ALICE LIMA DE FARIA
Alice Lima de Faria is an illustrator and scenographer. She is currently working on a picture book for children called 'Det var ikke jeg, sa Robinhund" (It wasn't me, said Robinhund). She is responsible for text and images and the book will be published in Norway in the autumn 2015 by Cappellen Damm and by the publishing house Natur och Kultur in Sweden. The book is about Robinhund, a dog who gets lost in the big world without his brother. It is suitable for children aged 4-7, and for children who feel that they do not 'fit in'. The illustration technique in this book is a mixture of drawing and paper collage.
- When I work with the illustrations, I think exactly as if it were a scenography. I try to expand the story in the pictures by allowing all elements, such as technique choices, structures, characters, colors and rhythm, to be involved and tell the story.
Alice Lima de Faria is educated at Danmarks Design Skole and has a Master's from Högskolan för Design och Konsthantverk at Gothenburg University. As a scenographer, she has worked with theatre, short films and feature films, among other things. She has an extensive production of editorial book cover and picture book illustrations and she has won gold in Visuelt and Årets vakreste bok. This autumn, Lima de Faria debuts with a self-written picture book: "Det var ikke jeg, sa Robinhund" (It wasn't me, said Robinhund).

MARIANNE GRETTEBERG ENGEDAL AND ØYVIND RUSTAD JOHANSEN
"Sagnet om spydmorderen" (The Legend of the Spear Killer)
- For most people, Spydmorderen is an unknown guy, so we want to make a short animated film to show who he is and how he operates in the Norwegian mountains. The film should be around 5 minutes long, drawn by hand and digitally animated. The week we are in Tegnerforbundet we will work with both drawing and animation.

Marianne Gretteberg Engedal (b.1986) is from Haugastøl. She is a illustrator graduated from NKF and The Art Academy in Bergen. She works freelance as an illustrator and animator in addition to running a cafe.

FREDRIK RYSJEDAL
For many people, cartoons on screen are probably something unknown. But we actually have a digital tradition that stretches back to the 80s, when the first computer game was created, as well as an analog tradition that stretches all the way back to 1658, with Laterna Magica. Picture stories for the screen have taken many forms over the years. Today, you can read web series online, and you can download series to your tablet from online stores. What you will discover when you enter the world of digital comics is that they exist in many different formats, and this is what fascinates Fredrik Rysjedal.
Fredrik Rysjedal (b.1980), is an illustrator and cartoonist from Leirvik in Sogn. He currently works as a research fellow at The Art Academy in Bergen, where he works with artistic development work in the field of screen-based cartoons. The goal of the scholarship is to increase professional understanding of the digital comic and learn to use it on the current premises that the screen provides. The focus of the project has been the meeting point between still image and film, and that is what he will work on in Tegneforbundet's project "Illustrator in residence".
