*I'm a self-taught illustrator and artist from windy Hamburg (Germany). Solely using traditional techniques, I mostly draw and paint using watercolors, ink and acrylics. Join me when I'm working on commissions and personal pieces for upcoming exhibitions!* I love to chat about art, comics, music, movies, games and other nerdy stuff, so feel free to geek out in my chatbox! I also love to give advice and answer all of your technique- or material-related questions (if I can)!

As I'm trying to make a living solely doing art, I'm open to commissions. *Please send a DM or an [eMail](mailto:absinthforever@yahoo.de) if you're interested in commissioning a personal piece for your collection or as a gift.* You can even watch me working on your piece on my stream - if you want to!

Though I'm german, I'm streaming in english to practice my language skills and build an international audience. I love talking to people from all over the world and I don't want to exclude anyone by using an obscure language like german! :-) We have an awesome community with people from every continent - except Antarctica. **So, please speak english in chat!** It's no problem if your english is not that great - it doesn't matter. Mine also ain't that good and I'm butchering words all the time, but we have a positive, encouraging community that doesn't judge or make fun of it. They will try to understand you and help. <3 You won't get banned asking stuff in german, but I'll answer in english.

*On occasion, I'm also streaming game-play on PC or my Xbox One. My favorite games at the moment would be **RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2**, **PUBG**, **Fortnite**, **Minecraft** and **GTA V**.
