Biography
From printmedia to Graphic design
I always wanted to be an artist, and later also got an interest in graphic design. It was a long journey for me to get where I am. I've studied in graphics for 10 years while trying to build an audience for my artwork. I recently decided to try and start commission work in a professional manner.

Self learning
Like most artist I went trough several phases although went it came to material I mostly kept to grey pencil. Going from trying to draw princesses to horses. Every now and then I liked drawing scenes from both books, movies and stories I had been told at Sunday school.
Then as I matured I started to draw portraits. Including of course both my favourite characters and my friends. It really thought me to focus on comparing the placing of features and details.
I tried to learn how to draw both human and animal anatomy as animals where another great interest of mine. Anything from both predatory and song birds to mammals and reptiles.
Digital art
I also loved drawing on my dads and later my own computer whenever I could using Windows paint. This was a rather useful experience when I started drawing with Photoshop. It would allow me to draw more efficiently but pencils are still often preferable. On my 30th birthday I was given a drawing tablet by my dear friends and family, a tool that helped me become a professional artist.
