Hello!

Postby Ilian Velikov » Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:05 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm Ilian Velikov, 23 years old, from Bulgaria.

I'm an artist, but since I was a little kid I'm interested in nature and biology, and I have a passion especialy for reptiles. Since than, I'm constantly reading about herps,observing them,collecting data and photos of these animals. Of course, I've kept a few animals through the years and I'm keeping a Turner's Thick-toed Gecko (Pachydactylus turnerii), now.

My profession is an animator and character designer for animated movies...in other words I make cartoons. :mrgreen: I live together with my gitlfriend, Elena, for several years and we go to excursions and herp trips whenever we can find some free time!

P.S. Besides the cartoons, I also draw any type of images including scientific drawings of reptiles and amphibians, so if anyone is making a book and needs to hire an illustrator, feel free to contact me! Here is just a little sample of my work:

Have a good time herping and be responsible out on the field!
