just another day on cloud eleven
Hi there! It’s Cloudy — the solo artist behind all the creations of Cloud Eleven Studios Co. Embark with me on a journey of imagination & creativity. Let's create art with raindrops of color, the wildfire of passion, and clouds of magic ♡
ABOUT
THE ART
inspiring. ingenious. infinite.
I create mostly digital artwork through my ancient iPad, Apple Pencil & Procreate. Occasionally, I also experiment with hand-crafting small objects, which you may see scattered throughout my brand here & there.
On the other hand, I have always been against the fact that creators are expected to embody only one art style — the unwritten rule to niche down is so frustrating to me.
To some extent, I perceive myself as a multitude of personalities & characteristics, subject to variation & dependent on circumstance, environment, moods & so much more. Thus if even my ‘self’ is yet set in stone, instead, in a continuous state of fluctuation, overlap & evolution, why should my creativity be a caged creature?
While I do enjoy creating my art around a certain theme & palette, you may expect various different styles & experimenting here on CLOUD ELEVEN. I intend for my art journey to be generally chaotic, occasionally horrendous & intentionally adventurous ♡
ABOUT
THE ARTIST
wanderer. booktrovert. wildfire.
Art has always been a crucial element of my life. Initially, I aspired to study & pursue art as a full-time career. However, it was too challenging for my 15-year-old self to summon enough courage to diverge from taking the path that was expected of me. Thus I opted instead for a major in Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology, surrendering to the stability of a 9-5 job.
Three years into this professional journey, I now find myself on the verge of chronic emotional exhaustion, feeling overwhelmingly burnt-out & dreadfully uninspired. It thus became clear that I needed to make a change.
If I lacked a creative outlet in my life, why not build one for myself? Fueled by inspiration from fellow creators & my own passion for art, I've decided to take the leap & kickstart my own art business ♡
ABOUT
THE BRAND
just another day on cloud eleven!
The term CLOUD NINE is likely familiar to most people. It is generally perceived to have originated from the 'International Cloud Atlas' published in 1896 — in which meteorologists assigned numbers to different cloud systems, with CLOUD NINE being the highest cloud system. The term has since symbolized being “at the top of the world” and is further used to describe a state of extreme emotional bliss.
Well, then, why CLOUD ELEVEN?
Regarding the entire phrase, CLOUD ELEVEN signifies an even more elevated state of inspiration & happiness than CLOUD NINE — which is what I aspire for my art to bring to its audience ♡
On the other hand, if we dissect the term into its two components…
The word CLOUD is the last character of my Chinese name 芸, which bridges a deeper, more personal connection to myself, as the artist behind all the creations.
While ELEVEN happens to be my favorite number, it is also the magical moment — 11:11 — in which the universe is believed to be synchronized with positive energy & receptive to wishes, a perfect time to set good intentions & aspirations.
In conclusion, I hope CLOUD ELEVEN brings you unlimited happiness, inspires you in the best way possible & encompasses positivity that will give you the boost of energy to make your own dreams come true ♡
