If I had to sum up myself in a quote, I think that would be it. Ever since I could remember, I have always been daydreaming, lost in my own secret world. And even at a young age I have expressed my imagination through drawing. Unicorns, mermaids, and beautiful princesses would appear on any piece of paper that wasn't kept away from my trusty Crayola markers and I.
Flash forward seventeen years later and I still haven't stopped drawing. And those little unicorns and mermaids? Yup, they still decorate my notebooks when I should really be studying. But it's still safe to say that I have grown out of those Crayola markers. At least for now. :) Nowadays, I am a student at my city's community college taking basic courses and then transferring to an art school to earn a bachelors in Graphic Design. My dream is to someday become an illustrator for children's books. Many illustrators such as my wonderful aunt Virginia Roeder; and Trina Schart Hyman are just two of my many inspirations for reaching this goal.
In honor of the new year, I have decided to start a blog to record the process of my artwork and present it to whoever is interested in looking at it. And perhaps I'll also write about whatever will catch my fancy. Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading! :)
These two peices are actually from last year, but I just wanted to give y'all a sample of my artwork. You can see more at http://purplemango1.deviantart.com/gallery/
