Hey I'm Andra Semesta from Indonesia and this blog is intended to be both a portfolio and your usual internet self-expression. I like to draw 'subconcious-drawn mandalas' (Google it if you're not sure what I'm talking about haha) and in this particular set I used music albums and painted what I felt when listening to them. Photographs of the paintings and some of the extra pics are thanks to my friend Bimo, a jolly good Radiohead fan. thanks for coming and checking my art out!! :D
