Just a quick note to let you know I'll be away for a full three weeks - we'll be on our way to Spain tonight, to see my parents. The best holiday you can think of: with the babysitters already in place and eager to rid you of the kids! :D

See you all in August. ^__^ Cross your fingers I can get some sketching done in between getting tanned and fishing the kids out of the Mediterranean!

I'm a teacher for English and Latin living in Germany. On the side, I do illustrations for books, games or comics. Right now, my two children are taking up most of my time, however, so I have less time for art than I'd like...

Jack Sparrow: [to Elizabeth] One word love: curiosity. You long for freedom. You long to do what you want to do because you want it. To act on selfish impulse. You want to see what it's like. One day you won't be able to resist.
Wow! Your style is awesome! How do you make your characters look so natural? I wish I could draw as well as you can!
Thanks! :)

Keep your fingers crossed that the conference on Wednesday will be long and boring, and leave me with my hands free. :D
