Editor's Corner

"When I'm not making artwork for Instagram, I'm also creating (slowly) in the shop on IMVU. So please feel free to check out my catalog at oPYYRAHo. Inspiration is everywhere and I hope my art can touch and affect even just one person, inspiring them to release the creativity inside themselves. - "

I have always been pretty fascinated by the art of digital editing. And for a long time I felt intimidated by how it works. It was daunting to me, unskilled, zero training and not the faintest idea of where to even begin to learn. I had a very humble beginning. Nearly 5 years ago I signed up for IMVU and became acquainted with the tremendous talent that was being bred here, and so I became observant. Watched the trends and slowly branched out into the world of making art. My first few pieces were rough at best, thoroughly disastrous at worst but time, patience and plenty of practice got me further towards my goal.

I've been editing since January of 2013. Simply put, I love it. It's therapeutic. I turn my music on and pull up photoshop and lose myself to the creativity. The freedom to make the ideas swirling through my mind come to life through my artwork is not only one of main sources of happiness, but also extremely gratifying. It brings me immense joy and I'm so excited to see my audience respond in kind to it.
