I dedicate this website to all who love life.

Wizardapprentice.com can be viewed as a portfolio website, because that is how it was first introduced in 2005. I made the website as a school assignment around a story and after that kept updating it and adding more work. The link to the story, the comicpage, is still asleep. Curious people might find a way to take a peek inside, though. No questions asked ;)

My name is Melanie. I am a storyteller and an artist.

I graduated from the Utrecht School of the Arts and was granted a Master of Arts in Animation in 2007 as I created project Time And Space. Through Project Time and Space was born the e-comicani. The banners to your upper right on this webpage can show you more on the subject.

As an animator i worked for the Mediamonks. They are no bananas. They make websites. I had a good time mastering my skills and delivering the deadlines.

The wizard apprentice is someone that is still a great deal of a mystery to me. Slowly this story is unfolding about a young girl who learns magic from an old wizard cat in a wheelchair, called The Wheelchair Wizard.

There are many characters and stories living on this website. Wizardapprentice.com represents a great variety of my work and is ever developing. I like sharing what I do with all of you surfers out there. Look forward to more e-comicani's and such in the future and I may happily surprise you.

Inspiration: (to name a few) Akira Toriyama 's work, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jim Henson, Jackie Chan, Usagi Yojimbo, life and heavy metal music.

Future Goal: To grow old and wise to tell all sorts of stupid and strange stories to the younger generations.

I have been drawing as long as i can remember, and consider myself an animating comic artist.
