I like sports just as much as I like animals. When I was young I biked, cross country skied and played competitive soccer. All this took a lot of training. Now I sometimes go swimming and enjoy playing water-polo. I started running thirteen years ago aiming to be in good shape for soccer. At first my knees hurt a lot after running just two kilometers. Now I can run a full marathon (42.2 km) and I am very proud! Of course, I play hockey quite often at outdoor rinks. Real hockey with the neighbours in my area.

Apart from sports, I enjoy watching classical and modern ballet. Music is also very present in my life. I play guitar, flute, piano and saxophone. I am a music and cinema enthusiast. I rarely watch television. In fact I do not even own one! In the evenings I read for my own pleasure. When I have no illustration contracts I also do acrylic painting. However, I have been so busy lately that my acrylic paintbrush is gathering a lot of dust.
