Yes, Digital Art Is Real Art

Digital art is every bit as real as traditional art. From mastering color, light, and texture to building a piece stroke by stroke, digital artists rely on the same creativity and skill as painters or illustrators. It’s not the tools that make art—it’s the artist’s vision and the story their work brings to life.

The image is a collage combining vintage elements. At the center is a sepia-toned, torn photograph of a man and woman in formal attire from the early 20th century. The man has a mustache and wears a bow tie, while the woman has her hair styled up with decorative hairpins and earrings. To the left, there is a smaller photograph of the same man standing in a long coat. The background is layered with old handwritten text, newspaper clippings, and teal and reddish watercolor-like stains. Over the collage, large cursive script is written in pale pink.

The Writing with No Meaning

Dive into the mesmerizing world of asemic writing—art that looks like writing but carries no literal meaning. In this post, I share how exploring mark making and wordless journaling became a meditative, freeing practice that adds depth to my art and lets creativity flow without the pressure of perfection.

A stylized pattern of ocean waves in varying shades of blue set against a beige background. The waves are illustrated with curved, flowing lines and symmetrical shapes, creating a rhythmic, repeating design. Some of the wave crests resemble abstract bird or fish heads, adding a whimsical touch to the composition. The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of traditional Japanese wave art with a modern, graphic twist.

The Art of the Wave

Waves aren’t just ocean drama—they’re design gold. From Hokusai’s crashing prints to Celtic spirals and Art Nouveau swirls, the wave motif flows through cultures as a symbol of rhythm, power, and transformation. This blog dives into its timeless appeal and how you can use it to bring motion and meaning into your own creative work.
