my name is Urška!
i’m a 20-something until 2027 visual artist from Slovenia.
if this page is screaming in your face, it’s because i’m a maximalist, both in design and at heart. simple and elegant? i don’t know her.
i’m lucky to work as a professional tattoo artist at a cozy little tattoo studio in Ljubljana. you can check out my tattoos here.
among other INFP things, i’m also an avid daydreamer. this world has been a part of my imagination for years. i’m so grateful you’re checking it out.

about
the best superpower we have as artists is giving our thoughts a shape to communicate. whether that’s by touch, sound, an image… anything. and i’m a very indecisive artist, who loves yapping about the things i love in different ways.
depending on my current hyperfixation, kokoro club took different shapes over the years. but no matter what form it took, the idea was always the same.
just as we as people might lose our way sometimes, and believe that's who we are, underneath everything that happened, our core is still just us.
i've used "kokoro" as my artist name for years. over time, i started saying that anyone with one of my tattoos or a piece of my merch is automatically part of the kokoro club.
kokoro club is simply the idea that we are all connected.
so now, even if you’re just reading this, i have to inform you that you’re now a part of the club too, whether that’s something you’ve been interested in or not…
in may 2026, i became a little braver than i was before
when i realized i wanted to bring my fictional world into the real one more than i wanted to escape into it, i knew it was time to take the next step.
some of my clients know that in the beginning of 2026, i had this wild idea of making my own video game to tell the story in my mind, without any prior game dev knowledge. i didn’t see the struggle, i just saw a possibility.
i have experience writing and drawing. i can learn to code, right? then next week i wanted to learn 3d modelling. then next week i had another brilliant idea about learning animation so we can have cool cut scenes. and then another one… and another one.
my world was never the problem, it was consistent throughout years of my life. it was the medium. i tried to speak in my native language, and wanted to talk fluently in my fourth. for that, i will need time.
seeing my characters drawn in 2d. then modelled in 3d (i did learn the basics, actually!")… fluffpom, the cat with the angel wings? i comissioned an artist on Etsy to make me a plush toy. all this, already gave my thoughts physical shape in this world.
i realized i might not be ready yet to speak in my fourth language. but i can still give my ideas a shape others can look at, listen to, or hold.
this started off as a fantasy escape i had as a kid, but it transformed into a concept that (with a little imagination) could be real.
the whole idea is that we as people, we are usually pushed to grow up too fast, whether that’s by outside factors, or just because we as teens thought that growing up is cool, and staying glued to our beloved cartoons is childish.
this is about finding our way back to the magic that’s already within us…
is what i would say if i didn’t have this cool magical concept with different powers (that aren’t just your basic fire, water and nature), which are unlocked by you bonding with a magical locket that chooses you based on your personality and life goals.
on top of that, there’s a whole world of magical creatures (like Fluffpom!!) ready to accompany you on your adventure, and a variety of ((pretty cool)) characters that will help you get to know yourself better, whether that’s by giving you a community, or giving you a challenge you need to overcome. or maybe you’ll just find someone new to write fanfiction about. a sweet bonus: magical girl type of outfits and transformations, based on the locked that picked you!
while my biggest goal is to spread love and joy, help people find a community, and give you guys some comfort…
i want you to be able to find that by being playful, and feel alive.
i don’t wanna say (and spoil) too much too soon, but since this is a project that’s been in my head for years, i have a lot of things that i want to do. but as a one-person business (who still needs to put food on the table and pay my bills), the plan is to introduce you to the world by making products using the skills i already have, while i learn new things in the background.
how do i hope to achieve that?
short(ish) term goals include (but aren’t limited to):
⟡ starting a mail club: available to purchase monthly where you’ll receive:
꩜ written letter about that month’s theme where you’ll learn about the characters and the systems that are a part of this universe
꩜ a sticker sheet
꩜ single sticker
꩜ bonus item that will vary each month
⟡ stationery drops (to decorate your planners, journals, notebooks, sketchbooks etc!)
⟡ blind boxes/blind packs
⟡ coloring book
medium(ish) term goals include (but aren’t limited to):
⟡ interactive experiences (short games, quizzes etc.)
⟡TCG (themed decks and booster packs)
⟡ bonus: sticker album for collecting stickers
(think like when we collected stickers as children. ideally i’d have a pack of them free depending on the amount spent on the shop, or you could get them by buying them. i love the concept and i’d love to make it a reality asap, but first i need to introduce the world and the characters more, as well as find the right supplier for this!)
these things might change depending on what people like to see and purchase, as well as my ability to produce it. it’s just the goals i set for myself and over the years i hope to achieve. if the workload becomes too much for just one person, or my interests change, this project might take a different path entirely. but this is what i’ve been dreaming about for a long, long time, and i’ll do my best to get there, if you guys will be interested <3
to summarize,
i’m just an artist trying to find a way to share my world with you guys! i hope you guys will join me on this journey, and find this place charming and fun!
with love, kokoro
