Publisher / author /journalist / illustrator as pre-teen - because of school papers who appreciated my contributions; my first self-made fan magazine was printed via spirit duplicator at school. I won several art contests, never had "professional" training in my youth, though, I definitely inhereted the talent from my mom.

 

Most of my early artwork is "lost", because teachers wanted to keep at school, in order to show it to the next generations.

​

Here a few examples of my teenage / twen works. There are many b/w drawings for fan magazines because it was cheaper than printing photos. Creating layouts back then involved typed texts, scissors and glue.
