CURRENT MISSION

To be the best painter in the world

ABOUT ME

I draw a lot and make puns. I'm somewhat shy around big groups but an easygoing person, i suppose, and i really enjoy getting to know people individually. I'm a painter and illustrator and i draw portraits, so meeting new faces and getting to analyse and reproduce them is a pleasure.
This is a little hard, haha... The things i value the most are gentleness and paying attention to the people around you, as well as a good sense of humor and not taking yourself seriously. And beying silly. And good beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens so much

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once in 2013 i went to a thanksgiving dinner a friend took me to. It was organised by a couchsurfing community and it was a really fun experience. That was it so far, but I'm looking to expand that ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made it so far?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach blind drawing! (drawing without looking at the paper, only at the subject. It's the first step to doing a good observation drawing. And a good abstraction exercise, letting go of schemes and habits in order to portray just what you are observing)
the Languages i speak as well.
Also where to find the nastiest stuff on the internet.

i like to learn about everything i don't know, which is a lot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Jokes, food, drinks, conversations, silence, drawings, some knowledge!

We're not accepting guests YET because we're moving to a different country, but that might change really soon!
