About my blog

Sharing my thoughts of everyday life. I love clothes, so I also post my daily outfits to nearly every post. My style is hard to define, but I like natural, but intensive colors like burgundy, fringes and overload of different accessories.
The second thing -nearest to my heart- which this blog is about is art. Literature & poetry, drawing, painting, design...you name it.

About my art

I'm not really confident with calling my visual stuff ”art”. Just a little reminder.
I started drawing in 5th class of elementary school.  No pathetic clichés, like ”I have been drawing since I was able to hold a pencil”. Blah.

Till today, my style has remained the same. A lot of precise work done by pencils and watercolours, sketching by pen. Combining text and picture. Adding patterns and colouring later on computer.

Top of all that, Yoshitaka Amano is my personal god of art.
