Who?

Hello!

My name is Martha (Bratumil), I am from Hamburg Germany. People (online) will know me as a variation of the word “Tinta”, “Monedula” or simply Martha. I am specialized in animal, (dark) fantasy illustration, fine art, and concept art. Though I have been to art and design classes I still consider myself self-taught with the help and encouragement of online art communities (DeviantArt) and the people around me. I’m also into photography and writing. I took many low-paying jobs and am still paying off my student loans to have the opportunity to study design back then. Today I dedicate myself to my passion for art. 

Maybe I’ll add more to this in my journal someday. 😊

I live in Germany, Lower Saxony with my husband.

“People always say that artists don’t really „work“ and therefore don’t “live”. Has it ever occurred to you that this is how we creative people feel about the rest of the world?”
