Two names (and a pseudonym):

Introduce yourself in a few words:
A pirate, a knight, a vampire hunter and a wizard, or a person who wanted to be all of these, but only drew them.
What did you graduate from?
Animation at the National Academy of Dramatic Arts "Krastyo Sarafov"
What is your professional experience so far?
From advertising and cinema to the game industry, where I worked on web-based, mobile, tabletop to computer and console games, with the last stop being the most enjoyable for me and that's where I've stopped for now.
Tell us more about your work (style, technique, interests, way of working):
I love transferring traditional media into a digital format. To feel the stroke, the pencil, the texture of the pastel or oil. I don't like overly polished and "licked" illustrations... I strive for the "sketch-feeling", because for me it gives the most life.
