I am a medieval cultural historian. I play several instruments, partake in historical re-enactment and I am fluent in six languages (although one of those is Latin). I enjoy drawing and painting as a way to relax and have a strange obsession with dancers (possibly because I was thrown out of ballet lessons as a child for being too clumsy). Recently I have been focusing on traditional pen and ink, as well as recreating medieval art styles with accurate pigments (except white lead, turns out you can't get that anymore).
