Personal Interests
Apart from creating digital art my interests go out to all kinds of technology; I always enjoy reading up on that. I have also been driving and maintaining motorcycles for several years now.
I enjoy building, painting and tinkering with things in my spare time, as I like getting away from the computer a bit and broadening my knowledge of the world.
If I’d have to name some of my favorite movies, it would be Sky Captain and the World Of Tomorrow, Escape from New York, Mad Max, Sky Fighters and Death Race.
When it comes to gaming I enjoy(ed) a lot of games, but there are some I truly loved playing; Quake 3, Need For Speed 5: Porsche Unleashed, Fallout Tactics, Red Alert 2, Faces Of War, FlatOut 2, STALKER, FreeLancer, Crashday, Gears Of War, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and AudioSurf.
