ABOUT ME

I started drawing and designing stuff at a young age for various bands from the underground music scene and as well some fanzines. I take responsibility for managing my own freelance business since 2003 as a part-time freelancer Digital designer & Illustrator. I was specialized in music websites as well as in print where I have published my own fan magazine (for the underground metal scene). After acquiring graphic and web development skills around 2008, I created my first digital illustrations and online media, for Metal & Rock bands in Europe, mainly.

I was among the top 5 MySpace designers worldwide, the years when MySpace was the main Social Media/Music platform, working for bands like Dimmu Borgir, Rotting Christ, and with over 100 bands from all over the world. The music industry has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of talented and popular people and bands over the years. Can't be more thankful for that!

With a growing client base of music labels and bands, I impress an international client base, the last two decades. Nowadays, I continue to work as a part-time freelance digital illustrator and web designer, when it’s possible, on various projects.

ILLUSTRATION DESIGN

Designing illustrations is a passion of mine. As I work on each project, I share my own perspective and accentuate what is needed to approach a precise style or look. Every band gets a detailed delivered project and gets the best presentation in print media and online.
