CURRENT MISSION

i am visiting capetown (rsa) september 2007 - i would be happy with a sleeping place anytime during this month - even just several days

ABOUT ME

some years after my parents moved from graz to johannesburg in the 70ies me and my sister were born there, but actually grew up back in graz, we moved back as small childs. in 1991 i moved to vienna to work as an art director which i am doing now for long enough to be called a "senior". -i am a little proudof that, but it reminds me of getting older ... almost 2 years ago i decided to "live the dream" and become an artist (paintings, conceptual and video works), still i have to make money as a freelancer, but i spend much more time doing things i like. just had to downshift a little. but it makes me happier.
now:
checking out capetown (where my sister shortly moved to, to open up a surf camp ...) to work there as an art director, photographer, painter)

life isnt always too easy but i love it and am a curious and open minded person. let love rule.
