2025 was a good year!
Things I did:
- Learned how to bake sourdough (thanks Julia for the Christmas gift). I am now a pro and have baked many different things throughout this year.
- Saw Jimmy O Yang in Las Vegas AND Sheng Wang in Colorado. Oh they are so funny - if you ever get a chance to see them perform in person, I highly recommend.
- Met some amazing people and played D&D for the first time. Very fun experience!
- Talking about food - the siu mai and guacamole from China Poblano was A+, I had my first moon cake at this small restaurant next to Costco business center, sourdough focaccia with toscano cheese from Trader Joe's is magical, and there's a bunch of other things I ate which I can't remember with the head cold goin on atm. You need places to go for the west coast, Las Vegas, or Colorado - I gotchuuuu 👍
- Picked blueberries with the fam in WA. We had a blast and the blueberries were yummy in a home baked pie and bread. They delish by themselves too.
- Did a fun Ghibli themed picnic with a friend and made both Totoro pop tarts and Totoro themed misubi. *Chef kiss*
- Helped bring miniature schnauzer puppies into the world AND adopted one of them. Her name is Honey - she spunky, sweet, and a great little sister. Pepper is so patient with her! Also, tacobout cute in her outfits, omg. 🌮
- Got serious about gardening this year and had a good harvest (very proud of myself).
- Chopped my hair to donate and lost about 10-15lbs dieting to be a bit healthier.
So much more happened in 2025 but this is a good recap I think. Cheers to 2026! ✨

No really, I do - or it's the hangry in me speaking...
This cute beet character is from a sketch I made maybe a year or two ago and decided to finish. I was trying to do some play on words and incorporate that with food elements but inspo was probs because I was playing @snoozykazoollc Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion (I have yet to play the sequel - on ma list!).
Anyways, this beet character feels are too relevant right now with the news (at least for me).
I kinda want to give him some pants - like basketball shorts but then it feels too sporty... But if I give him jeans he might look older than he is... Hmmm
Brb as I go to eat a breakfast burrito to appease the hangry dragon in me. 🔥🐲🌯

Last part (the best part) 🎉🐉
I'm extremely happy with how this illustration turned out! It has so much movement and playfulness. ✨
I was thinking about selling mini prints (4x5) and then maybe doing an 8x10 print. Thoughts? What size are you more likely to order?

When you envision your idea but can't quite put it into a digital media format, ya - ya ya ya - that's me. 🙋♀️
I was originally NOT going to add linework to the scale-like water and just do "blobs of paint" and make it look like someone used a squeegee to pull the paint down but my brain could not compute how that would work soooo here we are with line work and adding shading behind each scale. It's working - promise!
Have you tried squeegee painting before? I kinda want to but need to get ofc, the squeegee - a mini version! 🎨

Part 1 of drawing this cute dude!
Yes yes, I know - the year of the dragon is technically over BUT when ya got the content, might as well use it. 😂 Besides, dragons are cool and party hats are TIMELESS and we all need a bit of happy vibes right now - hope you enjoy the video and expect part two tomorrow! 🐉🎉
Also forgot to mention that I started this dragon piece close to Lunar new year of 2024 but didn't actually finish in until Fall of 2024 (teehee). When you rushing through videos things get confusing. 🙃

Here's my #artvsartist2024 !
It seems I've been doing this for six years now - cool to see the improvement or change in art style over the years!
Some things I did in 2024:
🌴 Went to California THREE TIMES - like holy smokes. We went to Monterey Bay for my mother's birthday, San Francisco, and San Diego. We saw so many cool things, ate tons of delicious food, and got very sun burnt while in San Diego specifically. No re-gurts!
👕 Made my first T-shirt design with a local printer. It was Pokemon themed - I was going through a Pokemon Go phase again and played with my dad and some family friends. I printed six shirts for the team. 😆
❤️🩹 Took a break from posting to social media - I was still making art though (as you can see in the first image). I mean, I already do this for a portion of my full time job and it wasn't as fun posting to my art accounts in 2024 cause I was #burntout . I want to post when I want and what I want instead of trying to strategically think of what social algorithms want. New way of thinking for art accounts - let's hope I stick to it lol.
Now onto more fun things in life!

Soooo I have a bluesky account! I'm still planning to post to IG (for now) but for more personal updates and BTS stuff, I'll be going to Bluesky. Honestly I've contemplated removing IG but a lot of people I want to keep in touch with or life updates are still on this platform soooo that's where I'm at. 🙃

Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧🐍
Every year I’ve created some sort of piece to celebrate the occasion which usually means drawing the chinese zodiac wearing a party hat (yes, even last year but I haven’t posted it yet cause burn out baby! 🫠). As it’s the year of the snake 🐍, I wanted to focus on the the reptiles form, like how the body wraps around itself aaaand draw a bunch of flowers! What type of flower are they? I have no idea - totally just swung it! Maybe they’re a combo between a peony and perennial?
Also, I did forget to add the hat at the END of making this piece so ofc had to go back and draw one in (you'll see that on slide 3). Now I have two versions - one with and without the adorbs party hat! Es perfect~
May the year of the snake be filled with happiness and abundance for everyone! Stay knifty!

Here's a fun art swap challenge that my friend, @lillyfoot19 and I did last month! Ensure to check out her feed a bit later for her version of this challenge!
We both decided to swap portrait sketches and then finish whatever sketch the other person did. We had liberty to change what we wanted as long as we kept most of the original elements of the sketch. It was a unique experience but a nice change of pace where the idea was already visually created and all I had to do is refine it. The haku lei was probably the most detailed part of this portrait but def a fun portion to color and shade! My brain while working this was, "this needs to be purple... I'm feeling purple vibes" - lol.

🌱 Cute painted pot! 🪴
Last year I got together with a friend and went to @colormemine . I planned everything the day before on how my pot was going to turn out - like I ENVISIONED all the details and made some sketches and did the whole Pinterest mood board (I was just excited okay). It was supposed to look like water with this shadow pattern and be all contrasty with the blue, white, and pink. Lo and behold, it didn't turn out as what I'd planned haha. I realized this after the line blobs were placed! It's still a stunning abstract pattern for a pot and I'm happy with it. ✨
Image Description: A tall peperomia plant inside a cute hand painted pot with navy colored abstract blobs with red and white abstract lines and dots above the blobs. The background of the pot is a light salmon pink color and the rim is a navy color. This is an image by image video of the pot turning in a circle. The background is completely white to contrast the plant and pot

Prismacolor Colored Pencils are AMAZING!
I've been working on and off with them throughout last year into 2024 which is an upgrade from colored pencils I had from eight years ago (the ones you get for foundation art classes - oh man, long time now haha). Really enjoying how the glide on paper, they are just creamy and easier to blend! I also really like their col-erase, I use those all the time for sketching plus RAINBOW ERASABLE COLORS 🌈
Art Description: Colored pencil sketchbook spread with a sort of pond theme. The upper left has a lil boat with a cat taking a nap. Spreading from left to right are lily pads, lily pad flowers, and fish swimming. In the bottom left is a cute white duck and the upper left a close up face of a duck. The bottom right of the spread shows a cluster of pink flowers.
