Hey there!
I am Lisa Vannini, an Italian freelance illustrator and concept artist with a degree in Japanese Studies (I decided that I was probably better off as an artist after getting lost on a sacred mountain in Kyoto for 6 hours).
I specialise in everything that is magical, mysterious and out of the ordinary. In my spare time you'll find me watching Korean horror movies in my jungle-like house with my cat Moka and travelling to remote locations chasing after spooky folk-tales.
Whenever I'm stressed I cope by buying another plant.
