I was born in Thessaloniki, in Greece. I graduated from the Architecture Dept of the Polytechic School, of Aristotelian University in Thessaloniki.

I mainly write and design my own stories and have published my work in many magazines in Greece (To five, Playboy, Close Up, etc.). I also illustrate books and CD covers.

I use all the traditional painting methods, as well as PHOTOSHOP 5.5, ILLUSTRATOR 8, PAINTER 5, 3D STUDIO MAX 3, PREMIER 5.0 and QuarkXPress, on my Mac G3.

I have participated in many comics exhibitions, in groups or individually.
I work as an architect and also as a scenografer for the theater and for the State TV and other private channels.

I teach in a School of Arts in Thessaloniki (Applied Arts Studies), in the department of comics. I'm also the art director of the fanzine "ZEPELLIN". I established the theater group "ACHTHOS", to give performances and to make installations with a comics aesthetic.

I want to publish my work in magazines of other countries, to contact with other people and to send my mind around the word.
