About me

I’m painting on and off since 1994, at first mainly GW miniatures (WH40k, WFB, Epic scale), but few years ago I’ve discovered other manufactures works. I’ve made also some terrain pieces and painted several armies on demand in the past.
Nowadays I’m painting individual models for my own pleasure. I’m also trying to improve my modelling and painting skills constantly. I usually paint with acrylics, but I still trying to master other techniques like oils and airbrush. I have little training in traditional art and interior design and it helps me a lot in my work.

If it comes about programming it started in late 90′ on Atari STe (sure I’ve got 8-bit Atari’s earlier, but it was more about gaming than anything else). Firstly I’ve tried GFA-Basic, then it was m68k assembler(for direct access to hardware) and after that I’ve started learning C language (which I don’t regret to this day). The main drive behind it was to learn computer games programming (it wasn’t easy in these times, internet wasn’t so publicly available and there were no books at all about this topic). I was also strongly influenced by individuals behind computer demoscene.
In the meantime PC’s got a lot of market share and I’ve started developing applications for Windows (in C/C++), it was mainly graphical user interfaces design/programming in various native/cross-platform API’s.
I was also hooked by computer graphics/animation, cross-platform programming and possibilities which were given by open-source 3D graphics engines and OpenGL, which pushed me to make research in this scope on my own.

These interests persist to this day …
