# About me

I am a PhD in Scandinavian studies, and have taught courses in Norse Myth, literature, language, and history, Scandinavian folklore and literature, Swedish language, and other subjects since filing my dissertation a few years back. Have taught at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Gustavus Adolphus College, and translated the book Heavenly Bodies by Ola Sigurdson on the theology and philosophy of the body. Also a published poet (small time still), with recent pieces in Ideomancer and Everyday Poets. I've started a blog (Vikings, Books, Etc) where I've been writing book reviews, posting pictures of vikings, and other things. Mostly work with either digital (photoshop and more recently painter) or pen brush, more often the latter recently. In addition to DeviantArt, here are my websites:

Callego In reply to kimgauge [2013-10-06 18:14:28 +0000 UTC]

No problem! I really enjoyed your work. I don't think I have what it takes to do more abstract work like that (I have no training beyond high school, a college appreciation of art course, and then some bits of art history in my dissertation), but it would be nice to try one day.

kimgauge In reply to Callego [2013-10-06 23:04:51 +0000 UTC]

hehe...that's more training than me. I don't have any training beyond art class in Year 10 of high school. I can still remember my high school teacher Ms Allen, spitting chips whilst telling me, 'you're a fool!', after I told her I'd be quitting art class to go on and study maths and sciences instead - she was right!
