Hi!
This is the part where I'm supposed to tell you a little about myself. These "who am I"-parts of the homepages are always popular amongst the homepage surfers out there, and since I would hate to disappoint you I have also made one on my page...

My real name is Jakob Kramer Hero, but when I draw, I only use Jakob Kramer - both because Hero is a name I have only recently added after marrying, so many people simply only know me as Jakob Kramer, but also because I try to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings... I'm only one comma away from being "Jakob Kramer, Hero"... and that would be too much, now wouldn't it?

I'm 35 years old, and work as a freelance illustrator & animator. If you feel like reading all the naked facts about me, I recommend reading my cv (all those not interested would be bored stiff if I wrote it all here). I will however tell you that my main interests are drawing, telling stories and working with children (well, some call it work). It's fairly easy to combine these interests, even though I'm not drawing children's books all the time!

I've asked Rachel to keep an eye on my homepage when I can't be here to read your messages and suggestions. If you want to write her, just use my email address and let the subject be "Rachel".

When I'm not doing anything else, I work as a researcher for The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. We are currently doing research on The Earth, so feel free to visit my research page on the net, if you want to.

You can also take a look at my photo album.

I wish you a pleasant stay at my homepage!
