DECEMBER REWARDS ♡

Happy 2023 beautiful peeps!

I thought the last month of the year deserved something that symbolizes the growth and struggles of another year behind us, with the promise of of a time where we can all finally reap the fruits of our labor. December's theme is "Right Moment, Right Life." A little play on the well-known phrase, 'right time, right place.'
As the years pass I begin to realize that that phrase holds a lot of weight to it. We all grow, bloom, and whither - only to grow and b...

YOU WILL NOT BE BILLED FOR JANUARY 2023

Hello lovelies~
I hope your last few hours of 2022 are filled with lots of love and happiness. 

As you guys have probably noticed, art has been quite hard for me lately. I still have not been able to complete a rewards collection for December. Instead of trying to force out a piece that I'm not happy with for the sake of it, I am going to opt out of billing for January. 

I will be posting December's bundle in the early days of the new year and shipping out the reward...

november rewards~*

Hello beautiful peeps of the internet!

This month's theme is centered around "self care". Little things that I have been trying to implement in my own life, such as a nice long bath, finding new music, and cooking. I had the best time drawing the rewards for this month. I truly am so happy with how everything turned out. :') I hope you all love it too! I felt like the muted pastel tones to the collection mirror the faded dreamy vibes that you would get when having a lovely drea...

OCTOBER REWARDS (finally!!!)

It's finally here :D

Thank you SO SO much for all of your patience. My art block has been absolutely horrible. I think I tried to draw, not even kidding, like 10 different illustrations and ended up hating all of them?? BUT I finally hit a break through last night and drew until the early hours of the morning. Hope you all enjoy these sketchy-styled drawings, a small reflection of what's going in with me mentally lately. Full blown colored and rendered illustrations have been quite diff...

WHERE I'VE BEEN :o

Hello lovlies~

I'm so sorry this update has been so late. Last time we talked, I mentioned that I possibly had to get knee surgery. The end of September and most of October was spent going in and out of many, many doctor offices. It took awhile to figure out exactly what was wrong with my knee and what was the best course of action to take. After figuring out that my MPF ligament was on the verge of snapping, my doctors and I decided surgery was needed ASAP.

Since I have a history...

september rewards 🥀 (+ an update on me & knee surgery)

hello lovlies~

This month's rewards theme is "To Buy or Not to Buy? - that is the question". To remind us all that the best things in life, the things that we yearn for the most, cannot be bought. No matter how much we consume, the thrill is always temporary and we're left feeling empty. Growth takes work. And time. 

SEPTEMBER REWARDS:
✧ 6x4" postcard: matte soft-touch on the front, uncoated on the back.
✧ 1 sticker: RE-TAI...

"Socially Drained" progress pics

A little step-by-step progress picture collection for you all, featuring my latest illustration. 

It reflects my struggles the past few months. I felt myself being stuck at home, constantly trying to "charge up" my social battery. But in the end failing to get up from the floor. Sometimes it just feels better to be home surrounded by the things that give you comfort. 

(ATTN: usually this would only available to SAPLING+ tiers, but I am making it available for all patrons...

♡ august rewards ♡

Happy august my lovelies~ 

I have been quite the busy bee behind the scenes in the last month. I've been drawing a lot, but not posting it anywhere. As I still feel like I have to mentally heal before I can fully come back to the internet. The month's theme of "Low Social Battery" really reflects that. The bundle for august was very therapeutic and enjoyable for me to create. I hope you all like it as well!

✦ JULY REWARDS ✦

Hello bbs~

It's been quite a long time. I have been struggling a lot with my mental health, mostly my anxiety and panic attacks. It somehow got really bad after I got home from vacation and I've been trying to cope as much as I can. I am hoping to start therapy soon to hopefully get on the path to a better mindset. I just want to thank you for all of your understanding and patience in the meantime. ♡

This month's rewards are "Daydream Delivery" ...

photos from my vietnam trip~

HELLO CUTIES!

I am finally back in the states and finally found the time to comb through all of my footage from Vietnam. Here are some screenshots of the many, many places I visited during my trip. Including Saigon, Ca Mau, Mui Ne, and Phu Quoc island! I mostly filmed with my vlog camera so I have mostly screen caps (and not actual photos that I took) to share with you all. 

