I can usually be found hanging out at the Cosmiclub forums (as Syrie) or the UBC Anime Club forums (as Aukum) if I'm not checking my Livejournal.

My e-mail is aukum@nocturnestudio.ca and my IM contacts are listed in my forum profiles if you're curious. I would post them here but I figure that if you're going to add me, you probably already know me from one of the forums I frequent so there's no point in listing it again.

I got started drawing back during the first big Sailor Moon craze and I haven't been able to leave the anime-manga fandom scene since -- although my tastes have expanded to include stuff like video games and TV dramas (with real people! And they're not all sentai either). I tend to like plotty shonen and/or supernatural series over typically girly stuff. Most of the series I geek about are, well, Neji up there from Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto is a good example of what I tend to like.

If it's been published in Shonen Jump then I've most likely read it.

I'm also into making costumes and have been going to the local anime convention, Anime Evolution, for several years now. I'm also part of a cosplay group called Orange Soul Creations! Look for me if you're at AE!

Oh, and I'm a shameless Tales Series fan. You can expect to see lots of Kratos Aurion art around here. :D
