Dear Dina Patreons and friends.
We are so happy to announce that the Kickstarter for our documentary film about
Dina reached its goal today!
It is simply amazing that so many people have supported us. Through this
crowdfunding we will be able to continue the work of getting the film fully funded.
We will now develop the script, edit and shoot new footage, and apply for funding from
the Norwegian Film Institute, international film funding schemes and more.
With 17 days left in the project, we are excited to see where we end up. Thank you
again for your amazing support!
And keep an eye out, a new video is published on friday!

Hello everyone, in case you missed it I did post a vlog on Friday and 80% of it is me drawing the curious Badgercat! My vlogs aren't just vlogs nowadays a lot of it is process and "draw with me" style segments. If you're just interested in some of it there are timestamps and chapters so you can easily find it <3 Thank you for watching! watch video on watch page

I can't believe I haven't posted a video in so long! It's a very weird feeling... But now Snow Cat has been sent off to print, I'm dealing with all the extra small things here and there and I will be planning a new video hopefully for next week! I want to spend more time on my videos so I'm excited to start scripting a bit more than what I usually do. Anyhow, the reason I'm posting here today is to let you see the Patreon Magic Cat package for January! If you want the limited edition postcard, 2 adorable stickers and the creature card sign up here: www.patreon.com/dinanorlund before the 31st of January. If you want to see the hours of footage from the live streams where I drew them head over to Twitch: www.twitch.tv/dinanorlund I'll see you soon!

Hello everyone! Just a small announcement: Iāve decided to take the next two Fridays off from making videos! Iāve been needing a break for a while and after finishing all 124 pages of the Snow Cat Prince (omg yay) I burned myself out and couldnāt pre-make a few before visiting family. But I think it was just a sign to take it easy and Iāll be back and rested in January for new cool projects ā¤ļø Also since there wonāt be a Patreon postcard video here is the December Magic Cat package for my Patreons! Sign up before December 31st to receive the exclusive limited edition silver foiled print, two cute stickers and the creature card (info on card currently in procures š
) patreon.com/dinanorlund
Hope you are all ok with me taking a little holiday break! Thank you for all your amazing support and have a lovely festive season š„°
Lots of love from me!

My name is Dina Norlund and I am an illustrator and character designer from Norway. Most of my career has been focused on design, so when I illustrate I apply what I know of designing and problem solving that I learned as a concept artist. I'm inspired by nature, magic and kids' imagination. I often draw on stories from my own childhood memories when creating my projects and books.
I work primarily in Procreate on an iPad Pro 12.9ā (2020) with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil. But I also enjoy experimenting with pencil, pen and watercolor.
