# About me

I have a degree in metal arts, as well as environmental sciences. I also studied historical crafts for two years in a private school.

I ran a workshop for unemployed young people for two and half years, then quit my job and lived for a year in a very beautiful place in the countryside doing gardening and music. Now back in the city, seeing if I can get back to metalworking...

I am interested in traditional, cheap, low-tech, do-it-yourself crafts techniques, and am inspired by beautiful and wonderful things. I like to build acoustic instruments from scrap materials as a hobby, and have been producing electronic music for around a decade and a half, travelling all over.

I love adventures and beautiful things, and plan to find ever more of them :)

Hey hippie, haven't been around lately as I moved the family out of gang territory and into a small arts and crafts oriented village (you would probably dig it). Your stuff looks better than ever and the knife you sent me is way cool. Did you get any interesting comments on the cov art? Good or bad I'd love to hear.
Later-

Wow, that sounds so cool. One day I will make a big USA road trip, and I will see the place :) (Smile) No, didn't get any comments, never did for any of the graphics on any album, I guess people only want to talk music with me :P (Lick) I recently made finally a double album where there was a remixed version of the Kotiin haltiakansan luo, with your gfx printed inside the sleeves, otherwise the case had my own stuff.. Throw me with an address, I'll send you a few.

Hi! We've met on Trimurti this summer. It's nice to meet you here) You are as beautiful artist as a musician. It's great when in person everything is so balanced!

Your work is absolutely beautiful (actually... I joined deviantART just so I could comment and say that). I really love the natural look/elements of your designs.

Also, it really makes me want to learn metal-working. XD

taika-kim In reply to giftofthefae [2011-05-23 19:18:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words a lot!

Maybe you should ;) (Wink) Find a school, or somebody who can teach you, maybe there's some short courses around where you live?
