Enjoy the World of Cartoons

toon-o-meter [?]

i´m drawing as long as i can think. i grew up in a house full of art catalogues. art, from the beginning, was ONE way to express one´s self. since old masters and new hands were standing side by side on the shelfes, there was never the thought of one of them being right; the so-called "classics" obviously followed there needs and abilities of expression as much as more modern artists. as much as of art, there was an abundance of literature in my youth; books served as a replacement for tv, and still do, challenging my imagination to reinvent itself permanently. after years of controlled training to exactly project an image in my head onto paper, suceeding in doing so lead me to now experimenting with pretty much everything to find and push the borders of my ability. most of the landscapes i grow, they grow themselves from the mistakes i make, like a new species fighting for survival by making it´s mutation it´s evolutionary advantage.
i hope to work in the illustration of books and the design of their covers, as i believe that images are an old, but not completely forgotten way of enchanting readers by sparking their imagination. ultimately, a read can be like travelling, a it´s not too bad to have an idea where you´re going, no matter how old you are or what journey you embark on.
