I created a new little doodle of myself, since it has been quite awhile! It is so weird to see such a big shift of aesthetics in my work (2020 had a bigger impact on me than I realized)... The old me used to exclusively use muted jewel tones, faded pastels, very light outlines (if any at all), and lots of dark atmospheres with dramatic lighting. Today's Kaija loves BRIGHT saturated colors inspired by 60's/70's Retro Mod, Art Nouveau, and Kawaii Japanese art. I'm showing more thick and flowing linework, PLANTS- anything that "sparks joy". I want to look at my own art and feel magic, happiness, nostalgia, and coziness. Hygge!
