About Me

I have been drawing my entire life, it came up naturally. Time passed and I realized that drawing wasn't enough to my own satisfaction. I felt stuck because my sketched ideas would never become something by itself. So I decided to learn programming, out of pure psychological need. Fortunately I found myself enjoying programming a lot (I never really was the kind of artist who prefers Humanities anyway).

I like to say drawing is a physiological necessity, while programming is a psychological one.

I also like training Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, having training 5+ years since I was about 12. Today I find myself with too few time to practice it, but you know..Kung Fu remains in your blood.

games that changed my life

Rock n` Roll Racing, The Lost Vikings 2, Fallout 1, Soul Reaver 1, GTA 3, Super Metroid, Super Bomberman 4, AvsP 2, Super Mario World, The King of Dragons, Legend of Mana.
