shirt design, an exhibition poster through risograph printing, and a zine contribution.

Open Doors Open Minds (2026)This project was a joint publication and exhibition as a collaboration between USW Illustration and Merz Akademie, where the final outcomes were exhibited at the Comic Juju Festival in Stuttgart. For my eight A5 two-colour risograph pages I chose to illustrate my experiences of being an international student.

On Those Days (2026)For my Final Major Project, I aimed to explore narrative illustration through my personal experience with grief and the recent loss of my dog, in order to open up conversations around death and spread awareness about it.

Footer

The ADHD Brain (2024)A socially conscious project, structured after the Creative Conscience Awards, with the goal to conduct thorough research and address the issue effectively through creative skills. Seeing as this was a good opportunity to learn and explore a topic, I chose to go with ADHD because of my own diagnosis with it, and interest. The final illustrations are decorative, and show the two common sides of the disorder.

CWTCH (2025)These are three sticker designs I produced for a Valentine's themed art fair with the theme "Cwtch", which translates to hug or cuddle.

Footer

You Must Not Venture Out On Your Own (2025)This narrative artwork was based off a poem I wrote for a fantasy ARPG group I took part in, featuring fantasy animals in a fantasy setting.

Footer

Saving a Life Will Cange Yours (2025)This was a collaboration with Hope Rescue, who wanted to expand their online and offline presence by spreading the words about their welfare charity around. They are community-focused and work across South Wales to help and rehome vulnerable dogs. I produced a sticker campaign as a way to widen their audiences.

Footer

Elton John (2024The goal of this illustration was to illustrate a portrait of a significant cultural or historical figure that captures a strong visual style, and makes the person easily recognizable while conveying their identity. Famous outfits, stars, and pianos are central aspects to his career which I felt had to be represented.

Footer

Memories (2026)Based off the same concept as On Those Days, this was an addition to my Final Major Project where I wanted to create physical products, stickers in this case, for personal and family use. There are three headshots of my dog, and a fullbody of my brother, who passed away a few years ago.

Footer

One and Only (2024)This illustration is based off a section of text from One and Only by Jeanne Willis, in order to practice planning and developing images in sequence.

Footer

Book Covers (2025)This was a self-directed project where my aim was to produce book covers for three different books; Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter, When The Robbers Came To Cardamom Town by Thorbjørn Egner, and Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

Footer

Cardiff (2026)This project was in collaboration with FOR Cardiff, where the goal was to create a large-scale illustration to express the values, ambitions, and character Cardiff wants to carry forward as it marks 70 years as a capital city.

Footer

Aquarium (2025)This GIF was an experiment to try to create a moving image. I was inspired by a trip I did to Bristol Aquarium for my 20th birthday, and wanted to create something to remember it by.

Home Journey (2025)This is a sequential animation, taking the viewer along with me on my typical journey back to Norway. There are 5 different scenes, with a boil on the characters.

Footer

Musical Experimentation (2025)This was a personal piece I did for an ARPG group, featuring my character jamming out on drums, inspired by the "lizard lizard lizard" meme.
