I’ve been drawing since I can remember but I never actually took it seriously as a career until about senior year of high school and pursued Computer Animation at Ringling College of Art and Design.
I reside in Florida where it can rain and have clear blue skies on the same street on the regular with my wonderful boyfriend, our two yappy pups, and too many fish.
Currently I work as the Art Director at a small company and have too many side hobbies such as sewing, cosplaying, video gaming, and gardening just to name a few. I’m always looking for new experiences and opportunities to grow as an artist and as a human being and Kawaiistarz.com is my new digital playground.
What is Kawaiistarz? It’s a username I came up with when I was about 10. I was just starting to learn html on my own, ms paint, and had gotten my very first email account with JUNO. I had just gotten into Sailor Moon and I liked to draw cute things and somehow melded it into “cute stars” because I wanted to create cute characters like the show I loved. Another fun tidbit is that “kaway” in Tagalog means to wave so in a way, my handle is both a cute star and a hello star! The rest is history.
