I found Bored Panda during the pandemic, and it was my ray of sunshine in the middle of all the depressing chaos around me. I've been hooked ever since.
Bored Panda was also my first exposure to digital art, a whole new medium for me. I used to paint (oils and acrylics) but eventually it became an expensive hobby I couldn't afford, but I missed expressing myself in art and finding a way to shout without shouting.
Anyway, I am still learning this medium, but I hope you enjoy some of my creations below, mostly focused on societal issues. I also do fantasy art and surrealism, and working on putting some of the designs on products and hoping it will take off one day.
