# About me
My artist name is Nemo Valkyrja ("ja" = "ya" sound) and means Valkyrie in old Norse. My heritage is Norwegian and I love mythology, so I think it's a good fit :)I graduated with dual Bachelor's degrees in Japanese and Asia Studies and lived abroad in Kyoto, Japan.
I started going to conventions in 2003, but was not an active cosplayer until 2007. As of late 2011, I've made around 12 costumes and certainly have some unfinished ones... (I'm slow!) I am not a "professional" cosplayer (does that even exist?).
I fell in love with photography in 2010 and own both Nikon and Canon DSLRs. I've been buying equipment gradually - and, like cosplay, I enjoy learning and experimenting as I go.
I'm not interested in promoting myself so please don't do it for me. I am not a model and I do not want to be. I do not want money or fame. I do not do nude work. For some reason, this is a hard concept for people to grasp but I assure you, it is as simple as that. I just like having my page here. I like dabbling in art and learning new things. I love following the amazing work by artists on this website! I want to share the work I do with fellow artists in artist communities. I want to collaborate with other artists too!
Please do not use, reproduce, manipulate or otherwise utilize my work without permission. Thank you!!

My wife still asks me some what frequantly if you would be willing to sell prints of your violin sieres. She absolutly loves them and would like to hang them on the wall in her music room. I know that you have said probilby not in the past, but when the wife asks I don't tell here no. Just wondering if you have reconsidered at all? *crosses fingers*

Love your work, and I admire both your talent and your ability to portray it! Would love to see more of your dabbling.
Also, Nightwish is awesome, and Nemo has to be my favourite song of theirs.

Have you seen the Kotaku article about people criticizing Felicia Day by using your photo? It's horribly maddening that woman get treated like this.

Nemo - I admire your work, and wonder if there will be more to come. And then tonight, I saw an ad for Syfy to put up a new series "Heros of Cosplay".
Will you be participating?

Would you mind if I fall in love with the concept of you, have a dream about you, letting it be my wings... Letting it be my shackles.
I know you probably hear this a thousand times, but where-ever you go, bear in mind; There you are. Also you're hot. <3
Do you play the violin well?

Oh also; I found a picture of you some year ago, it was just someone stealing it (and I knew this) but the eyes made me fall in love somewhat so I drew it.

I had an idea! Photo set about the myth surrounding Psyche, the woman more beautiful than Aphrodite. That one is a personal favourite.

Hi! I read your bio..thingy...and it said you like mythology? If that's true whats your favorite civilization? I'm guessing your big on Norse since that's your heritage. My favorite is Greek Myth. I just love Theseus, Perseus, Hercules, and all of their heroes. The stories are just fascinating!
