About
This blog is supposed to be a showcase for stuff I do in my free time. My Name is Thomas Novotny, I was born in 1987 and live in Vienna, Austria. I am a traceur, acrobat, cartoon artist, costume builder, dancer, photographer, dancer, slackliner and student of media design. My life is full of adventures, travels and exciting things I try out.
I’m not a consumer, I enjoy doing and creating things, and I enjoy meeting people who inspire me.
I have quite some Interests, which include:
Drawing
It’s a nice and relaxing thing to do, and I love how alot of personality flows into each drawing. I mostly draw cartoons, inspired by 40s animation.
le Parkour
I love it because it’s non-competitive, gives me alot of challenges and is fun to do!
Freestyle Acrobatics
I enjoy doing flips, kicks and twists. I can’t describe how incredible it feels.
Photography
It started in early 2007 when I bought my first digital SLR. It wasn’t long until I discovered what real photography was – capturing impressions and making them available to others instead of just taking cool pics of random stuff. I started to think about composition before taking each photo. I inherited alot of analog Cameras and Lenses (which I can also use on my digital SLR) from my Grandfather, who is dead already (I bet he would be so lucky to see me taking wonderful pictures with his equipment). With all this stuff I started doing analog photography too which has its own charme. Photography is comething I can constantly improve on, and good photos make people happy.
Animals
Of course, especially when they’re cute!
