About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discover, learn and create

ABOUT ME

I'm rather quiet but social. I studied arts and gender studies. Now I try to make a living out of drawing and I'm looking for a "real" job. I live in a community house with 2 friends, which I enjoy very much. I haven't travelled a lot yet, and I don't like airplanes, so short distances by train or bus only.
I'm a vegetarian. I have a cat and dog allergy so I can't stay more than 1 day in a house with cats or dogs, even though I love them.
