# About me

People call me Blondie.

I was born in Leipzig, Germany and raised in Berlin.

I'm now based in London, UK having completed a degree in Performance Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

I'm on here to show my illustration and manga.

My art mainly deals with eroticism...fetish, sex the female form...etc because it's what my mind is mostly full of...

I like things a little dark and twisted with a dash of humor for shits and giggles.

Current Residence: London
Favourite cartoon character: Doraemon!

yeah i had completely forgotten my old account. when i rediscoveredt it it felt like it really wasn't me anymore and my artwork is very different now. because there are lots of manga/anime appreciators on deviantart i thought id make a new account to show my new pieces, which are still quite manga in a way. you can't get away from old influences i guess.
anyway, thank you for taking the time to find me again. it's very much appreciated!

Thank you! It's always nice to hear that people like your work!
Yeah I love Ai Yazawa's work. She's one of my favourite Manga artists and has influenced me a lot. I guess that reflects in my style.

welcome to DA!
also thanks for your nice comment and !
your art style is reallt intereting. i wanted to say that your art seems to be influenced with indian culture, but it was already written in "artist's comments". anyway, your style is really nice and has a warm touch in it.
