Hello, I'm Tamala.
I'm an artist who captures the beautiful, fascinating things that stir my emotions. I'm also the creator of the art brand < howlbongtales >.
I live with Howl, the samoyed, and Dubong, the siberian husky, who are the two most influential muses of my life. They are the reason I took the path of creating art as a living. Together, I call them "howlbong" and they both know I'm calling them(not that they answer). These two incredible beings have taught me so much about life and inspired me to live it to the fullest. Howl, Dubong, my husband and I live along the outskirts of Seoul, South Korea.
I'm a lover of nature, animals(orcas in particular), the physical presence of books, the sound of wind moving through trees, honesty, the color teal, my bed, handmade paper, bookbinding ASMRs, authenticity, anything vintage, Harry Potter, typewriters, and beauty in all it's dimensions.
I aspire to tell meaningful stories through illustrations and hope to become a published author of picture books.
