ABOUT

Inspired by nostalgia, fairytales, j crew and good hair, my name is Danielle Roche and I am an eighteen year old artist currently residing in Toronto, Canada. I am currently in my first year at York University for their joint program with Sheridan College for Graphic Design.

I'm an overachiever with a lust for life and cheesy romantic comedies. However, I'm 98.9999% sure I'm going to end up living my unsuccessful life alone in a basement inhibited by various cats...which doesn't really make sense because it's a totally contradiction to the entire overachiever/lust for life/chick flick thing. Also, I am allergic to cats.

I know all the words to every Demi Lovato song and I watch family channel in copious doses; mainly because Wizards of Waverly Place is on a lot and David Henrie is attractive. Also, the other day a man called me the asian version of Taylor Swift but I found myself really insulted because I knew he was lying. After all, I clearly don't have the voice of a choir of angels. Looks are another story though, because in that sense we are pretty much identical. Therefore, I suppose I'll forgive human kind for sending such ignorant people out into the world.

And I know all this information does not seem like it's doing any more than scratching the surface of such a complex being such as myself, but I am doing my best to be as genuine as I possibly can in as few words as possible. After all, the Taylor Swift comparison just says it all. I don't even know why I'm still writing to be perfectly honest with you.

Anyway, so besides being generally awkward and too sarcastic for my own good, I live to create things. Though my foundation is predominantly digital, I consider myself to be a very versitile artist who is very detail-oriented. As well as a little bit insane. But I'm sure that's pretty evident already. Anyway, I read an article with MK Olsen in Nylon Magazine back in 2007 where she is quoted to have said "Everything I do has to be visually appealing to me..." and I was just kinda like "Wow Mary-Kate, you are so profound!" because I am totally like that.

The end.
