Artist | Student | Traditional Art
I have a love-hate relationship with art. When it's a school deadline, I start detesting it. Once I actually get around to making a drawing or painting, I fall in love all over again. It sounds cliched but art runs through me like blood. When I draw or paint, my senses get heightened, I feel this magical aura around me and for some odd reason I feel close to God. I am insanely in love with watercolours. I literally feel like I'm holding some kind of awesome fairy-dusty power in my hands when I'm painting with watercolours

I love getting messy when painting with acrylics, often absentmindedly cleaning my paint laden brush on my sleeve and knees. Drawing and painting is what makes me me. It's the only thing that makes me feel good about myself.
Currently a graphic design student, and can I say, TYPOGRAPHY ROCKS D:
Interests
Favorite visual artist
Muller-Brockmann, Saul Bass, Ludwig Holwien, Lucian Bernhard, Belinda Eaton, Ather Jamal and I get attracted to hard work and effort in any artwork.
Favorite movies
Tangled. It is like a drug to me :D Miyazaki movies and movies which make me notice the work that went into it, like Avatar etc. Also like brainless movies in which I don't have to think much (I watch these to relax)
Favorite TV shows
How I met your Mother, Chuck, Desperate Housewives, Castle, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Smallville, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Lost, and many more!
Favorite bands / musical artists
Not a musically inclined person. I randomly like this and that, nothing in particular. I do, however, need music badly when working in my artschool to block out the rest of the world to concentrate.
Favorite books
Trashy feel-good fluff. I also have kind of forgotten how to read. Used to be a complete fiction bookworm before, now usually don't have the patience to complete novels, usually leave them halfway after reading the last few pages to know the ending.
Favorite writers
Jilly Cooper, Katie Fforde, Harry Potter, Meg Cabot and Jeffery Deaver. And all those kickass writers who write kickass graphic design/typography books. LOVE.
Favorite games
Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja.
Tools of the Trade
Pencils, Watercolours, Acrylics, Oil Paints, Charcoal pencils, Pastels, Inks.
Other Interests
I have peculiar habits. For one, I love hanging pretty things from threads everywhere in my room. I love collecting pretty ribbons and anything that catches my eye I cut it out and store it in a folder.
