Marina

About me: I'm a freelance illustrator and aspiring writer. I live in Miami, FL with my mom and two cats. My life is all about reading, drawing and writing! Currently, I create rubber stamp designs for The Greeting Farm.

My collections: I've collected many different things over the years. The one constant have always been books, of which I have way too many to photograph (nearly seven hundred to date; you can see that collection on my two LibraryThing accounts (marinaneira for my comics and art books, and marinaneira2 for all my other books, most of which is children's literature.)

Aside from books and animal replicas, I've collected postcards, used gift cards, UFO Catcher plush, keychains, figurines and maquettes of various anime characters, Pinky St. figurines, toy banks, figures and statuettes of cartoon and comic characters. trading cards, and more. A lot of what I've collected is in boxes. I look forward to when I move to a bigger place where I can spread everything all over the house!

Currently, I actively collect books and animal replicas. I also collect pins, postcards and vintage rubber toys to a lesser extent. However, whenever I see something that would fit well into one of my collections, I am bound to get it!

Exceptions to this rule would be UFO Catcher plush and Pinky St. figures among a few others. I am happy with those collections and don't feel the need to add more to them for the time being.

My interests: Drawing, writing, reading, animals, photography, blogging.
