Ladies And Gentlemen....

About Me

I'm here to improve my social skills. I hard to get to knowbut easy to get along. I'd like to become a propper designer one day and I'm trying hard at illustration as well. In fact I am more and more interested in Illustration and losin interest in design. I'm a fan of late fifties going 60's style....the mod scene, old nature drawings, all things Asian and of course northern European design. Love all kinds of music. Don't tend to socialize and preffer a cinema to a huge party. Get really pissy with music I don't like when played loud. I did attend some theater plays must addmit. Love the art that is done for oneself but realise the flaw in it!!! I like to appear knowlledgeble but I find it hard picking up a book... I cannot be bothered. Probably a result of search of a pratical view... I'll get there. U can consider me easygoing and too trusting for words... the naive kind... Don't believe in organized religion but I do believe on the stuggle for a more humaine world free from injustice.__________________________________________________ my colour test resultYou're blue -- the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The colour of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolised trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a group of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you – they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue -- and patently youcheck out my images section for some of my work
