Forget all that formal crap 'bout comin' at me one at a time.

I'll take all you people on!

你好! Welcome to my humble corner of createblog. You might remember me, Sonja (I spell it differently sometimes.) Although I love to design, I have very, very little time for it. I blame my current position as queen of AP classes and a shitload of other stuff. I do apologize. In other news, here is some information about me.

other stuff: I love reading books, especially of the fantasy and science fiction genre. I also like to design layouts.

And a flower, doesn't even know it's own beauty it's entire life.

Where my inspiration comes from

My inspiration comes from the same place that your inspiration comes from. It comes from movies that I watch, books that I read and experiences that I experience. It basically comes from my life, everything that I touch, smell, see, hear and taste. With every layout I create, I try to create an atmosphere, a mood that conveys whatever I'm feeling at the moment. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail, but I always learn and to me, that is the more important than having people love or hate my layouts.

What about the current layout?

Well. The idea for this layout (which I named Autumn's Tears) came from hours of sitting inside of SAT classes and thinking about beautiful collections of fanlistings. I decided I wanted to make a layout that revolved arount the theme of Autumn and Halloween. At first, I thought about having a layout with Count D (from petshop of horrors) in it, because it would be suitably creepy for halloween. But then, somehow, I also came up with this idea, and because it was easier to implement, I decided to run with it. This layout features Mugen and Jin from the awesome Samurai Champloo. I colored them myself, and to be quite honest, I think it's the best coloring of a scan that I have ever done. I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too.
