“Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way and lose myself into a tale”
Nightwish – Escapist
How it all began…
Back on a sunny day in 2014 I sat on my balcony, enjoyed the sun and listened to my favourite band Nightwish. I suddenly felt the urge to create something that was dedicated to them – as a sort of tribute. So I got myself a sheet of paper and a few pencils. I quickly decided that my darwing should be a portrait of Tuomas – as he was the bands founder, composer and mastermind. I wasnt really sure how to begin as I had rarely ever drawn portraits before. I started scribbling nevertheless and ended up with this.
That portrait had started a fire in me that still keeps burning today and I got strangely “obsessed” with drawing my favourite musicians.
