Duration: Less then a year.
Staff: I employ a variety of pens.
Education: An MA in animage (animation and illustration) from Hochschule Luzern Design & Kunst, Switzerland, 2010. I have also studied illustration and animation at the Royal College of Art Craft & Design in Stockholm, Sweden.
Cultural Influences: Documentaries and pens of all sorts. I live off of radio documentaries, Louis Theroux and a program called DOX on Swedish Television. My favorite documentary at the moment is Kings of Pastry.
Environment: I have a home office and share my workspace with my collection of pens. They have half the desk and I have the other (better) half.
Philosophy: In homage to my loyal and useful staff I'll have to say, "Handmade rules!"
