Umm, when I’m not reading and drinking tea, I’m drawing pictures of people reading and drinking tea.

I may need to diversify my life a bit.

I really like your work.

Tamarindel said

Thank you, apt! I actually am a big nature fan (hence stuff like http://www.inprnt.com/gallery/danamartin/chinese-lantern-winter-cherry/ & http://www.inprnt.com/gallery/danamartin/iris-ii/ ) I had a natural science illustration teacher who was VERY thorough.

I always love the stick figures, though! They can be so expressive :)

Beautiful work. I love the fairy tale feel of your work.

Reading, travelling, museums, food (chocolates and cheeses especially), fountain pen collecting/repairs, playing card/stamp/coin collecting, electronics tinkering, language learning (or just general self-learning), occasionally writing and video gaming.

… I may have too many interests, haha.

Pretty into my photography, both as a hobby and job, flickr photostream here if you’re interested in taking a look (Mostly personal rather than business related stuff):

Slightly related to that, I like walking biking in the outdoors. Recently did a self contained cycling trip of about 350km carrying all my stuff (including 10kg+ of camera gear) over 4 nights:

Also into most things IT/Gadget related, built a few computers over the last few years (from oldest to newest):

cool builds man! I just built my second (well I’ve built 5 in total but this is the second I built for myself) computer last week. I never got into watercooling, seemed like too much work, especially since I rarely play video games, and never anything graphic intensive.

Riley-NZL said

To be fair, watercooling is as much about the look and fun of building it, as it isn’t a whole lot better than most high air coolers unless your are doing some serious overclocks. Also not very price effective :P

apt said

right now I’m using stock cooling until I can get another Hyper 212, and obviously no overclocking until then.

watercooling does look nice. my new case (phantom 410) has a window so it would look cool.
