Naomi Iang-Par, Staff Artist
Hai! My name is Naomi, but you can call me Oni! I’m a junior and this will be my first year on The Journal. I’ve heard great things about this elective, especially about all the awards they’ve won along with the friendly and close-knit community, akin to a sort of family. I hope this’ll be a fun year for us and for the readers of the Journal! I don’t have a job (yet!) but I love doing community service and creating things-- and The Journal is all about creating! As an artist, I enjoy creative outlets like drawing, video editing and writing. I’m easily influenced and while my music taste may not be the most diverse, it is always expanding. Recently, I’ve been loving Korn, Deftones, Hot Freaks, Goreshit, A Perfect Circle, Tokio Hotel, Rory in early 20s, etc. Video game music also always slaps; I love playing Genshin Impact and formerly Identity V and The Sims 4. I watch video essays on Youtube about history, culture/intersectionality, animals, and true crime. Speaking of film, I generally prefer movies over series but my all-time favorites are “Marie Antoinette“ (2006), “Squid Game,” “Breaking Bad,” “6teen” and any sort of late '90s/early '00s movies. Most of that list was not movies, but I just think movies made around that time are so much better! That’s all I have to say for now, I hope this Journal year will be a blast!
