ABOUT ME

34 years old, in a relationship that is meant to be forever, working at NGO that publishes public domain works and wants to modify copyright system; published 4 books of poetry; introvert; after a long break went back to visual arts (https://www.behance.net/gallery/15500589/Collages-vol-2)

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live such a way as to be in a position to create things. The domain is not that important, I switch between them. I want to learn as much neww stuf as I can while my brain still allows it.