This is just a small look into all of the things I experienced there. Truly a lifetime worth of memori...

doodle dump :D

Some things that I have been drawing to try to get over my art block. I don't particularly like them all that much, but I think all art serves a purpose. Even the ones that you feel aren't good enough! At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself hehe. 

I hope you all enjoy these. A small token of my appreciation for being so patient during my absence. I have one more week in Vietnam then it's time to go back to reality and do some fun things with all of the inspiration I've gath...

♡ june rewards ♡ (and an update of where I've been!)

WHY HELLO THERE STRANGER!

Here are the rewards for the month of June~ The theme is "Windows to the Soul." I feel a deep connection to desktop windows. It is as though I use it a vessel to showcase what's on my mind and all the nuances of what I love about metaphorical art with the vintage aesthetic. Since this is my birthday month, I thought it would be quite lovely to do a theme that I personally adore. I hope that you all do too!!! 

(but first)

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! (traveling overseas/delay May rewards)

Hello lovely peeps :)

Just wanted to pop in and let you guys know that I will be traveling to my home country of Vietnam from May 27th-June 15th. 

It will be my first time visiting in 14 YEARS! This decision to travel with my family this summer was quite the last minute one. It is mostly due to my grandma, who I haven't seen in 14 years. She is currently 91 years old and her physical health has been declining the past few years. The pandemic had halted my pre...

SHOP UPDATE PREVIEW~ ✿

It's finally here!!! :) 

A shop update is coming this Friday (May 6th) at 12 PM, which will include leftover rewards from patreon from October 2021-March 2022. This will include ALL postcards, stickers, and enamel pins from those months. 

I have been so busy this year that creating new items exclusively for the shop has been next to impossible. So this shop update is only going to include old patreon rewards. I hope you guys don't mind!  2022-05-02 19:51:12 +0000 UTC View Post

☻ may rewards ☻

HELLO CUTIES :)

Here are the rewards for the month of May~ The theme is "My Gamer Totoro". I wanted an excuse to draw the chonky king that is Totoro, so I combined gaming elements with the beloved film. I dreammmm about a Studio Ghibli themed game, since the movie gives me so much peace (kind of like if animal crossing and studio ghibli had a baby). Since it doesn't exist, I decided to create my own. This is what I love about art, I can create new worlds out of existing elements that I ...

early access: studio vlog ♡

I present a brand new vloggie for you to watch! It's a chonky one folks. This video features a lil product shoot at the gardens, lots of drawing/painting, and me getting my 2 new tattoos!!! :D Seriously all of my favorite things in one video. 

I loved how it turned out! I hope you guys enjoy getting a first look at it before it goes live next week~

OK THATS ALL LOVE YOU x 

April rewards C:

Hello beautiful peeps,

Here are the rewards for this month! I've really been into juxtaposing harder motifs (chains, swords, etc) with softer ones (bows, butterflies). I am loving the contrast~ I hope you all love this month's bundle! Thanks for your patience :)

APRIL REWARDS:
✧ 6x4" postcard: matte soft-touch on the front, uncoated on the back.
✧ 1 sticker: TWILIGHT TWINGES sticker (partial holographic)

new painting (and this month's postcard!)

HI LOVELY PEEPS!

Here's a painting that I just finished. I used watercolor graphite for the first time and I'm quite obsessed with it!!!

It will also be the postcard for the rewards this month, while the "twinges of twilight" painting will be the sticker design! Swipe to see it~ The chains + stars will be holographic. Because I can't help but add shiny details to the stickers hehe

I'm a lil behind on this month's rewards. Please forgive me. D: I'm finalizing the enamel pin a...

HI FRIENDS ♡

I've been on a sketchbook kick lately, trying to get back into traditional painting and drawing. And if you guys can't tell, I've been having LOTS of fun :D These are some of the spreads from the past few weeks. Enjoy the first exclusive look~

Sorry for the delay, frens. I have been very under the weather the past few days and am slowly starting to feel a-okay again! Thankfully, I got tested for covid (again) and it came back negative (again)!!!
