I’m a third year student at EVTEK University of Art and Design (called Metropolia nowadays), where I study Graphic Design (switched after a year in Fashion). I graduated in 2005 from SYK with papers averaging Eximia (6/7).
I’m interested in fashion illustration and web graphics, and I’ve worked as an illustrator for the local City Library. I also teach basic manga drawing at Vantaa Art School and I’ve held or assisted in several manga workshops at libraries, schools and conventions.
I’m an incorrigible optimist.
I love electronics.
My musical taste stems from the heaps of classical music tapes I used to listen as a child, and I still enjoy Beethoven and Tchaikovsky as well as progressive metal and Finnish rock. My weekly top artists chart looks like this—>
I also love historical and fantasy films (the more epic or macho it is, the better), my favourites are the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Elizabeth, Gladiator, 300 and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. I’m not entirely confined to my interests however, and my absolute favourites are actually LA Confidential and Forrest Gump (the female lead being a Jenny has nothing to do with my affection for this film, no..).
I’m usually very bad at watching TV, but lately I’ve become extremely interested in British and American drama series (British comedy used to be the only thing I cared to watch). I’m an avid fan of Life on Mars, House MD, Lost, Rome and Heroes. Older sci-fi is also yum.
I’m a horrible cook, but I love cookies, tea and coffee. I have a very special relationship with cheese and metrilaku (show me a metrilaku booth and I’ll probably buy a dozen).
I also play some video games and online rpg’s from time to time. Not much to be said there.
