About me

I enjoy creating things. I'm an engineer by day and an artist when there's free time.

My shop designs are currently inspired by two main subjects – vizslas and fish. The former is due to the cute and hyperactive vizslas owned by some of my family members, and the latter is due to my experiences fishkeeping. There may be some other cute animals and computer science puns thrown in the mix as well. =)

Why tleeri?

tleeri comes from the scientific name of the pearl gourami (Trichopodus leerii/leeri), one of my favorite tropical fish -- beautiful and graceful, but often temperamental toward their own kind. Unfortunately to better suit apartment-living, I moved to smaller aquariums and stopped keeping them as they can get quite large (4 to 5 inches). Would love to keep one again if/when I get a larger aquarium.pearl gourami painting
