I've always dreamed of being able to live the outdoors life. Due to the nature of being a digital artist working in a big city, that's just not really possible or practical. That's why I've decided to settle for the next best thing, to bring a piece of nature into my studio.
There are over 200 potted plants in my apartment. They make the space look beautiful and inviting. They help to keep the perfect humidity in my studio, which is not only great for the air quality and terrific for keeping my artbooks in a pristine condition, but it also helps to keep dust at bay. I live pretty high up and my place gets lots of natural light - so thankfully everything grows beautifully.
