About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make money doing things I like! (not to be rich - only to survive)

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy from Sweden trying to survive just doing thing I like to do. Now, that's mainly illustration, animation, graphic design, web programming and magic.

I'm all for meeting new people and to learn stuff - the human is a powerful thing that has all the possibilities in the world!

I haven't travelled a lot, but I have plans on doing so! For the moment I go to France twice a year for the Animation Festival in Annecy (june) and the Comic Festival in Angoulême (jan/feb) - maybe we'll meet there!

PHILOSOPHY

I live at the moment - you never know when that meteor will strike or you'll loose those hands that is your livelihood..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I live on 16m2 with almost no spare room even for my stuff so I find it hard to lend the couch I'm sleeping on :)

But as soon as I'm getting my own apartment I'll have one for anybody interested in Sweden! I'm available for tours, but I suck at showing the big tourist traps and maybe focusing on comic and music stores combined with small restaurants and coffee shops.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I havn't used it so much but I already met some wonderful people through CS. Hopefully more to come in this section!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First trip to the Animation festival of Annecy, France. Amazing with thousands of people with the same interest as yourself.

Same thing with the Comic Festival of Angoulême, France. I tend to think that the place isn't that important for an amazing event, just the right kind of people..

Teach, Learn, Share

Comics & Animation (have worked as a teacher for 4 years)
Web Design & Programming (PHP, HTML & CSS)
..and if you show that you're worthy - I can teach you magic ;)
