Felix Jagl is one of the busiest dreamers out there.Born around 1990 in Vienna, he quickly discovered his love for the English language. Teacher/Clown by profession, he started writing about his dreams and the dark spaces only few beams of light can illuminate. Fascinated by the morbid and weird, Felix quickly realized that in order to reach the light, we must also allow certain darknesses into our hearts. This balance of melancholy and lightheartedness often permeates throughout his work.When he is not too exhausted from dreaming, he likes to make music with his band, play video games and take bizarre photographs. He also loves Hippos.
