Happy New Year!

2025 wasn't the best year for me, but the year that showed me very clear which path I want to follow.

The path to becoming a full-time freelance artist.

Your howls worked!📣 The House and Senate passed the FY26 Interior Appropriations bill with NO anti-wolf rider, ensuring funding for the Interior Department through the end of Sep. '26.

Thank you for always standing and fighting for wolves protections. Lets keep the momentum going.💪🐾

"Beauty in the Dark" is the third song I ever produced and published.

It tells a story about still finding beauty, even in the darkest of times.

"Feel Good" is the second song I ever produced and published.

As I'm naturally drawn to the more darker tones of life which often is reflected in my art, I tried to create something that would spread good vibes.

Sometimes I seriously can't be serious.

But how else would I have some disco in the sky?

Wolves are often framed as a polarizing issue, despite widespread support. New research shows political identity can increase division, even when people agree.

Finding common ground and recognizing shared support for wolves may be key to protecting their future.

Americans generally like wolves − except when we’re reminded of our politics
New research shows how identity-driven assumptions can turn common ground into conflict.

In 2021, a wolf from the Great Lakes was killed in upstate NY after being mistaken for a coyote.

Wolves can reach NY, but surviving is the challenge. Better identification, reporting, and understanding of our canids are essential if wolves are ever to return and thrive.

It was a wolf: Animal shot in 2021 was not a coyote, scientists say
DNA from an animal shot in 2021 has proven that wolves do occasionally traipse into New York.

I am,
But I am not.

Be yourself,
But not like that.

Thrive,
But only in chains.

"The Atmosphere Awakens" was the first song I ever produced and published.

With this song I discovered that I enjoy experimenting with beats.

With today being the last day of this year, it was just the perfect time to publish the first text on my website.

With wolf protections under threat, this is a reminder of why wolves matter. The recovery we’ve seen over the past decades was made possible through science-based protections, progress that is now at risk of being undone.

Wolves are not the problem; they are essential and deserve a future.

I always wanted to be a concert photographer.

Music & photography always have been crucial parts of my life. Combining these just seems natural.

For me it's not only about capturing the moment but also emotions, and to pursue my own creativity.

52 years ago, the ESA was signed into law. It has prevented extinction for 99% of protected species, including wolves. Now, proposed rollbacks threaten to dismantle the ESA and erase decades of conservation progress. Protect the law that protects wildlife.

The past months have been heavy on me. My energy was completely drained, I had no creativity in me anymore.

This week it slowly came back and today I even went for a photo walk. I enjoyed it so much!

But I fear that this creative light might go out again once I'm back at work.
