Biography of Sebastian Theilig

	Biography of Sebastian Theilig In 1978 I was born in Zeulenroda/Germany. Already in the early childhood I had artistic interests like painting, architecture or music. In the age of 7 I began to learn violin. This instrument is with me till today. 1990, I was 12, my home county was searching for a heraldic emblem. I took part in the contest for it - and won! So my sign was to find at the country roads and stamps (even my own school certificates). But mostly I drew people and faces.
In the age of 12 with the emblem
	When I was 14, my teacher of art education said to me, that she was unable to teach anything else to me. She believed, that I was better than the teacher. Beside this I began to compose and got 1996 the Special Prize of the Karpfenpfeifer Award for an own composition. Since 1997 I´m studying music at the Academy of Music "Franz Liszt" Weimar, just I´m getting the Diploma. At the same time I made a high number of drawings and illustrations. Especially I´m glad about the high response to my Harry Potter illustrations. The artistic way is not easy. It is a permanent development. Perhaps in 20 years I will like my pictures from today no more. But perhaps I will be happy about all of them. Who is able to know that?
