The story of my life
"Knowledge is more than equivalent to force."
      - Samuel Johnson. 1709-1784.




My god, I can't believe I devoted an entire page to the subject of ME... Well, come to think of it, I can, because I can think of a lot of things less interesting than ME that actually have pages of their own. Well, a few things anyway.

I'm currently something like 25 years old, born some time in the early 70's in Södertälje, Sweden. Södertälje is probably best known, if at all, as being the birthplace and administrative + manufacturing home of Scania trucks and buses and, until recently, Astra (now AstraZeneca) pharmaceuticals. I am studying at KTH in Stockholm - see the above picture - but I'd rather be working instead. Hey - which student wouldn't?


I got drafted in 1994 with the Compulsory Military Service, to which currently about 50% of this nation's young men, depending on ability, devote a virtually unpaid year of their lives. I'll say one thing though, and that is that the military is quite comfortable, at least mentally so, once you've settled in, because as a private you don't have to take responsibility, and you always know what you're gonna do tomorrow! I dare not say where I was and what I did, because then I might have to kill you.


Oh yeah, I draw these critters too, and that is sort of the point of this whole website. I suppose there must be a reasonable explanation why I do this, but you might as well ask why anybody would want to draw anything. Why critters though? Well, inanimate objects are not so fun, right? They just stand there, kind of thing. And humans are somewhat boring when you're as unskilled as me at drawing them. But animals with facial expressions? Yeah, there's instant gratification! And most of them look so cute, too. (If you are a furry fan, you already know this.)

My "personal furry" is Victor Sikorsky, an arctic fox. I've done a few drawings of Vic, but he seems to be hard to nail down in terms of appearance. This is mostly due to the fact that I only seem to draw him about once a year. Vic has a mate, Lorelei(another arctic), and a kid, Leopold. By the way, I don't have a character on any MUD or MUCK, so if you see someone there of those names, at least it's not me.(I'm saying this because some people think they have met me on FurryMuck.)

PICTURES (by me) OF THE SIKORSKYS INCLUDE:

Other people have tried their hands at them as well. The results are on a special page:



...and now...


..as you might have guessed from the above, I do not exist on the net only, so here are a few photos:

  • Me by the sea (1997)
  • Me sign (1997) -- Yes, it's really named for my family! It doesn't point to an entire city though, rather a part of the village Tärendö. In olden times, farms were named after the farmers(and the other way around), hence the connection.

  • Me by the Serpentine, Hyde Park, London (1998)
    (Yeah, I like water in the background! :)


    There is also a page so totally ME that unless you actually are me, it will shatter your mind from sheer ego.
