CURRENT MISSION

To make original work as an artist.

ABOUT ME

Hello,

I was born and raised in Strombeek, a town right at the edge of Brussels, the unofficial capital of Europe. After I got my master degree in Visual Arts, I became an independent graphic designer and 3D artist. If you would like to get a better idea of what my work is about, you can check out my website at: http://astopia.eu and http://www.citypixels.be

I consider myself someone who is open-minded and has no problem in talking about any subject at all. For me you can do or say anything you want as long as you don't harras other people with it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. - Albert Einstein -

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. - Karl Marx -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have stayed with 5 different people in Japan during the summer of 2010 and it was always a very fun and eye-opening experience.

Now I would like to offer the same to travellers coming to Belgium.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Cycling about 1100 km from Luxembourg across France to to the mediterranean sea

- Cycling from Knokke (Belgian coast) to London.

- In 2006 I won the Michel Leën Award (for making an advertising campaign to promote an organisation which helps people who can barely read or write). One of the prizes was the opurtunity to participate in a one week course at the Roger Hatchual Academy during the international advertising festival in Cannes. It was a super experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about how to use software packages like Sketchup, 3ds Max, Vray, World Machine, Photoshop, ... (as it is part of my profession). I can also teach you some basic guitar playing.
