“Content is king but the king is never content”
“The fast-running flow of entertainment is turning storytelling into business. Stories are shaped by focus groups and market analysis. Stories have become a commodity
 But we need to understand that stories shape our dreams and our future and at some point, storytelling and creativity must set new goals.

Rebel Natureis an idealistic attempt to do exactly that.

Rebel Natureis a “do good/feel good” story project with the ambition to create a fully CSR certified entertainment property.

Rebel Naturewill try to prove that storytelling is one of the most important human survival skills.

What is Rebel Nature?

Rebel Nature” is a powerful and intriguing story with direct reference to our current environmental situation on planet earth and especially in our oceans. The story gets its basic fuel from the conflict between balanced natural evolution and speeded technological progress.

The aim is to create the first girl Eco superhero who acts on new and emphatic morals and ethics of the 21st century instead of the values of post 2WW that most other super-heroes pursue. The moral of Rebel Nature is “balance and evolution” instead of “victory” understanding that good and evil is relative sizes and that winning is not the goal.

The lead character of Rebel Nature is a young girl called Res Waveborn and she is a very different superhero with an unusual childhood that sets her apart from every other human on earth. Res’ childhood teaches her to act when everybody else adapts and teaches her to pursue balance instead of victory in the conflicts she encounters.

Rebel Nature is a personal story and journey of a girl who grows up in the most unusual of all places with the most unusual foster parent. The audience can travel together with her as she grows up. Rebel Nature will unfold as Res discovers the surrounding world, following her destiny.

Her personal goal is to find the truth about her parents herself and their idealistic project. Her superhero goal becomes to unify humans with their own robotic creations and seek a new balance and understanding with nature. It is about time because nature is radically changing to answer the human effect.


Rebel Nature doesn’t try to moralize. It delivers great action, big emotions mind-blowing locations and a peek into a possible near future.

Thought I'd let you in on some sketch work for Rebel Nature. I've played around with the different elements of the story and this seems to work so now it is just to add some color. I will upload a rough when I get a little further. I know you don’t know the story yet but does this wake your appetite? Any comments?, I would love to hear but I won’t promise to follow themJ

Summer has suddenly hit Denmark so this shot is to celebrate. It is taken a few years ago and shows my oldest daughter going her own way in the countryside (the dot to the right is actually a bumblebee in flight:)

The origin of Rebel Nature

Having worked with LEGO for more than 25 years and robotic characters for more than 16 years it is clear that I am deeply fascinated by 2 mayor themes namely (kids) imagination, robots and the future of both. The last ingredient for Rebel Nature hit me like a hammer 9 years ago when I got my first child. Suddenly the future meant something else. The responsibility for a small individual but also for the future of our civilization and the nature that surrounds us became very real and so did the drive to do something differently.

I remember feeling a bit like a robot that suddenly held a new organic life form in shape of a child, in his hands and now had to learn what real life was about starting from scratch. Looking into the eyes of this fantastic new being meant that everything I did had a specific purpose. 
Awakening to the ever-present responsibility of taking care of a baby apparently tricked some creative thoughts as a side effect. I had this crazy picture in my head of a small baby crawling happily and unknowing on the steel structure of an oilrig in the middle of an ocean. It was an extreme contrast and I started to fantasize about what it would take for a kid to survive in that hostile environment. What if there was no one else around, only machines.

Suddenly a lot of ideas hit each other in one point. Robots and their future role, children and their future, the impact we have on the environment, the future of consumption and an idealistic urge to do something beyond earning money. The result is finally ready to be realized in the shape of Rebel Nature.

Finally got a little time to start adding some color to the Rebel Nature Key-visual sketch I posted earlier. Naturally I started with the Res' face. Hope for a little more drawing time soon.

This is what it is all about. Jeans made from ocean trash by Bionic Yarn, G-star supported by Pharrell Williams. I will try to get in contact to produce Rebel Nature bags and t-shirts out of this fabric.

Here is a early sketch of what a "RES Bag" could look like. It would be made from recycled material and trash plastic taken from the oceans. What do you think?
Would you buy one? the surplus would go back into the project.
