My name is Shalimar but I prefer to be called Ezra. I am going to be 19 in a few days and I grew up for the most part in Queens, NYC and I’m Puerto Rican [Although most believe otherwise haha]. Growing up I was always into the creative side of myself and always caught drawing or doodling on any paper honestly. In middle school, I really began to attempt to take it seriously but it was then when I was in 8th grade I found my love for anime Japanese styled drawings. Following to high school I began to really explore more anime and found myself loving Tokyo Ghoul, Fairy Tail, Deadman Wonderland, Magi, Mirai Nikki [Particularly dark/horror/gore anime/manga series and I’d name my favorite manga but then this would be too long] etc. Now as I explored the Asian culture more I found a super interest in kpop/khh which translates to Korean pop/Korean hip-hop music which is a very big part of my life now for 6 years [EXO, Monsta X, B.A.P, BTS, AOMG, VIXX, GOT7, Bewhy, V-Hawk].
Currently, I draw digitally in anime style on my Wacom bamboo art tablet for about 3-4 years now. I hope to improve more and more in it but I have plenty of time until I can say I am personally proud of my work. Also, I’d like to mention finally I have an odd addiction to ice cream and if I can have any sweet I’d eat forever it’d be that. Also, I’d like to thank my new COMD 1100-1167 friend Christian for my name tag using my love for Tokyo Ghoul as inspiration!
