At MXskinz, it started out with two people skinning like crazy, and then as time went along, so many wonderful talented people have contributed to the site to make it the variety that it is!

Here as a big thanks to each of them, MXskinz will feature a skinner each month or so! Thanks so much to all of them!

Website URL: http://misanthropia.net

Hobbies: Webdesign, graphics, coding, listening to "metal", reading, playing synths, spending time with my brother and friends..

Do you have a favorite skin?: Yes, "Spore" for Winamp by Monaux.. I've been using it for almost a year now.. Then there's "Cthulhain" for Blackbox/Fluxbox which I use on my server.

How did you get interested in skinning?: I've always been interested in "art".. I try out most kinds of computer-related ways of creating graphics, like drawing with a wacom or modelling in 3d. But photomanipulation has really caught me since it combines my fascination of nature, darkness.. I think it describes me well as a person. I just happend to make them wallpapers because it's nice dimensions to work with and.. people end up using them, which in turn gives me critisism and help me develop. Now though I work in 1.5 ratio dimensions, allowing for print.
