Hello everyone! I hope you all have been well and enjoying your 2024!
I’ve been struggling a lot for the last few months with trying to find a sweet spot between work, daily tasks, and art. It’s been driving me a little bonkers to say the least!!! I’ve been behind on catching up with things, and it has left me frozen with guilt and s...

Here's a rough digital sketch of the ~Summer Postcard~! I'm going to use this for reference as I recreate it traditionally with ink and paints.
The heat in California this year has been brutal, but we did have a tropical storm the other day which gave us some much needed rain! I'm definitely craving cooler weather. This postcard is a "Summ...

hello everyone!
I hope Summer has been treating you all well! Today is my 31st birthday, wowza!!! It's been a lovely birthday so far.
Apologies for the silence-- July was a whirlwind of a month and August is also turning out to be a bit crazy. Lots of things were going on with the pets, family and also work and I lost track of time t...

Here's the finished sticker design for the month of July! 💜
I'm doing my best to catch up and stay ahead for my Sticker Club. Going forward I'd like to be able to showcase the new sticker design BEFORE the month arrives, and them produce and mail them earlier than I have been.

SURPRISE!!! I changed up the design for my Sticker Club's Spring postcard.
I wasn't feeling the previous design, and I wanted to do something that highlighted the season more, so I painted this! It's made with watercolors and I also touched it up on my iPad. Hope you like it!
This postcard will be mailed out to my $7 Sticker Cl...

Here is a WIP of both stickers I'm working on for May and June.
May's vinyl sticker is a fish seller cat, in the style of a maneki-neko. June's vinyl sticker is a cat paired with some strawberries. June is the month when strawberry is in season!
I'm still deciding if I want to finish them both with watercolor paints, or pa...

Here's a WIP of a commission I'm currently working on for Jayde! It's their FF14 character, Ysera!
I've never played FF14, but I know a handful of people who play/have played it. I think the last MMORPG I played was either Ragnarok Online, or Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst. 😆

May Re-Cap:
Earlier this month, I had to unexpectedly fly back home to Seattle due to my Dad being in the hospital. Thankfully my Dad is okay, but the whole ordeal was draining and a bit scary.

Hey all! Apologies for the delay in this month's sticker progress. I traveled for the holiday, and ended up getting horribly sick with the flu, which took me about a week to recover from. I don't recommend getting the flu when you're 30, it sucks!!!
This month's sticker is inspired by my cat, Wee. She passed away a few years ago, but her s...

Happy Miku Day! ✨ Here's a WIP of a painting I'm making of Hatsune Miku-- She's having a laid back day, enjoying bubble tea and smoking some grass.
I'm using Posca paint markers and gouache on a wooden board. When this is finished, I'll make a post for anyone interested in possibly buying before I make a public listing. 💙

I broke out my gouache paints and finished up this drawing of Arcanine. I really love gouache-- It's the perfect mix between watercolor and acrylic. I added some extra love into this one because Arcanine is a personal favorite Pokemon of mine.

Hello and happy August! Here's a WIP screen shot of a portrait commission that I'm currently working on for John R. I'm hoping to have the line art and colors finished in the next day or so.
The recovery time from my wisdom teeth extractions has taken a bit longer than expected, I'll go into more detail in an upcoming update!
