Latvia

I'm artist from Latvia that likes to try out different mediums and styles.

Have worked as Flash animator in agency for couple of years, then tried few years web management in my professional career.

In that time when creative things were only my spare time activities, I have educated myself more in photo and traditional art at Latvian Art Academy evening preparation courses. From traditional mediums I like clay (plasticine) and oil painting.

Right now I'm returned back to the creative stuff in my professional life. I'm animator/multimedia artist once again. I'm doing the same Flash animations as earlier and for additional After Effects + some designs as well.

I'm looking in nearest future to upgrade my skills by trying out 3D and filming stuff. By combination with my After Effects skills it could turn out as VFX or motion design competence.

One of my side projects are web page Texture Freaks - where I put full size JPG pictures with different textures as free resources for everyone.

In time when I'm not working or doing art related stuff I like to: do cycling, go to gym, playing darts, airsoft (My new obsession), footbag, cooking, go to music festivals etc.
