Hi everyone!
I’m Andy (he/they), and this is my little corner of the internet where I offer my aesthetics services. I discovered BJDs in 2004, started collecting in 2005, and have been a faceup artist since 2006. Since 2009, doing faceups has become my full-time job.
I’m German, but I’ve lived in the US since 2003. Art has been a dominating force all my life… I got my Bachelor’s degree in multimedia design from the University of Applied Arts in Hannover, Germany, and worked in animation for a while. I also have an MBA in Marketing, which definitely helps these days as the business has grown quite a lot!
I’ve also worked/acted in theater for a few years – call me silly, but I believe that in some ways this helps me with bringing out a doll’s personality in a faceup. ^_^
BJDs have been my joy for a long time now, and I am so glad to have found an amazing creative outlet in them. I have made wonderful friends, learned so much, and become a better artist through this hobby!
When I’m not playing with dolls, I’m usually drawing or reading or writing (I have one book published so far), or playing Dungeons & Dragons with my loved ones. I also enjoy cosplaying, jewelry making, needle felting, and other crafts, and I always have way too many projects going on at any given time. ^_^
