Hi, my name is Andreas Alexander Schroth (hence the “AAS”), and I am a freelance artist from Berlin.

Back in school I dreamt about becoming an artist and to make a living telling stories, developing great artwork and inspiring people. But after being turned down multiple times by the University of the Arts here in Berlin, I became an advertising professional and copywriter instead. 

Don't get me wrong: I liked working for advertising agencies and still love to develop marketing and communication solutions to complex problems. But when I started doing artwork again, after a 10 years break, it felt wonderful. And even more so since a small publisher (whose RPG game "Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century" I absolutely loved and played at the time) liked my work so much that I actually got paid for a true work of passion and love.

Shadowrunberlin.de, the Novapuls ingame newsletter for Shadowrun, the Rabenwelten Blog, monsters of the month for ABOREA, the Vampire Requiem LARP midnightdance.de – I am already putting tons of material, pictures, texts, ideas, maps and characters out whenever I have the time. And I would so much LOVE to spend even more time doing cool stuff in the future.

For this, I need your support. 

In 2017, I quit my day job in marketing and went fully freelance. Marketing still pays most if my bills, but with your support I will increase the time I spend on artwork, world building and fiction even more, until one, faraway day ...................
