I started drawing cartoons in 1992. For the next few years I practiced drawing comics, which were scripted on the spot and not planned at all. I started studying design in 2006 and graphic design in 2007. After that I was familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator enough to do more abstract, vector and digital based work. I still like 'cartoony' illustrations, since that's my style of drawing, but I'm also trying to improve my standard of photo-manipulation and other digital art. And I still make comics, though not as much as I used to.
