What's the point of life, if not to create art. Well, you might have all kinds of answers to that, but to me, art is the expression of the soul, the physical manifestation of the world within your mind
Check out some of the other sections of this website to see some examples of my artistic work
I'm the father of a beautiful baby girl, Maxine. She now lives in Germany with her mother, but I hope to be able to have her here in Sweden as well. It'll be interesting to see what kind of person she grows up to become
I'm not a super strict Vegan, but I do my best to follow a diet that is in line with the golden rule, to treat others like you would like to be treated. I view it as one of the important components of a free, empathic, sustainable future
Videogames is one of my big passions. It's an art form with the ability to immerse you into a fictional world, escaping reality, but I also believe it can say something about the real world
Either way, some of my best childhood memories come from some classic videogame adventures
As you can see on this website, I'm fully capable of making websites with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This website also uses JQuery, but all animations are CSS animations
On top of that, I've used AngularJS to create reusable HTML templates
I also know Bootstrap, JQueryUI, Wordpress and LESS
On the backend side of things, I know C#, Java, .NET, MVC, Entity Framework, LINQ, SQL, structuring relational databases, setting up databases, Web API, WCF, using GitHub, TeamCity, and how to do unit testing
I used to make games in Flash, coding in ActionScript 2 and some ActionScript 3, but have since moved on to making games in Unity, coding in C#. I've also coded an XNA game in C#
Check out the Games section of this website for more about my game development
I love the elegance and expressive potential of 2d art. It's something I'm continually working to get better at. I used to make all my 2d art as Flash vector art, but I'm transitioning to getting better at Photoshop raster art
Here are some examples of my 2d art
Ambient occlusion, lighting, topology, 3d art is fascinating. I do my 3d modeling in Maya, preferably with subdivision surfaces, but I leave the rendering to Blender
Here are some examples of my 3d art
