Hello there! I guess I'm just trying to get back on my feet with drawing now since I've been pretty inactive for a while. I've been more focused on writing music and fashion and beauty stuff lately. You?

Oh man, I need to learn to play music. I have an acoustic guitar that I've had for.. god, I don't even know how long! Several years at the least; I need to learn to play it! I toyed with it originally but I have been meaning to learn music for a while. Same as how to sing without sounding like I'm dying (though my family says I'm good...) haha!
Fashion~? Ooh lala, I have a sweet spot for fashion! An obsession with menswear really! I have a blog for aesthetics with about 90% being male fashion, mostly suits, but some other things haha. I'll drool over a gorgeous pinstripe any day <3
I've been struggling with my own demons, but past the little bad things going on I've been honestly great! Same as usual; drawing, video games at times, etc etc

I have a passion for singing and playing violin, and it's a dream of mine to become a performer, so I've been writing my own album. It's all basically a story of unrequited love, just with a very dark and messed up twist, since I'm so obsessed with that. I plan on making many paintings to go along with it as well that I'll hopefully be able to make into an art book. I want to try finishing some music of course before putting myself out there, however it's all pretty stressful trying to think of how I'm going to get myself noticed, and who could perform with me since I'm going to have people dressed as the characters from the story and act as them on stage while I perform the music. It's quite a lot of characters, 11 to be exact, 12 if you count mine, plus, you know, money for all the outfits I have to make and buy and set design and paying the people performing with me. Ugh, it's a harsh realization knowing how difficult it'll all become eventually, but I'm trying my hardest.
I mainly have an interest in Japanese and Korean fashion and makeup, especially in kawaii and aegyo culture. I've been planning on making a fashion blog for sharing my outfits and stuff. I also want to make a beauty channel on YouTube, but I need a decent camera and I have to save up for that, which is one of the many reasons why I should draw, so I can open commissions to make more money for all this stuff. So there's been quite a bit going on in my life currently. A lot of big plans that I pray work out in the end.

Oh man, that sounds lovely though!! To start with youtube you could make the song and do scrolling images (similar to a PMV/AMV) with the song playing for publicity; maybe album cover-like images for each song even. I'd be more than happy to listen someday, and I'd definitely share the songs with people!! I bet they'd be absolutely lovely.
I wish you luck!! I don't have many plans myself;
I wanna meet my girlfriend hopefully this summer if she's able to get her license; have a pinstripe suit or any suit really; learn to play guitar; someday move to New York; and finally for a career I'm interested in honestly making my art into my career, but mostly focused on NSFW, as I wanna be a pornographic illustrator for lack of a "real name" for it, ahaha.

Yeah, I think using YouTube would be a great idea. I actually want to start with performing a few songs outside the album first and then start on the album when I'm already a bit known. Still, I wish I had smaller expectations, but I don't, meaning I do not exaggerate when I say I want to become famous. I know there are very bad cons to be just all out famous, but I think it'd just be amazing to be that known and heard for something you love to do. I mean I have plenty of weird and maybe controversial ideas that might get widely noticed, but that's not really how I want to get known.
I do want to be an artist as well. There are way too many occupations I want to have, musician, artist, writer, fashion designer., model...
I've been especially inspired by Trevor Brown, which is how I decided to do the art book. The art book actually came before the album, though the idea for the album came along quite differently (the story of how to thought of the idea is a bit ridiculous actually.) Most the art is going to be pretty explicit. In fact since most of my art now is going to be NSFW, I'm probably going to just shut down my NSFW art blog entirely since I'd have almost nothing on my main art blog. I am a bit scared to start these drawings since I know some people on my blog or dA is bothered by the sexual and very dark, kind of offensive themes, however my art is already pretty absurd (just not absurd enough for me I guess. heh), so I think I'll be fine. 
New York? That's cool! I really want to live in Japan. My sister's boyfriend said he'd take me in a few years, who actually says he wants to live there too. I also really want to visit South Korea and France, or really just have a tour of Europe. For most of my live I wanted to learn French and live in France, and it's still something that sounds very appealing to me, but I decided to change to Japan I've just completely fallen in love with their culture.

I'd love to see your NSFW work, honestly! I've seen your blog before and you were always rather good at it! I enjoy your art because I like the dark, disturbing and constantly story-telling vibe it gives me; it's irresistibly perturbing.
That all sounds absolutely fantastic, and I hope you achieve any/all of them honestly! I've never seen what you look like, though, but I imagine you're probably very lovely in all honesty.
Two of my favorite shows took place in NYC, and my book series has a main town located in New York itself, so knowing more about it would not only help my book series if I didn't write it by then but it'd also make me happier as I'd feel in the show a lot more!
I'd love to go to France, or Japan or Germany! Maybe even Russia, I love cold temperatures so colder places would be very beautiful to me.

I've never really gotten the chance to do an actual detail NSFW painting, most of them were just doodles, so I'm happy I'll be taking this leap. I'm not really sure why I haven't when I've wanted to for a long time. I guess out of low motivation, since that happens a lot, mainly due to school. And thank you very much for your kind words! <3
Japan would be great to go to for me since it's home to many artists, models, and of course fashion that I love. I mean being able to shop at Listen Flavor and Angelic Pretty? Yes please! Plus I'd probably most likely buy out all of the makeup there too. heh I'd love to go to a Trevor Brown exhibition, or just look at all of the art there. I just love Japanese art work, it's such a big inspiration to me, especially Trevor's "baby art" style.

I can honestly see your art going quite far someday, or possibly your music, maybe both considering the goals you have for putting them together!
I looked up Trevor Brown and his art is absolutely wonderful! I'd never heard of him prior, though I don't follow the names of many artists outside of deviantart to begin with. His is very unique, almost adorable with the darkest twists and I love it omg. I've never really seen Japanese artwork aside from the old kind you find on like, Wikipedia and the like.

Him and cassetterecorder are my biggest inspirations. My newer pieces are definitely going to express some of Trevor Brown's influence. I had found him a couple years ago when I saw his art on a Venetian Snares album cover, however kind of recently I've become very much inspired by his art, at least more so than before. I have 4 of his art books and I always take one everywhere I go along with my sketchbook as an anxiety reducer. I ended up finding many amazing Japanese and Japan-influenced art through him and cassette and they are just gorgeous to me. A lot of the art just looks so cute yet surreal, perfect in my opinion.

It'a a devilishly wonderful combination, I've always viewed your art in the same way as I think you view theirs to some extent! Morbid, yet, positively wonderful and gorgeous in it's own perturbed lighting.

Aw, thank you so much! I just love putting innocence in the middle of dark and twisted themes. I really think it often times makes something that is powerful and intriguing to look at.

You're welcome! And it definitely does, it adds a constantly unique feeling no matter how many times dark and cute is mixed.
