HELLOOO I AM MUURA. And this is my special corner on the internet. It exists because I like showing my drawings to people and making people look at cool things they don't know about. So basically GALLERY and LINKS are the sections you'd want to look at.

I love: comics, art, steampunk, fantasy, guro, animals, birdshaped masks, ram-horns, mythologies, creepy things, character designs, watercolours, feet, hands, zombies, skeletons, bruises, adventures.

Other places I can be found in:
deviantART • sketchblog • comicblog (in finnish) • muxtape • tumblr

I accept commissions! Find more info here, and either note me on deviantART or send me an e-mail to muura@muura.org, preferably with a subject/title such that I won't think it's spam.

This site: launched [08.06.08]. Hosted by EWH. Thank you very much for Sunri, Kyvie, Papathea and my teacher Jukka Kostet for the help.
