Hi! I'm just another crazy art student looking for new sources of inspiration. I love fashion design, art books (coffee table gallery-types and how-to tutorials), and historical fiction. I'm also extraordinarily fond of fairy tales and the various twists folks have put them through over the years. I'm always up for just about anything (although I can promise that most math books will find a quick use as a doorstop) but have a current especial interest in books on the following:
- using colored pencils and charcoal
- textiles
- books on the Asian/Chinese-American experience
- books about Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome (Fiction AND Non-fiction)
- photobooks on architecture and art
- manga
- TASCHEN's "Basic Art" series, which are biographies of famous artists

My Wishlist on Amazon: Books
My Wishlist on Amazon: Manga & Graphic Novels

I haven't been keeping the BookCrossing Wishlist feature 100% up to date, since we couldn't search wishlists for so long. It's my goal to update my wishlist soon, but until that's done Amazon's more accurate.

Yes, I am on RABCK.com! You should join too - I plan to use it to start moving many of my books in the future.
