My Bio
Art is one of those things that you are allowed to do "whatever" without any sort of constraint or rules (though I am not saying that they are not exceptionally important); it's pure freedom, an aspect of life that is vague in definition but surely exists. Art allows me to be the pure essence of myself; I do not have to pretend or hide, it is all out there to see. I cannot say that I am "good" or in any way an artist, but I am a "creator" of sorts if that counts for anything, whether it be considered good or bad is of no consequence to me. My creations exist. They feel and tell stories that can at least capture interest

Finding Oneself

0 min read
I have been experiencing a "dry-spell" for some time now; everything just sort of feels meaningless. Every time I sit down to draw nothing comes, there is no longer a spark of inspiration to drive me to create something real. Trying and going nowhere is infuriating, and I'm not sure how to fix whatever this is. I think it has more to do with the fact that I've lost more than my imagination, but a piece of myself that drove me to create in the first place: misery. I was miserable for so long that all I knew how to draw was misery, and now that I'm happy and actually have a life worth living and working for, there is nothing for me to draw.

My cute, little business card for Anime Weekend Atlanta. I am extremely excited to have this opportunity, but I am terrified by the concept of failure; this is the first time I have ever put my image out there in a manner of merchandise. I hope I can do this.
