# About me

I am an aspiring science fiction artist, drawing inspiration from the vast diaspora of science fiction from Chris Foss to Shirow Masamune and everything in between! I focus on trashumanist machines and the interplay between organics and synthetics!

Aha I'm glad! Just a quick question, what software do you use to paint your pieces? Or is it all done traditionally?

i dont understand why so many people love working traditional, digital is ten times more powerful, A LOT faster, gives you complete freedom, you can try out whatever you want without any consequences ... aside from producing originals and unique artworks you can make for selling purposes, there is no reason in my oppinion to work traditional.
