CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the wonderful world of human eccentricity

ABOUT ME

I've figured out that travelling is essential for my (mental) health and I go abroad as often as I can. Currently work as a graphic designer in my own company, making everything from logos to animations to installations. I spend most of my free time travelling, drawing, painting, writing, reading and hanging around in the pub (both as a customer and a bartender). The bar where I occasionally work is a little pocket adventure. The kind of place where you might unexpectedly see a guy riding his bike to the toilet, doing a little dance on the way.
