The Spark

My own creativity and style came about when I read a lot of comics when I was just a kid. I remember tracing out my favourite pokemon with rice paper I snatched from the kitchen. I would trace them out an indulge on their cute little designs and cool superpowers.

Throughout, I began thinking about making my own characters. To me it felt like as though I was like god for a moment when I drew out my first few simple characters. Soon after that, I took after the idea of it when I learned that some cartoonist drew whacky characters because it was the only medium that gave their ideas life.

By the time I reached 13, I began trying out other mediums to play around with my work. I improved, but not because I thought I needed to. I just had a lot of fun with what I did.
Currently, my preferred form of mediums are traditional pen and paper. My tools of the trade include but not limited to Fountain pens, Rapidographs, Markers and Brush pens.
