Curriculum Vitæ
Mag.art. Jörg Vogeltanz
I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans;
I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
(William Blake)
I am a freelance artist, always open for interesting new clients. I work in the field of illustration, graphic design/layout, comics/graphic novels, cross media art and video editing, directing and 2D animations. For some time I have been interested in paranormal phenomena, alternative interpretations of reality and in developing utopian ways for the challenges we'll have to face in this millennium.
