About me, briefly:

I’ve shot films, composed music and spent long years of studying complicated matters. Despite my gandmother’s advice to cut my hair and find a real job I decided to break up with everything and focus my life on the creation of illustrated juvenile narrative. I’m a founding member of Monipodio (www.monipodio.net)
