I grew up and continue to live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have loved art and animation since I was a little kid. Starting back around 2016, I also gained a huge amount of passion and appreciation towards anime. The stories they told and the art direction was so different from what I had seen before, it immediately engrossed me. I continue to watch new anime, and hope that working conditions soon improve for the passionate people who produce it. So I would say anime and Japan in general has been a huge inspiration for the art I create.
