Updated Bio

I am a hobby artist, not looking for recognition or to sell my work. I am just doing this to share what I have created and to bring happiness to those who enjoy it.

I love being able to bring my thoughts to life. It could be a funny memory to preserve or a way to express my perspective on a situation.

I am only good at sketching or flat colours, but I appreciate everyone who comes to my page to look at or read my work. Thank you. ^^

The text below is from 2012.

I didn't want to delete it because its a great show of how far I have come.

Well I guess it is time to finally get to the Bio that I have been procrastinating to do for the past 3 days.

Art Preferences:

I love to draw everything and anything that inspires me. I feel there is no limit to my artwork. I do have a specific art style and my tools of the trade is pencils, pens, scanners and GIMP.

I also love photography. Since I lost not only my good camera but the micro chip that held all of the pictures. So time to start new. I mostly take all the pictures with my cell phone now so I will be adding some new pictures soon.
My style in photography is Landscapes, Sky and Animals. My goal is to catch a picture of a shooting star for all those who have yet to see one.

I do love reading anything from mangas to historical books. I love gaining more knowledge and reading up on latest scientific discoveries.
But, what I would love to do the most is to write a book myself. I have many great stories floating around my head I just want to get them onto paper before they fade into the recesses of my mind. Unfortunately I suffer from writers block and when I try to grasp the idea it fades away.
I also wouldn't mind starting up a manga series with someone since I have dabbled with it before and I enjoyed it immensely.

I have done cosplay outfits and like my art I feel there is no limit to the things I can create. If I have the materials and the proper amount of time to do it I can create anything.
So far I have been helping friends out by creating free cosplay outfits for them when they provide me with the proper materials, but I was thinking now on exploring that on a more professional level.

About Me

Well what can I say about myself... hmmm.... I live in ontario and am a hobby artist. My background is Irish, Japanese, Filipino. I have learned to speak a little from each of my backgrounds and would love to meet people who can speak Gaelic, Japanese and or Tagalog who are also willing to help me learn more and speak (or write) it with me.
I would love to get to the point where I could start making money off my art but I guess I will take baby steps for now.
I try to be open minded to everything, I am a huge procrastinator and I always listen no matter if you have something good to say or not. If you see me becoming lazy it means something is seriously wrong. I do disappear from the online world for long stretches at a time and will reappear like nothing changed.
I love reading, creating plushies, creating jewellery, creating costumes, helping out where ever I can, writing, roleplaying, taking pictures, drawing and listening to music.

Goals for DA
~ Become a recognized artist
~ Help out other artist (When I have the means to do so)
~ Become an active participant of the Deviant Art Community
~ Start to sell artwork and skills
~ Meet and befriend at least 50 artist
~ Upgrade membership

I really can't think of anything else right now but if I do I will write it down here.
