about me!

i spend the vast majority of my time at home, working on projects. my love for computers and digital art goes way back; when i was a kid, i used to spend a lot of time doodling in MS Paint on Windows 98, borrowing HTML books from the library, daydreaming about making my own websites.

i love to study art and design. my current interests lie in art nouveau, art deco, and 80s/90s anime. to be honest, i haven't watched very much anime until very recently (2025!!) so it's been really interesting! there's so much out there to watch. i especially love to browse artbooks from different character designers and illustrators.

outside of art and computers - i have a deep love for makeup and fashion design. decorating myself is a form of enrichment to me. what can i say - it's fun to dress up, and play around with different color combinations and aesthetics!

tulip the cat

reference sheet for an anthropomorphic cat. their name is Tulip, and they have pink and black long hair. they're wearing a black high-necked tank top, black fingerless gloves, long teal pants, and a pair of black platform lace-up boots. they're holding a cane as well.

they're a relatively recent invention, actually... i've struggled to really "connect" with the concept of making a fursona. part of it is, i have a very strong connection with my own body; i think that's probably really uncommon among trans/nonbinary people. but i have already willingly shaped my physical form into something that makes me happy. so... i didn't have much interest in intentionally creating an "alternate" or "idealized" form.

but lately, i've been playing around with the idea more, and it's been a lot of fun for me. i love my silly cat! i love that they're an outlet for me to explore being goofy and confident and going kittymode. and also i can vicariously enjoy wearing docs through them. (they kill my feet.)

it's important to me that they have a cane, too. they're an extension of myself, after all!!
