it's me yet again

some time ago...

July.29.2009

When not reading books in our library, I play video games day in and day out as a young boy. The story that was narrated to me is more than that of a storybook, the game play triggered my imagination the way my Lego did. I grew endeared to the characters, it's like little Christmas every time I unfold a chapter of their tale. Needless to say, it became the biggest influence in my style both in visual and literary.

It wasn't long enough until I became aware how rich the culture that I grew up in is—and suffices to say, I became a product of my environment.

Being such, it made me want to return the favor to the world that helped me develop my style, letting people see through my design in story and form how beautiful it is as I make my environment be a product of me.

...and the princess flashed her smile.
