greetings! my name is alison ho. welcome to my brand new portfolio site.

as an artist, i am currently exploring various ways to combine the traditional with the digital.
i find that strangely interesting things happen when two things that shouldn't go together do.
i have an odd sense of humor, which goes with my somewhat quirky personality and is reflected in my art.
some describe me as bright and cheery but i guess they might just confuse that with my love of cute, round, and furry creatures.

may 2009;;
updated my cv and reordered a few of my projects. i will be adding a few new projects after this term.
for now, please check out this PROJECT booklet i made.

january 2009;;
the site is up and running. i like to call this version, "i love watermelon in the summer time."
i think i might be bitter about the cold weather in oregon but what can i do-except dream about warmth.

please let me know if there are any bugs. i'd like to get them fixed as soon as possible.
