"I started drawing when I was 2 years old, and got my first pen tablet when I was 21...
     Even though it was a bit clunky (the pen used an AA battery!), I instantly fell in love with digital painting and wanted to become a professional. Back in 2004, there wasn't as much competition in this field. After posting just a few works online, I started receiving job offers - it sure was a good time to be a 'digital artist' with little experience...
     But I wasn't ready for it. After 6 years of doing graphic designs, concept designs and too many other things, I had no cohesive portfolio or personal style. I convinced myself I should focus on traditional art. While still doing odd design jobs, I was drawing, painting and learning anatomy for a few years and made a lot of progress, yet one thing was becoming clear:  I enjoyed digital painting more than traditional.
     With new skills in place, I took on what I dreamed of doing when I was a child - creating realistic portraits of imaginary yet relatable characters. All the images on this page are dedicated to my inner 8-year old ;) "
