Dave Lajara, formerly known by his past alias "aniyara," is a 24-year old illustrator based in Laguna, Philippines that specializes in digital line illustrations. He worked with digital portraits in themes of surrealism for 4 years, but shifted to illustrating line art with extremely vibrant colors and stylish characters in exaggerated and wonky perspectives. He has been drawing ever since the age of 7, graduated with a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Arts and now works as a layout and graphic designer so you could say art is his entire life.

The warm hug of a thick sweater is just the start of the road to achieving the highest level of comfort. Good music is essential for this type of trip (or any trip, really!). And of course, you have to look good to feel good!

The best and cheapest way to make your guitar sound better is by putting a crapload amount of stickers on it. Don’t be ashamed to give your axe some love and zing, it’s the star of the show!
