About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live!

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, creatively passionate, full of life and up for new experience type serious/silly young guy.

I like art, and I make art almost every day.
I work as a concept artist for film productions. Being able to turn my passion into my job makes me a happy person!

In my spare time I like going for coffee, watch a play or movie, visit a museum, or have friends over and cook diner together.
I also like playing the piano or jamming with friends
though I spend most of my free time being lazy.. uhm.. I mean relaxing. One of my favourite activities is scuba-diving, though I only do it when traveling. Some of the things you see underwater are mind blowing.
Another one of my hobbies is urban exploration, if you don't know it, google is your friend.
Also I like to eat a lot. Food is good and I'm blessed with a no-fat gene.

Traveling is definitely my greatest passion.
It's a big globe and a short life and I intend to see as much of it as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch tons of movies, I'm not a movie freak but I enjoy all kinds as long as they inspire and intrigue me somehow. Also I have had to study a lot about films and filmmaking during my education.

I read when I can although I think I should do it more.
Books are great and I'm a little sad that the internet is driving me apart from it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled 43 countries!

I can tell you many stories about my crazy antics in these countries which include guns, helicopter chases, wild lions and drunk middle aged women. But that's something for the surfers!
