Note to self: Yoshitaka Amano.

He's the dude who did the artwork for the Final Fantasy III booklet. I recognized his work immediately.

The reason this is so important to me is I used to stroke pictures like this all through my youth. Which is possibly why this is what people look like in my head. If I bother to look at the people in my head which in general I don't. But this is what you might look like. Especially if you are an original (particularly fairytale, fantasy or sci fi) character of mine. But it's possible this is what you look like--yes you, internet person. Seriously. Some of you have looked like this in my head. Not in so much detail. But you might have very swirly clothes. Or be Asian.







Ahh, I'm happy I found this guy. And now I have to go buy my sister-in-law his book about fairies. I need to go buy myself that book. Yay. I feel like I discovered part of my personal history.

I can guarantee I never have and never will look anything like those picture. Unfortunately.

The work reminds me a little of Gustav Klimt

YES. I was just about to comment with the same thing. The resemblence to Klimt (in the coloring and the ornamental background, I think) is striking, but at the same time it's original. The coloring is beautiful!

Great minds! And lovers of art.

I hadn't noticed that, but now that you point it out I definitely see the similarity! I love Klimt, so maybe that's how come I have so much fun with this guy.

I love Klimt, but it didn't occur to me that yeah--they have interesting similarities! Cool.

In my head you in particular have totally looked painting-like with swirly hair and clothes. No idea how that happens; it just does!

I'd say more whirly, curly hair ans totally sloppy clothes - right now I'm wearing grey sweat pants and one of my many stylish march-of-dimes t-shirts.

Hi there! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thanks

This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
