About the Artist

★ Alison de Silva ★ Ali. she/her. 30+. PH 🇵🇭
★ digital illustrator, graphic & web designer and hobby writer

Hello! I am Ali, a self-taught artist doing mainly character illustration and design with different vibrant colors and styles. I create both fan and original content as part of various personal projects, and occasionally for commission work.

I’ve been creating and sharing stuff in the internet for more than a decade. Back in my teens, I started designing blog layouts and graphics, as well as coded my own websites for a hobby. Nowadays I do it for work, but I still like to maintain my own personal site on the side, for my own little projects.

Later on, I built my skills up in digital art and illustration, drawing both original characters and fan art of anime, comics, cartoons and other media that I love.

Besides all that, I also love doing crafts like building model kits and fiber arts! All things that help you create with your hands. ♥

If you enjoy my art, you can follow me on any of my social media, or buy me a Ko-fi!

About The Site

I’m keeping this site as both my art portfolio to highlight selected works, and as an archive of all my past art.

I’ve been posting art online for so long, and with the ever-shifting landscape of the internet for artists, I’ve also moved platforms several times. So I decided to make a personalized archive to store all of that history in a place I can maintain myself, without worrying about when the next big social media or sharing site might make drastic changes that compromise artists and creators like myself.

So here it is! Part of Curiousest.Net, my online playground – my lil archive is up!

Site Update Log

Archiving is still in progress! There is a lot of art to go through (from 2012 to present) so it will take time – but I am keeping track as I go. I hope to be done migrating my works here by the end of the year. 😀

Archive Migration In Progress**
23%

** SO FAR: archived from present to start of 2022! External download links might be wonky, but I am working on those too.

[1.0.6] Naming this version "PIXEL COTTON CANDY" because that is the vibe we're going for. Tweaked a few settings and fixed some minor kinks. We should be good to go! Launching this online in a day or two. Next updates will probably have some back-end improvements and minor changes to the look.

[1.0.0] The new revamped site is up! We got graphics and colors and a functional site that is also (mostly) responsive. Made for desktop (because I am grandma) but will adjust enough to be nice to look at in your phone.

[0.5.0] Site setup and theme uploaded! Just a rough layout that looks nice while I populate the archive! I plan for this to hold works as far back at 2018, so it's gonna take a while to upload all of those!
