I am a 23 year old British digital artist based in North Wales. Art has been my passion since I was very young, and it still never ceases to amaze me. With only a few tools and a universe of colours, I can try to make something that hopefully connects people from all over the globe. I often find inspiration everywhere I look, and I’m constantly sat thinking: “That’d be great as a drawing!”
My main collection is called my ‘World Building Series’, and its name suits it well. Using my art, I create a fantasy world filled with varying creatures, like satyrs/fawns, giants, elves, and fearies, in a variety of different locations that all connect together in some way. I often leave parts of other art pieces hidden in the artwork.
I do have other kinds of artwork, including comics! I am, however, a huge nerd, and I have loved Sci-Fi and Fantasy since I was a kid. Growing up, I would often write my own stories, draw my own characters, and create worlds inside my head. Not much has changed, really.
Other hobbies of mine include; reading, knitting, engineering/robotics, music (rock is my favourite genre, though I’m open to most), the outdoors, sailing, and DIY. More recently, I’ve started playing D&D. I’m incredibly new to it, but I really am enjoying it. The amount of ideas it has given me for my art is shocking (the homebrew I’m currently a part of has parts that was inspired by my world building artwork, too).
I am also a part of the LGBT+ community. I don’t particularly hide it, since there are a few places on my site that hint heavily at it, but I feel better making sure that this next sentence is known. You’re safe here.
When I was 14, I was taken out of public education and have been home educated ever since. From then on in, my education was never like the school environment I was used to. As well as being continued to be taught a vast range of subjects (English, Welsh, Maths, Physics, Engineering and Robotics, etc), my mum wanted to make sure we learnt how to learn on our own.
As a result, I do love learning and I aim to learn something new every day. I am currently learning graphic design and web design, and I have made many thumbnails for a few YouTube channels. I often support PMC Media Solutions and Emmetelle Music, and I am a partner in running Rocking Sprocket and Bailey Robotics.
I am still learning and growing as an artist and a person, so my art spans in many different areas and subjects. Eventually I want to be able to draw for Indie Games, and I am working toward that goal every day.
