Jon Th. Johannsson
| Jon was born in Iceland in 1977. Since then he has lived in three countries, attended twelve schools and lived in twenty-nine different places. Most of that time he has spent on the south-west coast and western fjords of Iceland, the Swedish river lands and the east and west coasts of Jutland, Denmark. He spent a considerable part of his childhood lurking around libraries and reading old-school analogue books – that is – when he was not disassembling clocks, teasing his little sister, making homemade explosives or trying to dissect the neighbors’ pets… In his early teens he started reading science-fiction novels and subsequently got sucked into the wonderful world of computers and natural science and has been a nerd ever since. He got his first Internet connection in 1994 and the World suddenly became very small. Since then he has thoroughly enjoyed the second Renaissance of Man in the Information Age. In his late teens, he discovered 3D graphics, girls, sports, role-playing games and game-engines. Since then he has acquired a taste for product design, architecture, usability, innovation, human factors and hypermedia. With all this at his fingertips, he is never bored and as a result, thereof, he has not owned a TV-set since 1999. The place, in which he has lived the longest in later years, was the beautiful Danish city of Aarhus, where he finally finished his studies. At this moment, he is currently living in the Danish capitol of Copenhagen.
The World is his playground and he is here to stay. When all that is said and done, Jon spends most of his free time on trying to be creative, hanging out with his friends, grabbing a couple of beers when the moon is in the eighth house of Aquarius and reading a lot of books. He is also struggling to find the time to work on his web comic, albeit painfully slowly. He listens to strange music, really likes sarcastic dark humor and weird art. Outside His Free Time™, Jon builds web-sites, conducts mysterious 3D experiments where strange and wonderful things are created in computers and printed in plastic, he also constructs annoying flash things and deigns to code when it cannot be avoided. If you have not guessed it by now, Jon is a multimedia nerd. Since he was nine years old, Jon has more or less always had some form of a job. These include IT-Specialist, Concept Developer, Farm hand, Factory worker, Bartender, Assistant Teacher, Pizza Delivery Boy, Sanitation Technician, Sheep Herder, Window Washer, Driver, Store Clerk, Bouncer, Male Stripper, Metal Worker, Multimedia Designer, Painter, Graphical Designer, Workshop Assistant, Masonry Assistant, Construction Worker, Kitchen Worker, Technical Advisor, Party Planner, Lecturer, Landscape Entrepreneur and Actor. Never a dull moment… There are many goals he wants to achieve in his lifetime, many places he want to see and many things he wants to create. Amongst these are: Jon is just a simple man, from a simple country, with simple customs and simple needs. He sings, he dances, sacrifices small furry mammals to his evil gods and is fueled by coffee and the gentle radiation from his computer monitors. |
