About

Hi, I'm Z (they/dia).I am a dopamine-driven self-taught artist who believes that we can make the world a better place through art, music, and education.Although I have been told that I have an idealistic way of looking at people or the world, my works are generally more of a combination of naive and nihilism (naivelism, if you will).Current Involvement(s):
#DaruratBanjir Directory (hiatus)
KLSN Bangsa Pelakar
Past Project(s):
• Art Collectives: MYArtjamming, Pink Tank
• Performing Arts: JALAN DALAM, TARIMOSI, Carthreena

art

Art is both a source of comfort and catharsis for me as it allows me to visualise my ideas and feelings that are difficult to put into words. Before 2020 I was mostly doing traditional art/crafts, but now my work is mainly in digital form.

I don't stick to one style because I enjoy experimenting, however I do gravitate towards cartoonish/childish art styles. I also do doodle-journalling (I call this doojo), which sometimes involving calligraphy or lettering. Some examples of my work are shown below.

My work can be viewed here: @doodlesbyz (portfolio) • @z.pwc (doojo)For my professional creative portfolio, please send me a DM via @doodlesbyz.

Writings

As a verbivore, I flex my creative muscles using words whenever I can, for fun and/or for reflection. I believe in the power of words to move hearts and effect change.I have been a blogger for over 10 years on numerous topics. I also write poetry, some of which have been published in zines and/or performed at JALAN DALAM, katakvtv, and kata.mata.Some of my public poems are available here.
