What to say? I've been working on becoming a professional illustrator since I was small. I'm a little crazy, and I haven't gotten to the professional level yet, either. It was a dream of mine to draw for money, but I gave that up a little while ago and started pursuing my interest in math. Yes, math.
I'm an artist (duh) and musician. I play quite a few instruments, including the fiddle and vocals. I am a long-time college student, due to the fact that I keep switching majors. My boyfriend is a sword-buff and botanist, and my best friend makes her living as a professional framer... What else can I say?
If you feel like leaving flames, go ahead. I'll probably just laugh at you.
I am a fan of Mucha. Who isn't? But to answer your question properly: I think there comes a time in many artists' lives when they wish to try their hand at Art Nouveau style. My latest series "Spirits of Music" is my own try at this genre. I've never done anything like them before, and I'm not too sure about after (though I'm having lots of fun).
