Artwork of the Month 💕

Wow, so much art was created this month—I can’t believe it! And that’s not even counting the two new cards and the DTIYS.

Comics Relaunch 📖

New year, fresh energy, and it’s finally time to restart my comic project! This isn’t a continuation but a fresh new take, with everything I’ve learned about comic storytelling, paneling, and medium exploration over the past year. My art has evolved, my tools have changed, and I want this project to reflect that growth.

Card Project Relaunch ♦️♠️♥️♣️

As if reviving my comic project wasn’t enough, I’ve also decided to restart my pinup playing card deck! The first version had great elements but lacked consistency, and my style has evolved so much over the past year.

This time, I’m redefining the suits so each has its own unique visual identity. No more second-guessing which suit a card belongs to—just pure, bold pinup magic!

Also, I’ve already found a great factory for production, so now it’s all on me to keep up and finish drawing all the remaining cards! :)

New Collectible Pins in Production ✉️💖

Exciting news—I officially have a new enamel pin in production! 🥳 If all goes well, I should have the finished pieces in March. This design is inspired by my envelope-themed Valentine’s art, and I can’t wait to see it in all its glossy, pin-worthy glory!

Christmas Market Postcards 🎄✨

Time for a non-pinup art update! As I told you in the previous WHAM - I was invited to participate in a Christmas Market, so I created a collection of watercolor postcards featuring pomegranates 🍷 (which are a big cultural symbol in Armenia). It was a super fun experience, and I might just create more postcard designs in the future!

Launching a New DTIYS 🎨

After wiping most of my old IG posts and switching to a no-boobs policy, I was worried about losing a huge chunk of my audience. But surprisingly, the drop was way smaller than expected!

To mark this new era, I launched a brand-new DTIYS challenge! I’ll be picking my favorites after Valentine’s Day, but I’ve already received so many amazing submissions. It’s always a joy to see my art interpreted in different styles—keep them coming! 💖

And that’s a wrap for January! 🚀 Onward to February and all the exciting things ahead! 😘
