iki Ra

I *hate* to be addressed and reffered to by my real name on the Web. So unless you absolutely luv gettin' on my bad side, please use one of these cutie nicks: iki, iri or dorya.

I graduated from the Art Academy in Belgrade, section Sculpture, however since 2000 I've been working on numerous web design projects, have specialized in copywriting, search engine optimization and Internet marketing. I'm now running my own web hosting business and also work as a freelance writer. Pheww, definitely NOT what I've been studying for!! -_- At least freelance lifestyle allows me to focus on things I deem important, on my own terms.
My project - CyberCity is one of those things.

As a freedom-loving artist, who happens to be busy 24/7 with business-related stuff, I try my best to grab as much of my free time to draw, paint, sculpt and write. I find an inexhaustible source of inspiration in Japanese culture and its artistic heritage. I also enjoy in writing fanfics, writing to my E-mail pals, gaming (World of Warcraft!) Japanese rock music, movies, anime, steampunk, magic, astrology, history and mythology... errr... what else? I'm also into aerobics, aikido, tennis, as well as horseback riding.
Just don't ask about schedule. ¬¬

Oh yes, CyberCity is envisioned as a place when I can combine my business, my interests and enjoy in the process. :)

I'm a hopeless optimist (and hoplessly romantic one, at that - who'd say!), a dreamer, (over)imaginative, proud, stubborn, aggressive only on rare occasions, patient, narcissistic, selective in making friendships, unconditionally supportive, all cuddly and biased towards friends, naughty (yeeey!^^), taciturn, tolerant (unless poked too much; then is bye bye tolerance -_-y), careful observer, firm in beliefs, feels strongly against unjustice and any form of social, mental or religious imposition, righteous (at least trying to be ^^), careless, curious... waaaah, I could go on with this till tomorrow, so I'll stop here.
