Hello! First post! I started this blog because I want to record my thoughts and process behind projects I'm working on at the moment. There's a lot that goes on in my mind and I have a cathartic need to log it somewhere. I like to journal in real life and thought it's about time I did it with my art and my inspirations behind it. My intentions are to keep this blog relaxed and informal! So forgive me if it goes off on a tangent,, I have no idea where this blog will go. I'm vibin', you're vibin', we're all just chilling.   Uh, Bye!  Ty for stopping by
