Feeling like an outcast, othered in my own community, art created endless possibilities, made possibilities seem endless to me. My main mediums are writing, illustrations and toy modifications, and I would say that in all of them I am in an experimental phase. I believe my inspirations will always be my own life, the supernatural/fantastical and anime. I feel heavily influenced by all things Japanese, such as art, cuisine, fashion, lifestyle, etc. Writing for me is my only medium that I try to be abstract with and most of my visual art is pretty straightforward. I love color and variety like not being stuck in a box, I feel like I thrive personally in that spontaneity. Though professionally, I do prefer guidelines just because that helps me focus on the purpose of a commission better.
