A spirit of the 80’s

Hi, I’m Kari— an illustrator and artist based in Oslo. I create artwork, illustration, ceramics and graphics. My artwork includes expressive animal characters, emotional storytelling, and a blend of dreamy and sometimes dark aesthetics.

My work often explores themes of inner worlds, transformation, and the quiet emotional lives of creatures. I draw inspiration from my childhood, dreams and familiar feelings.

My services include:

Illustration: Custom illustrations for editorial use, books, posters, album art, and personal commissions. Emotional, character-focused artwork with a dreamy, atmospheric aesthetic.

Concept & Visual Development: Moodboards, creature concepts, visual tone exploration, and narrative-driven design for creative projects.

Merch & Print Design: Artwork for prints, apparel, stationery, and shop-ready merchandise.

Collaborations: Open to creative partnerships with artists, musicians, writers, designers, and storytellers who resonate with my work.
