Favorite yule log of the year!

Hello #KidLitArtPostcard! This is my first time, tho I have done several books at this point over the last half a decade 🙈

I love being able to play with traditional medium in my book work and have fun creating worlds!

#AnimalAdventuresWeek2025 Day 3 - hiding in plain sight / day 4 hatching :P

Can you spot the marine bird nesting on the cliff side?

I have almost simplified to one solid colour....

#animaladventuresweek2025 day 02, staying warm together

elaine, just slap one solid colour on the drawing.
nope

If I want to keep up with #animaladventuresweek2025 I cannot do full backgrounds everyday 🤣 but I can’t help it ;-; I’m a background person!!

(I didn’t get a chance to get a head start, so we are drawing day by day here)

Day 1

ha- i actually would love it. i also thought if i was born then i would also be more likely just a cell painter cuz not a man and also i would like to fill in the lines please

not what I'm supposed to be working on, just doodling in the same file y'know that layer

show me something from that layer in your file lol

Stop motion is so magical!! So cool!!!

Hahha, I know the one handed removal very well 🥲

Omg, only just caught up to Severance S1. I can’t believe you all had to wait 3 years to watch Season 2 😱

More setup is required but I can actually work~ all the essentials are here for the next book!

Nearly all my worldly art possessions in these photos 🥹 I am going to try my hardest not to just do unpacking because I have actual work to do…

We said yes, got the keys, I started playing with SketchUp as if I was playing Sims. (So much math)

It is slowly coming together.

More photos of all set up soon:)

Empty room with tools laying about

Process of setting up new studio space 🥰

First time meeting the space while the landlord is still setting up. We started dreaming of the setup immediately.

What should I draw or write on this mug? 🙃

wait I know how to do the quote repost thing I swear. do i? how do you bluesky even u.u. don't let me figure things out while sick please

5 min plus also serious lag while your exporter is running...and stuffy nose from a cold or something 🥲 #sweaterseason

Maybe the stars will finally line up this year to join you!
Sounds like a lovely time was had last year :)

2014 vs. 2024
A corner of my apartment at the time vs. corner of Hanoi, Vietnam during the storm.

Not much different.🤣 There is something to both paintings I still like. Mainly for the memories it brings me back to. This is why I love sketchbook keeping <3

PS: 2034 is just going to be a blob.

today I added my cat.

okay, now have a great day xD

I have added silly ones of my friend's dog realistic representation.

my title on my work slack is emoji artist
here are some of my portfolio of emojis

I am proud of my babies

Some study I did during peachtober, I think the prompt was snack. Favorite chip.

All day I have felt like I forgotten something, though I know it's nothing specific. Is there a term for this state of being?

Staring at an empty canvas, about to start the next marathon of my next children's book.

And today, pretty much the same. 💕

I just need a corner in the world to call my own.

My first apartment corner set up and studio in the corner L shaped desk

Less set up corner just moved and references and mess

Corner table set up with inspiration on the walls

Painting set up for picture book illustration, with painters tape on board

My studio space over the years! It’s funny how much of it stayed the same. You can even spot some of the same inspirations on the walls.
