How did you get into art?

It was a way for me to show my feelings. As someone who doesn't understand feelings, be it my own or others', it was a way for me to show how I felt.

Who are your inspirations?

Studio Ghibli is a big one, as well as anime, Steven Universe, and actually the structures from Europe. They are my favorite things to look at and nit pick.

What would you call your art style?

Cartoon with a realistic twist. But I can also do chibi, more cartoony, or more realistic depending on what's wanted.

What medium do you prefer?

I prefer digital but I also do traditional. Mainly pens and markers, and trying recently with Acrylic paintings.

 

 

 

 

 

 What your favorite piece of art you've done?

Aradia, represents Aries (above)

Do you have a place that inspires you?

Europe and specifically Italy. I grew up there so it's hard not to be.

Do you have a favorite art museum?

No but I love Ripley's Believe It or Not!. When I first saw the upside down building it blew my mind.

Anything else you would like to add?

I love being a part of peoples' work. I'm honestly honoured when someone likes my stuff enough to commission me, like, or comment. It makes me feel like the stuff I do is worth it.

 And of course, what is your favorite color?

Orange :)
