Birthday: November 5th, 1984

know)
Education: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Art History, as well as a Master in the
same subject, and a second Master in Medieval Studies.
Current occupation: PhD Research (2009-2012)! I study the functions of medieval

good fantasy books, dark chocolate, tuna, Stargate SG-1, ancient art, (medieval) history,
mangas, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, cats of all shapes and sizes, nature in general, and
fan art. I love fan art!

After I graduated from high school, I had no idea what I wanted to study in college. One possible
option was to go to an art school and get an education as an artist. But after some consideration,
I chickened out of going to art school, thinking it would be impossible to get a decent job as
an artist. Let's face it, most artists don't get wealthy until after they die. I didn't really
want to become rich, but I did want to be able to make a living.
So I decided to study art history instead, because everybody knows you can never have too
many art historians! We're in serious demand, people!
Brilliant career choice aside, I am having a lot of fun doing what I do. That's what's really
important, right? When I'm not studying, working on some research project, or managing scholarly
newsletters, I'm drawing. And that's what this website is for.
