Here are some super fun and creative art techniques you should try. They're sure to spark your imagination, and who knows? You might just discover your new favorite medium!

All my life I have always had a passion for art and design. I was always drawing, coloring, or creating something. After highschool I continued that passion into college and recieved a bachelors degree in art and design. As of now I have had art published in magazines, featured in stores for purchase, in art shows, created logos for businesses, and now designing art for print on demand products or digital downloads. I also design journal covers for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Not to mention countless craft projects. This list has my favorite designed products, art I love that inspire me, and supplies to start designing on your own. It is never too late to follow your passion, just take that first step and go for it.

My grandma used to put on K-dramas for me when I was a child. She'd buy them from a store in Chinatown, and they'd be dubbed in Cantonese. I didn't become obsessed with K-dramas until I was 12 and discovered Boys Over Flowers, a classic K-drama. To be honest with you, I wouldn't like the drama now as an adult. However, as a middle school student, the drama changed my brain chemistry. It ignited my love for K-dramas. As someone who's been watching K-dramas for years, I've compiled a list of K-dramas I've watched and my reviews.
