........... Wessi Biography
.... Thus the figures bekame more and more, and one day I read about the Tower of Babel -
I finally was able to sort my life and give the creatures a home. I came to Vienna and had the tower in my head, and it was like a snail shell within me and it also became my home. I spoke German, I understood, misunderstood, learned more and understood more, then I recorded it all in my drawings. Then, everyone understood.

PLEASE NOTE:
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
