ABOUT MS. CYRUS

Hi! thanx for checking me out... So yeah...this is the bio section...Basically, my quick stats are to the left. As for the more in depth stuff, if you couldn't tell already, i absolutely love art in all forms. i am 100 percent self-taught. All of the program experience I have is from being bored too long and too many times so I messed around on the computer until i got good at something. best part is, it never ends...i am helplessly addicted to learning about every- and anything. i know the most random things...but i like knowledge and creativity =). As for my drawing talent, i'm not quite sure where i got that from...and literally everything that i do (which you can see in the portfolio section) is with mechanical number 2 pencils (haha i know right, but look at what a great job it does). i didn't take any classes for drawing, it's just a natural habit i guess...i'm afraid to see what i can do with 'professional' graphic pencils. =) but yeah, i'm still a baby in the design world. i also absolutely LOVE writing. at the end of the day, as long as i have a pencil, mouse, or brush, i am happy! i have so much growing to do but hopefully this visual expression of my growth thus far will be aesthetically pleasing enough to make you smile and come back :-)
