Greetings from Denmark

[stigkristensen]

Hi!


My name is Stig, and I'm a cartoonist and designer from Denmark. I found this website more or less by coincidence (while procrastinating from work), but after reading through some of the threads in the forums, I found it to be such an interesting place that I just had to join!

Here is some quick facts about me:

Full name: Stig Kristensen

Age: 24 (25.12.1985)

Born: Odense, Denmark.

Marital status: Happily married.

Occupation: Cartoonist at a regional newspaper, and then lots of various freelance jobs, everything from translation jobs, design, illustrating and so on.

Education: Studied philosophy at the University of Southern Denmark, but ended up dropping out just before graduation to take a multimedia designer course instead. You can't get work as a philosopher anyway.

Interests: I read a lot and I'm very interestend in politics and current affairs. I'm passionated about music, and play around with making my own every now and then. I like fashion and design, and I can't imagine living with out it.

My strengths and weakness: A strength is probably that I can focus 100% on a task an really get my self invovled in it, and give all that I got. I'm good at bringing multiple disciplines into play when solving a task. My weakness is probably managing myself, since I so easily get carried away. I tend to be perfectionist in the bad way, meaning I spend to much time on perfecting something, that doesn't need it, or where people aren't going to notice it anyway.

Right now I'm at a point in my life where I haven't really taken a direction yet. I have many things that I want to do, but the problem is that I want to do them all at once.
My wife and I will be moving to England from Denmark here in December, because she will be starting on a university course over there. I'm looking forward to going to England, because I think it opens up for a lot more opportunity for me, than if I stayed here in Odense (DK).

Haha, I guess Denmark and England has a lot in common when it comes to rainy weather. I should be moving to Spain or something like that instead.

You sometimes end up with unusual combinations when you aren't quite sure where you are going

Hi Stig,
welcome and have a nice time here,
expecting to learn and see your works, nice background and experience, philosophy would be nice to enrich a design I think
