  Hello, everyone, my name is David Flores, I like to be called David. Recently I've been reading the manga for Attack on Titan, and it's pretty cool; still, can't wait to see what the final season has to offer. Other than that one exciting thing, I'm an art major, and I plan to go to UA (Universal Arts School) after I graduate. So I can work on video games and other cool things.  One of my favorite artists is Katsuhiro Otomo because of his amazing artwork called Akira, an anime and manga that inspired, and changed many things. Also here is what I look like.
