august postcards + stickers mailed out! 💘

hello friends!

dropping in real quick to say that august's rewards (pictured below) were mailed out today! thank you so much for your support through an emotionally rocky month. time has softened the harsh feelings and I've since gotten a head start on Inktober. I'm really excited to share the pieces with you come October! I've been exploring a variety of themes and have channeled my restlessness into creation instead, a solution that usually proves beneficial. if you find yourself simi...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // go for it

hello friends! ٩꒰ ˘ ³˘꒱۶~♡

how are you doing beautiful people? <3 I'm a big believer in trying new things and getting out of your own way, hence the title. I may forget from time to time especially when I feel stuck in a creative rut, but in the back of my mind I always try to remember why art and drawing interested me in the first place. it always comes down to the ability to express one's emotions and stories in a way that feels most true to our experience. a lot of the ...

☀️ august rewards ☀️// process vids + wallpaper + full sketchbook!

☀️ hello friends! ☀️

I always feel nostalgic closing out the end of the summer season. A song that captures that feeling really well in my opinion is This Eve of Parting by John Hartford. a sound both sweet and achingly reflective. last we spoke I was feeling lost in a new home and city. thank you to those who commented on that post and shared their own experiences with change and moving. I think...

Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone."

IMPORTANT change to $10 tier !!! :O

hello friends! (人´ω｀*)♡

whew, I'm a bit nervous about today's post but I've given it a lot of thought and want to be completely honest with you so... the time has finally come for change. 

after much deliberation, brainstorming, and planning, I've decided to revert the $10 tier back to postcard only rewards. this means that September 2019 will be the last month with both postcard and sticker rewards. I wanted to make sure I gave you all an ample heads up so I'm sharin...

welcome back to the weekly sketchdump! I hope you've been doing alright~ thank you for being patient with me throughout the move, now let's get back on track with our schedule! >:3c whilst packing for the move I was confronted with my vast array of art supplies.

july rewards mailed out! 💘

hello friends! (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

just a quick update today letting you know that all July rewards (pictured below) were mailed out today. I'm currently in the throes of moving, meaning practically all my belongings are packed up and I'm typing this message from a sparse living room that has now turned into Box Town.  If I go missing I'd start the questioning with the boxes, they've been sitting, towering, watching me for days now...I said goodbye to my favorite post office employee w...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤ // sartorialist sketching

hello my loves! ( ´͈ ॢꇴ `͈ॢ)･*♡

I hope you've been well and that the summer is treating you kindly thus far! I've been going through some BIG life changes recently. I'm in the process of moving soon and drawing has taken a bit of a hit unfortunately! ;w; I've been processing a lot of thoughts and feelings surrounding home, becoming an adult, and planning for the future and it's led me to emotional exhaustion at the end of most days. xD in transitory moments like these, I re...

☀️ August postcard + sticker 💛// Golden Sunshine

hello loves! (人*´∀｀)+ﾟ:｡*ﾟ+

how are you doing today? I hope you've been staying cool this summer or enjoying the sun to its fullest. :D this month's sunny rewards are a response, or a companion rather, to july's moon pieces. seeing as how it's august, peak Leo season (happy birthday fellow leos! I celebrated mine just yesterday~ ^^), I thought it the perfect time to make art that epitomizes that bold and bright energy. ☀️💛

hello friends! （*＾3＾）/～♡

happy friday! how are you all doing today? :3 I'm doing a lot of client work lately so my sketchbook has served as a place to unwind and be messy. life feels expansive and open to possibilities these days. maybe it's the lull of summer and warm sun. maybe it's a change in attitude. either way i hope you make time to explore your life in whatever way fills your cup and keeps you excited~ <3

🌙 july postcard + sticker 🌙 // out of this world

hello friends!  ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ♡°◌̊

how are you doing? I hope you're having a good summer so far! ^^ my obsession with space has only grown with time and this month's rewards are a quiet ode to that fascination. I like space because it reminds me to see the bigger picture, that whatever I'm worrying about in this moment is ultimately a small blip in the known universe. and when things get put into perspective like that well....the worry kinda washes away and it feels like thing...

🌙 July postcard + sticker 💫 // out of this world

hello loves! (o´〰`o)♡*✲ﾟ*｡

how've you been? I hope your summer is going well so far! ^^ sooo lately I can't get enough of outer space and all of its marvels and wonders that fill its great expanse. I feel strangely calmed by not knowing what is out there. uncertainty usually puts me on edge, but in this case it feels comforting to not know and to maybe not ever know. although it is nebulous and formless, I really enjoy imagining different celestial-inspired entities and ...

hello loves! (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡💕 

how are you doing today? I hope you've been well. ^^ I've been feeling very inspired as of late. I've been practicing mindfulness recently and I find it's enriched my life positively. so often I feel the need to rush toward the next task, goal, or day without taking time to appreciate the present moment. and then I reach the goal I set and wonder what it was all for when in all truth I just want to experience each day to its fullest, whether ...

hello loves! 

how are you doing today? I hope your week went well! ^^<3 as I mentioned in last week's sketchdump, I've been going through another stage of growth with my art. there are areas where I feel a need for improvement and having exhausted all the ideas in my own mind it was time to turn outward for reference. I drew a lot from photos and life this week in an effort to relearn and better understand the basics. I've still got a lot to learn and I figure that's wh...

hello loves! ( ´͈ ॢꇴ `͈ॢ)･*♡

hope you're well, hope you're having a good day~ I'm in another...weird place with my art right now. I'm in the process of unlearning a lot of habits I've created when it comes to drawing and it's growing pains all over again. I'm a big believer in changing things about yourself if you're unhappy with them and it's left me with a lot to think about moving forward. I'd be more specific but I'm not really sure myself what it is so for now cheers t...

how are you doing today? I hope you're well! <3 last month I caught a nasty cold and was put out of commission for the latter half. when I woke up feeling like a bag of snot it's the small things, I've found, that brought me back to life and made me feel myself again. I took time out of my day to really listen to my body's needs and treat it gently throughout the healing process. simple activities like baths and putting color back into my fa...

how are you doing today? I hope your Monday is going smoothly so far! looking back, May was a month filled with creating.

In addition to personal work I'd also taken on several commission projects that I can't yet unveil but am excited to share once the time comes!  thank you so much...

how are you doing? i hope you're well~ grab a cup of tea or a snack cos it's time to get artsy! i've finished my week-long stint on antibiotics and am feeling massively better. as a result I really got to take my time with sketching this week and serve them up with care.

i hope you've been well! can you believe we're already 5 months into 2019? o.o i've been watching a lot of Blue Planet recently (such an amazing series by the way definitely give it a watch if you haven't already!) and felt a great connection to the creatures of the sea. it's sad seeing the destruction that human presence has created in the oceans. i wanted to draw something to celebrate some of these animals and represent a more harmonious relationship. i focused...

❤ WEEKLY SKETCHDUMP ❤// a rough week

hello loves!

i hope you're doing well~ ;u;<3 as the title suggests, i haven't had the most stellar week. i got some dental work done at the beginning and have been on antiobiotics since that make me drowsy and nauseous. drawing has been a bit of a struggle, but i hope to feel better next week once the medication is finished. TuT in the meantime, enjoy some sketches that i hope can lift you up!
