❀ Hello and Welcome ❀

Thank you for stopping by!

my name is Junli, an traditional and digital artist based in Germany/Hamburg, and this is my story how I found my passion.

My journey started with "itsjunli" as a studyblr instagram account to motivate (or maybe procrastinate?) myself for the upcoming exams. It was a place where I shared and tried out different planning and study methods and my doodle and spreads. In the process I've started drawing with watercolors again and posted some artworks on my account in between the study (and slowly planner and journal) related content. I've realized how much joy sharing little artworks with you guys brought me. The community have been so sweet that I wanted to keep creating more and send it in handmade happymails to you since you seem to really enjoy these letters. Through your encouragement and feedback I end up opening a shop with handmade stickers and a handful of minimal illustrations, which I could share with anyone who'd like to have one.

Since childhood I had been really enjoying nature and plants especially those old hand-drawn guide books. Through time, practice and challenges I slowly and steadily developed an affection for drawing animals and perspectives beside purely botanical themes. Particularly the regular visits of my family in Asia with all the traditional surroundings inspired me. All these landscapes, the music, the stories of heros, legends and mythical creatures. The feeling of home, harmony, nostalgia and inner piece. That is what "itsjunli" stands for. I'd like to share pieces of culture and the feeling of calm and nostalgia.

Thank you for sticking with me until now. I am so grateful for being part of this community since without you I wouldn't be here as an artist. I appreciate each and every one of you and sincerely giving you the promise, that I will work hard and try my best in everything I do.
