New Beginnings

I think one of the biggest things about moving to a new place is actually adjusting to it. I’m still trying to get into the swing of things, and here I am, a whole month later, with boxes that still haven’t been unpacked and the house still in chaos. Still, I’ve been trying to plug […]

Long time, no see!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written, and honestly, I blame it on moving, and my own procrastination. I know that I’m terrible at keeping up with regular updates, which is something that I would like to change about myself. I recently moved, which is always exciting, but also an exhausting experience. Now […]

Still here!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but I’m still around. I’ve noticed that I haven’t been as focused on art lately, but that’s because things have been incredibly busy in my life right now and I don’t take a lot of time to sit down and draw much. I’ve been meaning […]

The Baku

Yūko the Butterfly

This is one of my older works, but I still love the way it turned out. This was a gift to my sister, who is a big fan of Yūko Ichihara from the manga xxxHolic. I noticed that Yūko is often pictured with butterflies, so the first thing that came to mind for me was […]

Self Portrait Project: 2016

This self portrait was largely experimental as I used two mediums that I had never painted with before: Indian Ink and also tea and coffee. I know that probably sounds weird, but tea paintings have been some of my favorites to look at over the years, and the tea stains the paper beautiful colors and […]

Vector Portrait – Aitenn

This is my very first attempt at a digital portrait using vectors. I had never used Adobe Illustrator before, but I will admit that it was a lot of fun to learn and to come up with a new design with such vivid colors. It made me wonder what else I can manage to do […]
