I was born and grew up in Austria, near Vienna. Drawing and painting is the purpose of my life since I can remember.

After I finished my degree for the College of Art and Design in Vienna I focused my work entirely on "tradidional" hand-made Illustrations. It`s really important for me to use real pens, brushes und colours. I concentrated on evolving my drawing techniques/skills keeping in mind, what Charlie Chaplin said: "That`s all any of us are: amateurs. We don`t live long enough to be anything else."

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Lady Windermere’s Fan 1892, Oscar Wilde
