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?
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.
I think, if someone was to ask, what is wrong with me. I would say: rhythm.
Because I lack rhythm.
Or better said, the absence of it.
So I sit in the corner of my bed and ask myself: “what do you want?”
I find myself rhythm-less. without compass. without constancy, without flow.
I just don’t know what to do next.
So I wonder to the nearest text box and type: “I don’t know”
, I don t know
I keep forgetting and I keep typing “I don’t know”

Konstfack University,
January 16, 2012
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
