My case wasn't a "one day I woke up and decided to be an artist" situation--although it looks like one. Growing up, I have always held a pencil scribbling through notes, sketching flowers and faces and as much as I was denying it back then, one could say I have the talent for it. It wasn't really that serious until the pandemic struck in 2020 and I decided it was too boring so I light-heartedly created a Twitter art account. That's when the early personas of "kieltokki" came into existence. 

​

My style evolved from being inspired by a Korean artist named "zipcy" with a queer twist, then branched out into other Asian inspirations and style variations until I finally developed my own sense of visual preferences utilizing thin lines, pastel-y colors, watercolor brushes, textured paper, nostalgic themes, and odd compositions (I would say).
