ByrdieRose~!

Animator | Illustrator | Dragon Enthusiast

My name is Byrdie! I'm a queer artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, and I specialise in illustration and animation, but I do other stuff too sometimes. I also like writing, cooking, gardening, coding, and playing video games, and I plan on showing off those skills and hobbies here too.

I wanted to start this website to refresh my html and css skills, and give myself a better home on the internet. I'm a Tumblr resident, but like so many other Neocities users, I've become frustrated with how homogenous the internet has become. Now I can customise whatever I want about this site, without needing to stick to a template!

I dream one day of becoming a showrunner for an animated series. You can find my show pitches in the worlds section of the Library. For one-off visual pieces, you can check out the Gallery. And hey, if you're hungry, check out some of my recipes!

I also run a print-on-demand shop out of Threadless! If you have some spare cash and want a shirt or mug or something with my designs on it, you should check it out and maybe throw me some change? Please?

Here's some more fun stuff about me!

  • I may flip-flop between american and english spellings of words on this site. This isn't always intentional, but I don't want to change it.
  • My favourite colours are sky blue and fuchsia, which feature heavily on this site hehehe.
  • I have loved dragons ever since I was a little kid, and they're very much a part of me. My favorite "real" animals are raccoons, snakes, cats, deer, and parrots.
  • I have a dream of opening up a New Jersey style diner when I'm old, but that's if I'm ever able to retire.
  • Some of the artists I'm most inspired by are Marc Chaggall, Ken Sugimori, Dugald Steer, Rebecca Sugar and Natasha Allegri.
  • You can find more of my fictional interests in the Shrines section of the site.
  • I love a simple medium rare steak, and I'm something of a carnivore... I have trouble eating beans and some nuts so they may not feature much in my recipes (they make my teeth feel weird).
