Hi, my name is Theo (or Iris depending on what name you know me by), and I am a junior in SLAM. I've joined this academy to learn and grow on my own art journey as well as sharing small fun little stories and curiosities I have about our universe. I am currently an almost 3-year self taught artist--which I will be in November. Art has been my way of speech and escape for a while. I'm overall pretty quiet and don't really express much verbally which has gotten me into situations where people tell me "Oh, express yourself more!" or "Put out more emotion!" It angers and annoys me a lot. Aside from that, as you can see in many places, I really love dragons. I use them a lot in my art along with cultures so I can try out newer things and look further into ethnicities that aren't just mine, though I do still use Chinese culture in my art. It's still fun looking into everything though.
