About Me
Artistic Background
- Primary mediums I work in: Digital illustration using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Fresco, with occasional traditional media like crayons and papercraft
- My artistic style: I work in two main styles - a clean, simple abstract minimalist style, and a colorful, quirky cartoon style full of energy and cheerfulness
Since 2015, I've been immersed in the world of graphic design, starting with experience at an advertising consultant. After that, I moved into the realm of fine arts and focused on art education for children in Jakarta, Indonesia. This experience fostered a deep interest in creating content and illustrations that are relevant and engaging for children.
Nounish Vision
- How I plan to incorporate Nouns/Noggles: I am excited to continue my "Beyond the Nouns" project, a children's storybook series that has previously received funding from the Nouns Community artist program. Each book will tell about the magic of Noggles Nouns, translating Nouns' concepts and spirit into simple, entertaining language for children.
- Why my style fits the Nouns community: My colorful, playful style naturally complements the Nouns aesthetic while making it accessible and appealing to children. The vibrant characters and whimsical scenes I create help bring the Nouns world to life in a way that's engaging for young audiences.
Originality Statement
- My creative process is completely original and human-made
- I do not use AI tools in any part of my process
- My process for ensuring authenticity: I begin each illustration with hand-drawn sketches on paper or directly on my digital tablet using Adobe Fresco. Once the initial sketch is complete, I scan it into Adobe Photoshop for coloring and final touches, all done manually. I document my entire creative process through screenshots, videos, and notes, and I'm willing to do weekly live drawing sessions for transparency.
Content Creation Plan
- Planned creation frequency: One children's storybook per month (10-12 pages with illustrations on every page)
- Content ideas: I will produce a series of "Beyond the Nouns" books, each with a different title and theme. I will also release the visual assets from each book as NFTs on Zora, with at least four updates per month. I'll create a simple website using Notion to serve as a centralized database of all works and assets.
- Potential collaboration ideas: I would love to collaborate with musicians to create theme songs, animators to bring illustrations to life, children's authors to develop more complex stories, and game developers to create educational games based on the characters and stories.
I will provide updates at least twice a week through Warpcast, Twitter, and Instagram, creating dedicated social media accounts for the "Beyond the Nouns" project. These updates will include behind-the-scenes glimpses of the creation process, teasers, and project promotion.
If this project grows, I plan to hold direct activations with children in my local neighborhood, making the books more beneficial with a positive community impact. Each activity will be documented and shared online, providing valuable insights to improve future books in the series.
All visual assets in the books will be available for free use under the CC0 license, in line with the Nouns spirit, making them valuable resources for various creative needs beyond just entertainment and education.
