Hiii I just wanted to say I really love your art. It’s so unique and i adore looking at it. It makes me feel so calm and lovely :))))) keep up the good work :))))

And I just wanted to ask if you studied art anywhere or if you’re self taught? Either way you’re amazing and great. Also what gives you inspiration to create such wonderful pieces?

thank you I’m hoping to hear back :)))

hi! thank you so much!!

I didn't study art in college I have a multimedia communication degree and I'm now also studying computer engineering so no, no art background :)

I originally got inspiration from other amazing digital collage artists like Frank Moth and taudalpoi, and then I started getting inspiration from retro scifi and vintage book covers. And sometimes I just find an awesome photo that gives me a starting point for an idea.

I just bought a print, I've been meaning to for a while! I spent a little while figuring what to get, I feel all of your digital collages are so neat and love the colors! Did you have any personal favorites or ones you were proud of how it turned out because of the process?

thank you so much! <3

these 3 are my personal favorites because I think they're the closest I've ever gotten to achieving that classic sci-fi look that I love so much. Blue Planet in particular is my favorite, I have a large print of it in my room :)

Hello! Fellow space artist here. I would just like to say, your art is amazing! I’ve never really had the talent to do digital art, and I haven’t ever seen anything like what you’ve made here! It’s so cool.

Your art reminds me of an old book I have, with some vintage astrophotography. That book was the thing that got me interested in space in the first place. Seeing your art brings back such nostalgia for me, personally.

You also seem like a really cool person!

thank you so much for your kind message!

I love vintage space/sci-fi book covers so they're definitely one of my inspirations and it makes me happy whenever people comment on that :)

I saw your pixel art and it looks really cool, keep creating :)

Hi, just found your blog and scrolled through a ways. I need you to know your art evokes such a powerful emotion in me that literally makes my chest ache. I can't even describe it. Growing up, I had these feelings of deep homesickness no matter where I was and being on the wrong planet, wishing so badly to go home. Many of your works remind me of this sensation, and it makes me want to sob until I'm empty, and I mean this in the most positive, complimentary way I can imagine.

I truly cannot stop staring at your art, it is so moving and emotional. Thank you.
