I keep forgettingand I keep typing“I don’t know” why? what is it that makes me tick?I want to think its art.but I’fear its not. Art freezes me, paralyses me.Fascinates me, elevates me.But it doesn’t make me tick. Do I even tick? I think, if someone was to ask, what is wrong with me. I would say: rhythm. Or better said, the absence of it. I find myself rhythm-less.without compass.without constancy,without flow.

Like I am trapped in intermittence. Like I am bothered by a mosquito at night. never knowing when its going to buzz right my ear. My emotions are disturbed by unexpected visits. My piece of mind is dependent to the frizziness of my hair.

I cant deal with impulse buying;I cant deal with an unexpected phone call. Because I lack rhythm.

I just don’t know what to do next. So I sit in the corner of my bed and ask myself: “what do you want?” So I wonder to the nearest text box and type: “I don’t know”

I don ,t know

Konstfack University,

My name is Santiago Arciniegas. I’m a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and 18 months

graduate of Social Communications from Universidad Sergio Arboleda. I’m writing to express

my interest in your Masters in Storytelling program at Konstfack University in Telefonplan.

Visual stories have been a major part of my life, as a geek, an enthusiast and as a professional,

I devour these media products; I enjoy writing stories as much as I enjoy creating visuals

for them. Being influenced mostly by the American superhero comic genre, British comic

authors, Japanese manga and the Belgian comic, I find sequential art truly universal. It has

always been my interest to produce my own stories, delve into my own world and create my

own stories.

Ma career has focused in developing this abilities, I studied a five year career where I majored

in social communications with emphasis in Visual media, where I studied both written and

audio-visual expression and product development. I have developed these skills further into

multimedia web design, photography and film; always combining the importance of the

written words and the power of visual media.

I learned about Konstfack University post graduate Storytelling program while browsing the

online portfolio and comic books of Martin Ernstsen. Intrigued I dug deeper to learn more

about what the program offers. The emphasis in sequential art is very appealing as well as the

the analysis and relevance that is given to stories have in the world, make Konstfack University’s

Storytelling program a phenomenal place to expand my knowledge.

Sincerely,Santiago Arciniegas Gómez
