I make my living as an artist and work mostly in metals. I used to be an electronics technicien/computer guy. Now I apply my techinical apptitude and skills to questions of metalurgy and metal smithing. I supplement my income by buying stuff locally and reselling it on Ebay. I'm kind of a hippy basically and apart of what I do for a living, I've got loads of hobbies and interests--like Amigas and computer graphics. The metalurgy and metal art started as a hobby and has evolved into a small business that I can make a living at.
