Hi, welcome to Voltcase! How are things!?

Hi there, thanks!

All good, very busy though, been very devoted to work on my art lately, and started a music project, so I have had my hands full.

Have just taken up the work on Nyx Models again also, so I have enough to do you might say.

So, how would you describe yourself to a stranger in just three words?

Eccentric, artistic and strong-minded!

Is there anything in particular that sets you apart from all of the other Voltgirl’s we’ve featured in Voltcase over the years?

Hmm, that’s not so easy to answer-since I don`t know these girls personal..

But maybe the fact that I am Norwegian and the scene for alternative models in Norway are pretty small!

Also the thing that I am more an artist then a model, all I do I do for the art in itself and are not really so interested in promoting myself as just a model.

Now, on to the modelling – how did it all start for you? Was it something you always wanted to do, or did it just ‘happen’?

I guess you can say I have always been "modeling"..Since I use my modeling as an expression of my art and my thoughts..And since I have been working on art since childhood it all came natural to me.

I did not start to promote my model pictures until maybe so 6 years ago when I got in contact with what then was then called "Fetishdivas", where I met some very creative and great people. I realized that I wanted to start out more serious and to take my modeling to another level, and after that it has been going just great!

Do you have any personal guidelines on what you will or won’t do for the sake of a good photo, or is it pretty much anything goes? And if you do have any guidelines, have you ever been in a situation where you’ve had to enforce them?

My main guideline is to never do nothing that I don’t feel good by doing..that may be nude pictures,-or simply pictures to promote something which I do not believe in myself. I Think that whatever work I do it won’t get good if I can’t stand behind it 100%.

A lot of the models that we chat to here at Voltcase are often actresses, musicians, writers etc as well. Are you concentrating on just the modelling, or is it just one of many things that you do?

I work much on art (paint, draw and various technicks)

I also work on music and write poems/lyrics... work in web-design and in promotion of alternative models and bands...so I am quite busy and devoted to all that is creative.

We’re all a bunch of geeks at heart here at Voltcase, are you particularly geekie about anything in particular yourself – the more embarrassing the better!?

I don’t know if I am particularly geekie... maybe in the eyes of the mainstream I am extremely eccentric and strange, but I don’t think I am what people refer to as a geek..or maybe I am..hehe

If you were interviewing yourself, what question would you ask yourself? And what would the answer be?

Is it true that where you are from there are POLARBEARS outside the doors??Answer: Absolutely, they are everywhere... no, just kidding! (laughs)
NO, there are no polarbears... only lots of moose and maybe you can see a reindeer if u are lucky... ;)

Loud rock ’n’ roll plays a big part in our lives here at Voltcase, are you a big music fan? Any bands or artists you might want to namedrop for us, or any unknown acts that you think we should check out?

Music is for me as art, the essence of life..-Can`t be without it! I have always been very devoted to both listening and playing music since I was a child.
I like various styles of music, but prefer black metal and classical as I find this is the music that represents me, my feelings and who I am best.

I am currently working on a ambient/black metal project which will be released next spring.

As for mentioning any bands I find it hard, but can`t go without mentioning Burzum, Make a change kill yourself and Blodarv from Denmark (http://www.myspace.com/blodarv)

Also go check out Nyx Models where we promote a handful of bands absolutely worth attention! ( http://www.myspace.com/nyxmodels )

And last but not least go check out the Norwegian band "Trokle" ( http://www.myspace.com/trokle)

And finally, the question that we ask everyone that appears in Voltcase - what does the word 'Voltcase' mean?

Struck by lightning I guess... Totally grilled in the head!
