About Me
"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I'm a younger, more agile but less rich version of Doctor Gregory House, thrown into this world hoop-jumping and guns blazing. I'm Sherlockian in nature: analytical, problemsolving, sucking up every detail to form them into something concrete - a pinch of paranoia added in the mix to keep it interesting.
The canvas is my oyster and the world is whatever it is. Without creative exploits I'm and empty shell. The desire to create is too great and my mind craves endlessly for input and output. I'm a surviver and don't give up easily. I'm passionate, hardcore with a soft side. I'm relatively speaking, conscious of all things. I'm funny in a serious way, grasp things quickly, at least when I understand them. Though I will never understand certain things I understand it all the same, human all too human.
Some call me weird but without weird everything would be the same. Don't imitate, innovate, build on what exists and make it better... or at least different. Everything has been done before until you do them again. I'm an lone wolf amidst sheep, a young loner on the crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law. I love it when a plan comes together but there's always a plan-B, or C.
1980's
The eighties were a fantastic era where people started to know more and more but remained ignorant about so many things. It was a childlike innocent time of fantasy, heroes and villains set on the backdrop of a looming nuclear holocaust. Much, if not all, of this era defines me. My love for fantasy, myths, occult, secret societies and conspiracies, the A-Team,Knightrider and Airwolf. Besides inventing my own booby-traps and mixing together myths I made my own series of The Garbage Pail Kids cards I chose to let Skeletor win now and again with The Masters of the Universe and so much more. I started drawing at a very young age and continued to do so throughout my days, my dream was to become a comicbook illustrator or something like that and that hasn't changed till this day.
1990's
The buildingblocks of the 80's transformed into a slightly more mature version of what once was. He-Man and my fondness for mythology became Lovecraft, Dungeons & Dragons and the occult. Secret societies and conspiracies were rampant on the evenly maturing internet. The wall had fallen, villains became real but looked unlike I endeavoured into the worlds of Goethe, Nietzsche, A.C. Doyle, Crowley and others. My drawingskills improved and I entered artschool, a strange time with many stories few ever believe are true.
2000's
The century was over and my enlistment into the RITS as an animation-student was a fact. Not soon after I got to be the proud father or my first-born son. An event that has changed my life in many profound ways. I had to quit my studies and ended up in the mainstream of tempjobs, never losing sight of my true passion and goals. I dabbled in a lot of jobs both mundane as extravagent but never really got a hold on a true job yet kept working as a freelance graficus and illustrator. My second child, a beautiful, daughter was born in 2004 and my life changed again. The end of this turbulant decade announced the possibility of yet another new start. Many things change, many things were lost but the love for design, illustration and art peeked as never before.
2010's
After my short course to finetune my webdesign skills and moving to a new house in a new city I now continue to do what I do best: to make things with my mind and hands. I use my creative talents and passion on a daily basis; whether it's webdesign, print or illustration.
