TUPACAMARU

 

 

 

I am a 30-year old US citizen currently traveling the European Triangle with a particular interest in publishing indepedently written work and collaborating with other artists in literary projects. I have a particular interest in writing and publishing using both traditional and contemporary media. My experience includes original writing, typesetting and printing on a traditional offset press in the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany, and electronic publishing of my written work with graphical illustrations in collaboration with a Japanese artist.  I have also independently published my own magazine while studying at UCA in Farnham called 4Room; a proffessioal networking platform for artists looking for longterm creative support.  I am currently networking with artists across the world seeking to create experimental new ways of living.

 

Since leaving high school in the USA in 1999 I have lived, studied and worked in several countries including Germany, Switzerland, and the UK with the purpose of travelling and understanding other cultures.  I have studied in two different countries; Germany and England.   My native language is English and I am fluent in German and Spanish.
