I am a dreamer, but not an escapist. I live in a real world, sometimes so wonderful, sometimes so painful; but deep and penetrating, often almost magic. And dreams and realism need not be opposites in my world.
Then I have a serious problem.. that is.. I have a problem being all serious for too long.
The eye of the fish.. staring into the eyes of its predator.. commissioned by the Houston band Sanktul Layer.
When I have to.. I very often do.. I normally get this awful temptation of doing something to break the seriousness after a while.
It is funny, though.. or not.. because I am really a very serious person in the depths of my heart.

I am with Amnesty International, working as Human Rights Education Coordinator in the danish section, as well as being responsible for our part in an upcoming global poverty campaign.

And then I make illustrations.

From a book about breastfeeding.
If you are danish.. or at least if you speak danish.. or read.. then you are really privileged - because then you can go to my real website and learn more about who I am and what I do.
My very own real website: michelbanz.dk
If you are one of the nonprivileged, you can take a look in my portefolio instead - again only in danish, though.. but there is a collection of some of my drawings also, and they are made in the universal language called visualistish (Note: click on 'billedting' - this means something like 'image things').
Some politician who gets all of the votes in an election. In danish we call this a 'stemmesluger' - meaning one who eats all the votes.
In my portefolio you will also be able to find the Winter Tale : This christmas I began telling my children an illustrated story about three little girls who are attracted by some strange light shining from the river, not far away. An unfinished story, that has no end, as yet (however, there will be something with a hand emerging from the river.. grasping for the girls). But the story will continue with a new image every time my children are going to get a present from me. If you really are so lucky that you can read the strange language of danish, you will be able to follow the story as well.
