RE: "Introduce yourself" - I'm super excited about the possibility of existing in a Meritocracy

Welcome, I watched the video and I guess there are many artists that totally relate to where you are coming from. I hope your talent and skills find their audience here, and you will get the pay off you deserve.

If I may say so, I was impressed by your library in the video and I tried hard to read the titles in there. ALIEN was the most prominent one of course, The Palace of Florence, Art of Persia, Klimt, Art Nouveau and so many other interesting picks. There is an Egyptian section, too, with several books and I am totally fascinated by it as well. And that black thick book to the right, with the beads, seems like a tome of forbidden lore!

In an older post (my own introduction post), I debated that one can know a person better just by looking at his book collection, and yours is really fascinating. Hope to see more from you soon! And, here is a part of my own collection...

Hahahah I love that so much! Yes it's true. Did you know that in old Hollywood there was a job where someone would come to your home and fill it with sophisticated books so you could impress your guests? It used to be so important to be well read etc. I've often thought that person would lose their job in the world of kindle etc. I still like to actually hold a book in my hand though and there's nothing better than the smell of an old bookshop. As to Giger, I was fortunate to meet him right before his death. He was already pretty out of it though but signed some books. The last documentary of him has a scene in Linz and I'm in the background. Love your books. I'll follow back. :)
