programming, marketing, internet- and gamedevelopment, musician

born in 1975, i'm the handywork of the 80's and 90's, so affectionately called 'generation x' by into yuppie reformed moneyloving hippies.
after finishing high school i finished several courses in graphic design, internetdesign and programming and went professional in 1997.

after having worked at several internet companies during the golden age of internet (99/00) i turned freelance and went back to contracted work early 2005 where i remained till today. i play several musical instruments but am currently active as the bassist for a band called fabian which is a great source of inspiration for me.

next to music i am currently teamleader of a project called 'hexen:edge of chaos' which is a total conversion for the doom3 engine by id software. this takes away much of my time for other projects like my freeform artwork and ambient music. i am not religious, not political and hold no other statements than how i feel at any certain time. hence my artwork holds a big range of emotions depending on which stage i am in life.

i hope that some of my work inspires you or manages to stimulate you one way or the other, eventhough i make artwork for no other purpose than to make it. you can read more about all of this in the other sections of my website.

if you are interested in contacting me then please feel welcome to do so and drop me a line. yes, i even reply to strangers.
