My name is Thomas Silkjær and I am currently living in beautiful Aarhus, Denmark, with my wife and daughter, while working as a professional graphic designer in a small design agency, specialized in book design, especially Bibles and hymnbooks.

Side hobbies include photography, web design and web development which should be clear from my personal website at theundersigned.net.

I can often be found active on Twitter, Flickr and Vimeo.

I couldn't resist mentioning this little project here.

I can't wait to try this "full-size"! I will of course be posting pictures as soon as we have made the first book with this exciting feature.
