HANABI opened in August of 2007. I previously had a site on Freewebs.com called Fruit-Flies which
I had since August of 2006. In July 2007, I got an offer by Juline at TR1N1TY.NET to be hosted by her.
I immediately accepted because I was planning on purchasing a hosting plan and domain in the future and I thought it would be great if I were hosted for now !
Therefore, I should thank her for all of this ! So a special thank you goes to her. Thank you, Juline !
This site is currently used for my personal information and display of graphics that I've made in my spare time. They aren't all that great, but I decided to share anyway.
Hopefully in the future I will find a greater purpose for having a site!
HANABI is the Japanese word for "Fireworks". I like the ring of this word, which is why I chose it =D.
The website is best viewed with FireFox at 1024x768.
Current Layout Info
Features:Sun and Moon Layout #:7 Year:Fall 2008 (debuted in Spring 2010) Programs:Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop Notes: This is my first layout which includes all original art work by yours truly (minus the notebook
page image !) ! I drew these images by hand
about 2 years ago and really thought my little guys were extremely cute ! I thought it would make for a
cute layout, and so, here it is ! Images were hand drawn, scanned, and traced out in Adobe Illustrator.

Features:Carnival Layout #:6 Year:Summer 2008 Programs:Adobe Photoshop Notes: The image I have for this layout is unfortunately not one you can enlarge. I apologize !
Don't worry though, I'll have an enlargable image very soon ! Well, this theme was inspired by a beautiful picture
of these...pony thingies you ride at a Carnival? I'm not sure what they're called? Hmm, anyway, I
wanted to make something that had nice pretty sparkly thingies. Well, here it is! Yay!
It's a bit plain, but that's alright! Isn't it? =o
Features:vistlip Layout #:5 Year:Spring 2008 Programs:Adobe Photoshop Notes: vistlip is an AWESOME band with amazing music that I can't stop listening to!
They haven't been around for long, but I love them already! Soon, they might be on my top!
This layout is dedicated to them. Very simple, with some splashes of color! To be honest it's really ugly. I would expect
so since I am a little rusty right now...
Features:~Starry Night~ Layout #:4 Year:January 2008 Programs:Adobe Photoshop Notes: This layout was my first layout for Hanabi that doesn't feature some kind of human!
Hooray! :DD
I like dark colors. I also just love nighttime and creepy yet
pretty looking trees...and the stars at night. My mental idea was a bit different, but I am okay with this outcome.
Features:Tara [ex - 176BIZ] Layout #:3 Year:Fall-Winter 2007 Programs:Adobe Photoshop Notes: Layout #3 features Tara, ex-bassist of 176BIZ. I made this layout mostly because
as most of 176BIZ or Tara fans may know, he had to leave the band, and this was pretty sad.
I thought why not make something dedicated to him? I hope he has much luck with whatever it is he
has to take care of at the moment. We are all hoping for him to come back some day!
This layout was also an opportunity for me to make something colorful! I don't usually make things
this colorful and neon >.<.
Features:SuG Layout #:2 Year:Fall 2007 Programs:Adobe Photoshop Notes: Second layout for HANABI! I thought I make it featuring SuG, since they are becoming very successful
even though they are fairly new [not THAT new though]. My idea for this second layout should have been my first.
I wanted something plain, and I wanted to have something that would describe a new feeling. Since this site is new, then I felt
as if the layout should depict that. I went for black and white as you can see. I think the color white also helps emphasize my want for
something pure and new.
Features:Lolita23q Layout #:1 Year:Fall 2007 Programs:Adobe Photoshop Notes: This layout was HANABI's first official layout. It had an incredibly short life-span. I HATED it =D.
