This was about…3 weeks ago? (wow!) Been meaning to upload this but kept getting sidetracked by everything else.

I was putting together my frames for SOI. (Also got lots of nice tips to make it easier and faster the next time I go frame something.) Ellie was already wrapped and done when I remembered to take pictures, which was okay, compared to last year where I forgot to even bring the camera.

It was an … adventure. From assembling the frames on a deadline, to hauling them to fedex (walked and got a bit lost; the directions I got was a block short), and then shipping cost panic! (400?! 270!? …. went down to 200 in the end, which was ok since I wasn’t even paying for it. (yay)) It was overall a fantastic day once everything was over. (FedEx dude was super helpful, sun was shining, got my pay stub, and got myself a new book.)

I was going to update with something else… but, I’m feeling a bit lazy. So, here are a few …somewhat recent sketches instead.

What I got in the mail today! I actually didn’t have to go pick it up! Which is awesome, mostly cause I always had to pick up my packages (from not being at home, having had to be at other places…) from where ever the pick-up locations are. Anyway, I decided to order a 11x14 print of ELLIE a while ago when S6 had one of those free shipping promotions. It looks awesomeeee!

Now, I just need to figure out where to put it.

Something new. First traditional piece in a while! C:

Been working on some new stuff (books,/zine?), got a haircut (hair is short now…), planning to start a food blog (haha…), got some good news/surprise (got into SOI again…frame shopping here we go), and trying to get organized and get things done.

That’s pretty much it! Hopefully I’ll update some more sooner rather than later.

ohmytangerine:

On Saturday a few of my friends and I got a couple of tables for Canzine West. It’s a zine/crafts fair by the Broken Pencil. I previously posted a picture of the zine I was working on and some buttons…they were for this event.

Top picture: The amazingly-talented Tina (left) and I (right) shared a table

Second picture: Yun’s hilarious zines and her “Bob” silkscreen (left), and Joslin’s spunky neon crafts (right).

Third picture: I forgot to take a picture of Lou’s table, so here’s her beautiful PORTALS zine. She also did postcards, which she posted all of them on her blog.

This pretty much sums it up! I think you guys did a super amazing job!

We’ll be better prepared next time. C:

First update in a while! Making some stickers for Canzine! For those of you going to Canzine West, I’ll have a bit of stuff at a table that I’m sharing with some friends (since we all don’t have much ready … or at least that’s the case with me haha). I won’t be there, since I got scheduled to work. Boo.

And a little life update…

I haven’t been drawing since the end of summer. I also haven’t been on tumblr 24/7 for the past … two months? Life also got a bit more …demanding around that time. I got a part-time job, and learning to juggle that while also producing work was something that I was unused to. Mostly because when I went to school, I only focused on school and my work. It took a while to adjust.

So I decided to take a break, get out of my slump, adjust, and live a little.

Other than that, I also learned how to knit during my little break! I bought a lot of yarn … though I only started two scarves. one of which is hardly done … and the other is close but not quite done. I bought enough yarn for four scarves and I don’t know when I’ll be able to finish them!

Will update soon-ish!

BEKKI

Nothing new lately, still got ideas/projects/peices that I need to start on! oh, and my room got totally rearranged… it doesn’t look kiddish anymore; Kind of wish I had a picture of how it looked before. Oh well. Good thing is that I got lots of wall space now to hang prints up, without fear of them falling on me when I sleep! (longest side of the bed was next to the wall) :D

You can get the print here! C:

I call her Bratty Cake. A little girl who like to eat a lot of gigantic cakes even if they happen to be alive (no mercy!). She’s a cunning, devious, and determined character, who knows what she wants.

Print can be found here!

Hello hello! For the past two-ish months I’ve been looking around locally as well as online on where I can get some good quality prints done. I really want to get them printed locally and ship it myself, but it’s just not possible for me right now (money-wise, figuring out shipping pricing, figuring out the print shops pricing; I ended up confusing myself a lot). I also found some really good places online but shipping fees are a bit too steep for me.

In the end, I decided to use Society6 for prints. I’ll be opening a separate shop for other items at a later date, once I’ve finished making/ordering stuff!

You can check the shop out HERE! C:

Something new! It took a while to color…

Not quite sure how I feel about it; a bit neutral? I’m probably going to be churning out simple (but compelling! (hopefully)) pieces after this! Maybe. They always end up complicated in the end somehow. I’ll just have to try harder.

Other than that, I will post soon (in the next day or two) about prints! C:

almost done!

I got this little blank book a while ago from Daiso! The paper in this book are good that they aren’t flimsy and too thin. My previous small one was only about $3 (but had really good paper for a sketchbook found at the dollar store) and was close to done when I got this new one.

Originally this small sketchbook was going to be a ‘sketch diary’, and I was going to try to do one small drawing a day or whatever, but it didn’t turn out that way. Instead it turned into my small book where I write down ideas or plan for future projects. (Small doodles and occasional sketches may be found here as well but most are done in the larger sketchbook.)

I’m almost done with this book, about 10-20 blank pages left!

So, I’ve finished (sort of) fixing up my website about 1 1/2 months ago back in May. It’s not quite done yet as I still haven’t put up the background image, so it looks pretty plain at the top.

Do check it out! The hover thing is entertaining for a bit.

And I am still in New York, it’s been really hot here. Taking refuge in Starbucks for their AC right now cause I have 4 hours before I leave for the airport tonight!

Finished it on time! They took a while to assemble. Made 15 small short accordions as part of my leave behinds… on a class trip to New York! (leaving today) Going to be there for a busy week before heading home again. :D

I’ll probably make some things to go with the book when I get back.
