Salvete!
In addition to possessing several seemingly useless degrees in the humanities, I am an artist of various media, including illustration, digital art (colorizing, graphic design), acrylic painting (tabletop miniatures, mostly), writing, woodworking, and bladesmithing. I have gravitated toward work as a colorist due to my life-long love for comics and all things in nerd-culture. I have had some success monetizing this interest, and I am always looking for new opportunities to do so.
There are several deviants whose works continue to awe and inspire me.

Check them out, their stuff is incredible.
Like my art, my interests are varied. I study dead languages (and a few living ones), ancient and medieval history, comparative mythology, social movements, pre-historic topics in archaeology, and though I am a bit less trained in it, human evolutionary ecology. I have practiced several martial arts over the years because life just isn't interesting without a few broken bones. Lastly, while I appreciate a vast array of musical genres, I tend to favor choleric music with an informed sociopolitical perspective and a conscience.
Ask me a question, I will answer it.
Tschüss!
