Hi everyone!
I’m Andy (they/he), 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 tabletop rpgs 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. ^_^
