“Who am I? Why did I start this blog? Who am
I?...oh wait. I already asked that. Let's us start with that one, it's a
persistent question indeed.
First Question: Who is TJ?
Tadaa! That is me! Yes. that was pretty
obvious.
The very first ‘About me’ page started with
this: "So, at the moment I'm a Master Sociology student with many hobbies
(hopefully I can edit this soon in GRADUATED!)."...
Yeah, when I wrote this page for the first
time, back in 2009, I was a Master Sociology student. Things happened and
decision had to be made. I'm someone who usually pulls through even though
things may get difficult. So when I felt that it was time to end my studies, I
just didn't have the courage to do so. But I kept hitting my head on a rock and
even though it was a very difficult decision, it was the right one to make! If
you’re interested to know more, do have a read: Time For A Change. Other than
that nothing has really changed though. I still love being creative and to cook
& bake things. I'm still drawing, writing and making sketches. Only change
now is that I can call myself an artist, an illustrator. I am chasing my dreams
and doing the best I can to fulfill them. I am truly grateful for this!
Second question: Why did I start this blog?
Truth is...it was a random action on a random
day. I did write a post about it...somewhere in the past. You can find it here.
But I didn't have a plan in mind nor did I know what I would do with it. I only
had this vague idea that I would post some occasional doodles on it. The
occasional doodles became permanent from the start hehe. I can't imagine a post
without a quick sketch and I guess that is the only thing consistent on my
blog. I like to tell stories and random observations from my life. In other
words...I ramble about a lot of things. I hope you will enjoy it!
Have to say, blogging gave me so many new
opportunities and chances. It gave me new perspective and the courage to pursue
what I love the most and that is illustrating. In a short amount of time, I got
to know a lot of cool and sweet people! I only hope this will continue and I
will do my best to keep my blog entertaining and interesting. I also got
featured and interviewed, to read them just stroll to the Testimonial page.
Third question: What is your drawing style?
The drawing style I use for most illustrations
is called a chibi style. It’s a word used for a Japanese drawing style and in
general it means cute little people. I tend to transform people I know into
chibi's and throughout the blog you will see a bunch of friends transformed
into one (e.g. the Happy Birthday posts in October 2009). I transformed myself
and my siblings in one as well. Every now and then I will post drawings in
slightly more...ehm what shall I call it...a 'mature' drawing style. The
characters are more mature and well I have to use more drawing techniques.
You can read several posts to get to know more
about me. If you want that is, no pressure (read...read it all...read I say...)
Let's continue.
To get to know a bit more about the subject of
my Master thesis, I suggest to have a look at the following post. I didn’t
finish it, but the subject was quite interesting:
What's my thesis about?
To get to know more about my love for art, have
a look at this:
Why I didn't choose Arts when I was younger.
Just Keep Doodling
To have a sneak peek at my desk, have a look at
this post (I need to update this as my desk changed over time!):
My Desk, a natural mess.
Last but not least, I answered a couple of
questions from quizzes and told a bunch of random things about myself. These
posts can be found here, here and here.
Since my content varies so much, I can only
suggest to browse through my blog and read whatever appeals to you. Or just
look at the drawings haha. You can also go to my Flickrstream for this.
Feel free to leave comments on older posts and
if you have questions, I suggest you have a look at the given comments. Maybe I
already answered a few questions. If not, you can leave a comment. I reply to
all my comments. And if you're still worried that I won't reply to them...just
send me an email tjlubrano@live.com ^_^.”
