Wowee, first blog post! Guess I should introduce myself. My name is Layne, a Filipina-American living in the Bay Area, CA, USA. I've had this website since 2002, but been making sites since around 1997.

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I used to doodle a lot when I was a little kid. Making little comics starring cats and stuff back in elementary school. In high school, I discovered anime and manga and have been a fan ever since. My style is definitely influenced by it, but I'm not one to "try" to make it look Japanese. Just trying to make stuff look how I want with my own touch. I also was a big fan of street art and tagger style lettering, which shows in my current illegible handwriting. I went to college and started with an art degree, changed it to Computer Science, and then later added Multimedia art as a minor. I graduated in 2002 from CSUH which is now known as CSUEB. After I graduated, I continued to take art classes at DeAnza and Academy of Arts. And then for a couple years, I kind of just stopped.

I had been reunited with an old art buddy of mine recently and because of him my love for drawing and art has found new life. (Thanks, mic?!) One day we went to an art supply store, bought some sketchbooks, and I've been filling it up ever since! So yes, I have now have new content to post in here. This poor website had been collecting dust over the years. It was about time for a revamp! Hope you all enjoy it!
