Around three years ago Christina moved from Greece to New York City and has been pursuing a freelancer illustrator career ever since. She recently decided to put a larger focus on her own, personal projects without the influence of a client because, she says, it seems to be affecting her creativity.

“I’ve always been indecisive when it comes to style and techniques,” Christina admits, “but it’s so refreshing to me every time I pick up a new one anyway, so I totally recommend embracing it!”

In the spirit of trying things that are new, Christina recently took up playing the violin to add yet another artistic string to her bow, so to speak.

1 Moon Soldier

“Inspiration for the this piece was from a favourite anime (Sailor Moon – you can see this from the wand she is holding) and the Jungian shadow. I sometimes enjoy shining my own personal light on characters that I’ve always liked since I was a kid, and therefore changing their archetypal character quite dramatically.”

2 Kiss

“Fan art based on the Korean TV series Scholar Who Walks the Night.”

3 HolySnek

“Why Snek and not Snake? Well, because he’s goofy looking!” This is a character design I wanted to try with lots of contrast.”

4 OinKnight

“I did this while going through a ‘kids style illustrations’‚ phase. These ones come and go quite often, so I have a lot of pieces that exhibit a similar feeling.”
