I debated on writing a year end wrap up post. It’s hard to sum up all the ups and downs of the year into one measly post, but I’ll give it a go! My works-in-progress on Clip Studio Paint on the most recent chapter (Chapter 12), where I learn every time more and more useful... Continue Reading →
Inktober 2019
Every year it sneaks up on me... INKTOBER! Last year I did awesome. I actually completed all the challenge prompts. Did I do it well? Debatable. But I did push myself to make a daily practice. Inktober usually comes at the perfect time when I feel complacent in my studio practice. The daily challenges give... Continue Reading →
Say it with Stickers!
I've been obsessed with stickers. I usually can't get the fancy cases for my accessories, so I decorate it with all the fun stuff. Stickers feel like mini artworks I can place where ever. I ordered so many from my friends and they are all lovely. I'll be sure to link their shops below. I... Continue Reading →
Secret Project revealed!

It's exciting and an totally different direction than people probably expect from me. I've been mostly working on the... Continue Reading →
Creature Designs and Art Challenges
ETA: this post got away from me. I should have published it months ago, but got busy behind the scenes with other projects. I am working on a secret project. In the mean time I have been working on designing characters and creatures said project. Creature designs are a new endeavor for me. I don't... Continue Reading →
New Art: Adobe Sketch and Draw
I've been mostly working with digital these days. I've always dabble in digital painting, even as a young high schooler (so, so many years ago). Now that I've invested in a tablet that can work with the Apple Pencil and use the art programs, it's been a fun return to focus mainly on digital drawing... Continue Reading →
Adobe Education Exchange: Illustrator
I have a hate-hate relationship with learning Illustrator. I have avoided it for most of my life. Many attempts were made on my behalf to try and master this beast. I could never really "get" this program or vector graphics. Pretty much any Creative Cloud program I could intuitively learn with some effort. Not Illustrator...... Continue Reading →
New Art: Entranced (Venus Art Show, part 2)
Remember when I was working on a new painting for the Venus Show? I sent it off earlier this week! The show opens this Saturday at La Bodega. I'm excited to participate in the exhibition with so many talented artists. I did not photograph the process very much towards the last half. I was worried... Continue Reading →
New Splash page!
Short post! I created a splash page for all the sites that I spend time on. One of the things I notice whenever I click a link on somebody's instagram, I really like easy access to finding the particular thing I want to see (usually comics, ha!). Most artists use a resource like Linktree, but... Continue Reading →
Venus Art Show part 1
I seem to do this thing where I let an upcoming art exhibition I've been invited to sneak up on me and then I have to hustle in order to get things done. Luckily I got my iPad recently and needed another opportunity to learn Clip Studio Paint. CSP is available as the full version... Continue Reading →
