About Me

Right... I was born, bored my ass through school (didn't make the right choices concerning what I wanted to study), tried attending an art school which sucked so much it's not actually worth mentioning, probably not very fortunate with my choice there...then found out there were a LOT of other artists out there wanting to learn and teach from eachother, so I started teaching myself, and learning from my peers.. now I'm a concept artist and storyboard artist in a company called Mirror Pictures (www.mirrorpictures.com)..Some of my illustrations, concepts and sketches:Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

My Interests

Fine art, concept art, sketching, learning new shit about art (always on top of my list of things to do), parkour/freerunning, martial arts, martial arts tricks (flips, summersault and such), reading, movies... the list goes on... I'm fascinated by a lot of shit...
