Hi! If anyone is still watching me, I came back! x_x
I abandoned my account a long time ago, because for some reason I decided SheezyArt was dumb--I totally forget why, but I'm sorry! I have a DeviantArt account now, but the experience is so much different. I think I prefer the Sheezy community, so I decided to be active here again and see if that's true ^^
Whatever happens, I'll keep both. I'm thinking about continuing to post sketches here, and only posting my most skilled work at DA.
Education: B.A. in Digital Media Technology from Columbia College Chicago, May 2008
Influences: Gothic Lolita and Ouji-kei (Prince style), shoujo manga, Naoko Takeuchi, Kaori Yuki, Mitsukaz Mihara, Tomoko Taniguchi, Aya Kato, Yoshitaka Amano, Lareine and other first-wave Visual-kei bands (Kote-kei?), Oshare-kei, anime from the 90's, Edgar Allen Poe, Aubrey Beardsley, Oscar Wilde, fantasy literature like Anne McCaffrey's Pern series, Wiccan and Neo-pagan lore, Greco-Roman mythology... ...and of course, my high school and college art teachers ^_~
Artist Statement:
Duality and paradox are my muses. I'll dabble with visuals that are vivid, cheerful, and childlike only to destroy them with darkness and distress. I can make a painting that is painfully realistic, or computer graphics that are simplified and stylized—or an illustration that somehow combines both. Nothing satisfies my creative expression more than the juxtaposition of opposites.
