I'm a self-taught artist from the Arctic. My artist name FelisGlacialis means 'Ice cat' and my affinity with the cold Northern taiga, mountains and tundra as well as Ice is visible all throughout my art. It's the Dark Wild world where I belong.

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. A cat was the first animal I've drawn, my mother told me. Ever since, I've drawn animals, mostly felines and canines but I've also been exploring many other species as part of my identity. My own big feline species, the Siderians and their precursors, have lived with me since I was 11-12 years old, that was back in 1999-2000. They started off as a feline-looking spiky lightning wolf pokémon and gradually became the current Oriental-cat/tiger/lynx like species that they are since 2011.

My many Siderian characters have been of great support though joy and sorrow, life and death. They are my breath of life and I dream away with them, day and night. To get to know me, you will have to know them. Some, like Falkner, have been with me for almost 20 years. Others like Noiro, Shine, Stian and Håkan have changed my life forever. My ultimate dream is to see Siderians alive, be it through a realistic 3D animation, art or through written stories. Hopefully I will finish my novel one day.

I draw both digitally but sometimes traditionally. I also play music (keyboard and my old home-organ) to express myself through playing the music pieces that touch me the deepest. Craft-work and costume making has always attracted me too: I've made sculptures, plushies and a fursuit. I'm now taking steps to take fursuit making to a professional level. However, I will first have to finish my current personal suit to gain more experience.

People who know me personally find me cheerful, funny, curious and positive minded. However, I'm deeply concerned and hurt about the damage that humanity does to other species and the environment and this translates into painful bitterness at times. Maybe that is why some people find me edgy. I'm also into spiritual Satanism (which is not 'evil' reverse christianity and it's NOT related to JoS - it's more like shamanism/paganism) but I worship no-one.
