Hello!
My name is Martha, I was born 1987 in Hamburg Germany. People (online) will know me as a variation of the word “Tinta” or simply MarthaLaufej. (“Laufej” = variation of last name.) I am specialized in animal, (dark) fantasy illustration, and concept art. Though I have been to art and design class I still consider myself self-taught with the help and encouragement of online art communities and the people around me. I’m also into photography and writing. I did a lot of low-wage jobs, to get the chance and study. Maybe I’ll add more on this in my journal someday. 😊
I live with my husband in Germany, Lower Saxony.
