Artist Statement
Why do people create art that makes people feel unease and terror?
When I first started drawing in junior high I was watching lots of anime. I loved the shows so much that I started to draw the characters. In 9th grade I started to create my own characters and stories for them. I realized I wanted to be an animator/cartoonist to make my creations come to life and for people to love them like I do. Most of my stories are scary so most of my art pieces maintain that same unsettling look. I draw things that scare me like phobias because I know they won't terrify me forever, I will at least feel uneasy.
