blog: looking at studio spaces!!! AHHHH

HI Y'ALL!! Happy Saturday!! The title is correct, yes, I am indeed finally looking at studio spaces to rent╰(*´︶`*)╯My shop has finally outgrown our dining room and since I'm taking it easy this winter, I'd figured it's the perfect time to find and set up a studio space and fill it with all kinds of goodies to sell in the springtime. :D

Sidebar: I want to say it feels really weird to be excited about things right now, what with the bleakness of the political and social landscape ...

ta-da! the october printable is here!

Hello my loves!! Happy October!! Here is the printable for this month — full of cute, creepy friends to adorn your journal pages and things. (ΦωΦ) I've got all the different files listed below; we have PNGs and PDFs, b&w and color, and transparent versions, for you digital folks.

september sketchbook tour~

Hello hello!! It's our September sketchbook tour 🎉 It's another short-ish one, as I've had a hard time making things lately. I finally finished my small Strathmore mixed media sketchbook which means I was able to crack into my Rendr one :D The fact that it doesn't bleed onto the next page is amazing (even when using Sharpie) but the paper has a slight grayish tinge to it that's gonna take a bit getting used to. 

Since I'm going through a really weird phase with my art right now,...

tea time will be a couple days late!! cause migraines yaaaay

Hi my sweet orange blossoms!! I was going to record the tea time yesterday, but I had a terrible headache most of the day, so I was hoping to record it today but I still have said terrible headache! I've finally made a doctor's appointment so I can figure out why I've had chronic almost-migraines for the past month, but the tea time is gonna be delayed a few days until I feel okay enough to record. I'm really sorry for all these health delay things >:•( I'm hoping I'll start feeling bett...

Hi y'all!! On this week's episode, I talk about a terrible comment I got on my video last week, as well as my current struggle with taking care of myself and my art. I just..want my body and brain to not be hurting all the time ahhhhh

Stuff is weird and hard right now, across the board, in loads of different ways, and we just have to keep figuring out ways to move forward, somehow. I love you so! And we are in this together xx

new video!! a chatty draw with me~

Hello y'all! Happy Tuesday ~ Here's this week's video. It's a draw with me, ft. the mushrooms from this month's printable :D Unfortunately, I didn't capture as much of the process as I would have liked...my memory card ran out without me noticing, and a good chunk of footage was out of focus and a bit useless so I had to scrap it. Such is the nature of getting used to a new camera!! 

I'm still working on the thumbnail, description and subtitles, but I hope that y'all enjoy this non...

Hello friends!! I hope you enjoy this podcast episode :D Growth is a weird and scary thing, but it's important!! You can't pour from an empty cup, a.k.a, I can't expect to be the effective agent of good I want to be in the world without first taking care of myself. Which is what I'm finally doing :') I love you!! Happy Friday~

august sketchbook tour! + some artists I love

hello my loves!! Here is your August sketchbook tour~ It's not too much, but honestly I drew more than I thought I had which is exciting. :D I talked about this in my paint with me video, but i've been a bit bored with my art lately, so I'm slowly trying to break out of my comfort zones and figure out what it is that I'm really drawn to in others' work. Lately I've been enamored with the work of Jean Wei — I wrote a little bit abou...

Hello my loves~ I hope you enjoy this podcast! I'm sorry if the tone is a bit weird and I apologize in advance for all the yawning. I forgot that panic attacks really take the wind outta your sails!

But! We gotta keep marchin' onward. All we can ever do is our best 🎉 I lov...
