About me:
Josephine (JoJo) Albrektsen is an illustrator and Animation Concept Artist from a small island in northern Norway. Her work is whimsical, nostalgic and fun, with a focus on exploration and interesting textures. She works primarily in children’s book illustration and 2D animation, recently as a lead background artist on “My Friend Fabien” at Lonely Bros Animation. And currently she’s developing her debut graphic novel “The Micro”.
Outside of creating heartfelt stories, she loves hiking, reading, macro photography, traveling and eating black salty licorice.
