Hello! I'm Mister Minutes; I'm a digital artist, movie lover, and all-around clown. Drawing is one of the first things I can remember doing, period. I've always loved designing characters, any excuse to draw cool clothes really. I always knew I was good at drawing, but a few years ago I had a bit of an identity crisis where I became frustrated that my artistic ability didn't match the things I saw in my mind; I didn't have the skills to really bring my ideas to life in a way that satisfied me. I knew I had to go back to basics and start learning how to draw properly rather than how I'd sort of been "winging it" my whole life. Oops.
That's still an ongoing process; you never stop learning art, and I know my skills aren't 100% where I want to be just yet, but I've definitely improved! (Getting diagnosed with ADHD and getting on the right medication definitely helped with all this.) Along with improving my drawing skills, I've also been developing some other hobbies: wood carving, painting, writing HTML, and some more fun stuff! With this site I want to post my art: my digital drawings, photos of my physical art, maybe some short stories I've written, along with just sharing my thoughts in some blog posts here and there! I hope you enjoy my stuff, thanks for stopping by!
I LOVE 90's anime and manga, and those artists really inspire me to improve my own art. Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, InuYasha) inspires me with her great comedic timing and sense of visual flow. Kosuke Fujishima (Oh My Goddess, You're Under Arrest) is unmatched for his technical drawings of vehicles and his beautiful hair designs specifically -- seriously, go look at Belldandy's hair and tell me it isn't amazing that he drew each section by hand. I also love Kenichi Sonoda specifically for his character designs and facial expressions in Gunsmith Cats, along with his own fantastic eye for car designs. Each of these artists have specific talents that I want to study and emulate in my own work!
Despite the clowny theme and fun colors, I'm also a horror nut! Though I will admit that I'm a bit of a snob; I think the best horror movies come from a very narrow window between 1990 and 2010-ish, with exceptions. I don't care for slashers, goofy 80's gorefest flicks with lots of blood and screaming - it just isn't my thing. What really scares me are unsettling, conceptual things: a figure lurking in the dark, unknowable entities existing on the fringes of human comprehension. Scream, Hereditary, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Ring, Kairo (Pulse), Incantation, Occult, Shin Godzilla -- I like horror that gets under my skin and makes me nervous when I leave my room in the middle of the night!
