These hobbies fuel my creative flow, allowing it to grow and evolve continuously. Additionally, my passion extends to the realms of Marvel Comics, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who, where I draw inspiration from these beloved fictional worlds. They serve as a constant source of creative fuel, sparking my imagination and influencing my artistic endeavors.
