A New Beginning...

For years I’ve been blogging at Xanga, and great joy it has brought me, but bored I was with the limitations it came with it. One of the most frustrating things was that my friends from outside Xanga-community were unable to comment. It limited our creativeness in terms of design, since it had certain restrictions for non-paying members. Not to mention the fact that my friends slowly removed their Xanga accounts.

So here it is. A new beginning. A beginning of my new online saga, and most of all a beginning of my new creation. Finally I have the freedom to do what I want…. the freedom to let my imagination run wild. You probably noticed that the style is still minimal, but I have great plans for this blog, even though I have no real idea or concept at this moment.

But for years I’ve admired the great works of Jugendstil/Art Noveau. And too be honest, I have never really knew the name of this kind of artwork. And many might think that my fondness for Art Noveau started with Alfons Mucha, or Gaudi, but no, these great artists were introduced to me at later stages, by my friend, and great artist himself, Tom, who is also a great fan of Mucha’s work.

The exact roots of my fondness can be found in a Japanese manga name “Oh my Goddess”, created by Kosuke Fujishima. I wasn’t really attracted by the story itself. But what attracted me the most was the style he potrayed his characters. Little did I know that this style was actually called Art Noveau.

For this new commencement I will choose Art Noveau my housestyle. Although I’m not totally sure if it will be classic enough to call it real Art Noveau. I rather mix my own imagination with everything that might look nice, and come up with something rather classic, but yet modern enough to fit my contents.
