About me

A visitor? At this hour?
Well, I can‘t say I expected you – but I bid you welcome. Please, have a seat. Is there something I can do for you? Perhaps I could interest you in a cup of tea? Some pastries maybe? I baked them myself No?
Hmm... I see. How about a small story instead? Yes? This is is more to your liking? Splendid! Then please, get comfortable... I‘ll be telling you the story of a young girl who went to battle reality, all on her own, armed only with a pen and a brush.

Said girl grew up like many others – she had a loving family, a safe home and went to school, as it it is common in our world for people her age. As ordinary as it was, it wasn‘t a bad life... And yet, the older she became, the more she began to notice that she was...Different and longed for more than just this simple life.
She felt as though her world was too small – her hometown seemed gray and dreary and the daily routine was a burden to her. To see the same scenery, day for day, to meet the same people and to always only do the same, old things – was there any meaning to that? To go to school, to learn, so she could later earn a living, to make money - but what for? She kept wondering and so it was no surprise that people often found her alone, staring into space, hoping that one day, things would change...Or an answer would reveal itself.


But nothing happened, everything remained as it always had – and the girl felt lost. At the edge of despair she made a very last attempt to save herself and escaped to a place that had everything she ever dreamed of, a world, only one thought away.

There were endless landscapes to traverse upon - and she didn't explore them alone. She had loyal friends by her side - trusted companions she lacked in her ordinary life. Those friends accompanied the girl on her journey. Together they lived through many an adventure, danger always lurked behind every corner, but they did not fear a thing. Soon the friends became part of heroic tales of bravery, friendship, love, trust, but also betrayal and evil schemes.
And before the girl knew what was happening, she grasped her pencil and began to put these stories to paper. First she only wrote them down, but eventually, as time passed, brushstrokes began to shape them in color as well.
One world became many worlds and with every word, with every line and every picture, the worlds grew - and became more real than ever.

Although these tales and people only “lived” in her mind, they still became an important part of her life. And so, despite living in reality, it were these worlds she created, that now became where her heart is and kept her alive.
Thus, the young girl became an artist and writer, whose greatest joy it is to invite other people to her world. To show her world and her dearest friends – her characters – to others, this is what she wishes to live for.

Certainly you already guessed that the girl I’m telling you about is no one else, but myself.

The name’s Claire – pleased to meet you. But you probably know me by a different name, after all that’s how I always introduce myself: as Yasao. This is not only my nickname, but also my name as an artist.


I've was born in October 1990, might be a little bit crazy (I do tend to say “It’s not necessary to be crazy, but it is rather useful” or that I am “Mad as a hatter”) and I’m quite the daydreamer.

In Summer 2014 I graduated from a school for graphic- and media design (it was a schooling program to become a "design assistant" to be more precise – I'm not sure if that's the exact English term, but it's the closest translation for “Gestaltungstechnischer Assistent” *laughs*) though I soon realized that this isn’t what I’ll be planning to do in future. My dream is to become either an illustrator (for example for fantasy novels) or to work as a concept artist / character designer. Aside of this I’m hoping I’ll be able to publish my fantasy novel “Broken” one day.


I think that’s alll you need to know about me – I rather let my drawings do the talking for me, anyway. If there’s more questions though, feel free to contact me.
But what are you waiting for now? How about you go and take a stroll through my realm? Explore this website and if you like, you can leave a comment or two on my art.

Wait...What do you mean, you want cake after all?
