About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get a job as a Designer or Illustrator maybe in London, so that i can suport my art and myself and experience the London life for a while.

ABOUT ME

My friends might comment on my music or drawing or skateboarding ability etc but i hope that they would also say that i am a very nice person that is willing to give time and respect to anybody who needs it, i am very none conventional in my methods lol being an artist makes this easy to understand. I let my friends be themselves and focus mainly on the positive, funny and help-full parts of conversation, i can be very easy going and feel very serious about things that truly matter in the world. I am bad at spelling and general grammar and this comes across in my writing and conversation hehe but people that know me probably don't care and understand that i also don't have a problem with it. I am a simple person that tries not to ask too much out of life and of people, and i just generaly try to get on with everybody however hard it may be sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

i dont know, everytime i find the answers they change so i have no use for philosophy just now. Ide rather spend my time with something i know rather than waste it trying to figure out things i dont or can never know. But saying that i still live by the fact that anything can be possible if you are determined enough.

Interests

I am a very creative and imaginative person with lots of energy to do all things child-like and exciting. Nature also makes me feel very happy inside when i look out and see nice landscapes and awsome animals and creatures, i have a love for every living thing i guess.
Also in my spare time i play Bass and normal guitar, and a little bit of drums whenever there is a drum kit around, so having a jam with people is always welcome :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything, its more the feeling of enjoying them with people that i appreciate. But for some examples i enjoy Some Jet li films, Bruce lee films, Gladiator, Starwars, Lord of the Rings, Harry potter, animated films, cartoons, horror, action...it goes on too much to list lol

Music i can almost tolerate every kind but i tend to stick mostly with Punk, Metal, Thrash, and anything very melodic or with good musical structure to it, also an interesting voice is a bonus.

I dont read so much but i like books and when somebody recomends a very good book i usualy enjoy it, i just cant take in the information as well as something visual, so most books i own are wild life ones or art books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on top of a high-rise hotel in New york city whilst it was thundering and lightning was pretty awsome and dangerous.
I have jumped down a set of twelve stairs on my skateboard and landed a few times, that was deffinatly exciting and full of adrenalin, i also landed a tripple kickflip just from off the ground....no ramp!
Feeding squirels and various animals from my hand fealt very nice to do also and seeing my first wild elks in sweden on foot was fantastic.

Teach, Learn, Share

Things i can teach i guess would be drawing, painting, using a computer, playing guitar...although i havnt learnt music theory so i dont know all the chords, but hey i can teach you something right? :) and i can teach how to skateboard, maybe there are more but maybe im being greedy.

I would like to learn Webdesign and flash animation, Conservation techniques for protecting endangerd species and anything new on guitar that i dont know or understand :) and a bit of everything in general really hehe
