About Me
Hi bug friends! 🐛
My name is Elena and I am a multi-creative like many of you – illustrator, artist, designer, and of course, bug enthusiast based in Oregon. But for the most part, I like doodling, hence the username “tekitodoodle.” The Japanese word “tekito” (適当 or テキトー) means “sloppy,” or more loosely, dilly-dallying. My bug sketches are never serious, and it’s a way for me to loosen up when I’ve been trained to produce “real work” in school. I hope my art (serious or not) can make you feel like you’re having fun and exploring your curiosities, just like how it was when you were a kid.
Not every artistic work you produce doesn’t have to be this perfect, complete, intricate masterpiece (yes, even in social media). We should be more sloppy, silly, and share the joy of it with everyone!
