10/05/18

Oh my goodness I have so much backlog- wowowow! Time for me to start scheduling. 🙂 I’m really excited and happy that I have a place to share art with you. Sorry for taking some time to post these– I’ve been finding myself slowly trying to juggle life around, and I think I’ve found a…

Art is never finished: Lady Eboshi

08/30/18

The never-ending feeling of “It’s not finished.” I’ve had this piece sitting on my desk for a while now, and even now I feel like it’s not finished. At some point I tell myself to leave it alone before I overwork it and end up ruining it, but I can’t help but feel, “there’s something…

Arteza Real Brush Pens First Impressions

08/13/18

I’ve been feeling some feels lately, and I have a hard time putting these feelings into words. I apologise for such solemn images in this post. Maybe you can detect the feelings? I’ll be curious to see your reactions. In times like feelings, paint it out! BUT ANYWAYS I will talk about how I have…

This was my first attempt at using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours on a 100% cotton fiber hand-made/ 300 gsm/ 100% post consumer waste paper. When I was painting this, I had no clue how each component reacted: the watercolours nor the paper, and I had thought that it looked absolutely awful at first. But over…

Hello Beginnings

07/24/18

To be honest, I am not good with words. I’m not sure at what point I had decided to give up on trying to phrase my thoughts articulately, but one day I decided that pictures, sounds, and gesturing depicted what I felt much better than anything I could possible try to say or write.  And…
