Saturday inspired.

Image copyrighted of Kidchan @ DeviantArtDid I ever tell you guys how much I adore sketchy and loose illustrations with vibrant and atmospheric palette? I have my set of favorite artists, most of them children's illustrators and freelance artists having some sort of anime/manga influence in their works. Also, I'm a very very frequent lurker over at DeviantArt, the most popular art community in the US and dare I say, around the world... because...

I did it!!

Ahh, I'm so tired. The last few days were torturous as I had to sit around doing... essays >__<, I'm no good at writing *sighs*. It always takes me days just to write a few pages, sometimes I can sit for 4 hours straight without having anything written at all (that is with my notes ready and everything). And it doesn't help that I get distracted very easily. While I was working on my Art History final essay, I remember I doodled more than...

Papercrafting... and randomness :D

Did anyone have a happy Thanksgiving? Got any good stuff on black Friday? I had a lot of fun, too bad I didn't find anything interesting enough to buy on Friday; i still did have some joyful time shopping with my friends nonetheless. It's the heart that counts I think *winks* :D.(click for bigger view)So that was what kept me busy... and frustrated these last couple days (T_T;)o... I had this assignment for my Art History class in which we could...

Feeling artistic...

I feel so artistic and crafty lately. Seriously, I can't comprehend what is going on within me... The more time I spend doing art, the more I feel inspired and motivated to do more. It's so true when you think that it's most difficult getting start, but once you get into the motion, it gets easier. Last Sunday, Chi, Hue and I spent the afternoon in Pioneer Park taking pictures. I was a little disappointed the weather wasn't as nice as I'd have...

Autumn shower and serenity....

I love November: the vibrant colors of changing leaves, the crispy fragrant smell of damping grass lingering in the air after a fresh autumn shower, the exuberant joy of Thanksgiving together with the sweet serenity of it all... A day ago, we Lincolnites experienced such solemn weather as it rained from morning until night time. Such weather excited me surprisingly... I love rainy days, and I love Autumn, so it's no surprise I felt utter bliss...

The wind in my hair....

Lately, I haven't been doing much artworks, but I'm beginning to sketch more now. PopArt has gotten to me a lot. Anyways, I did some character designs in Photoshop a while back and came up with these two robots. They are supposedly to be based on my ex-bf and me, I called the girl version Cookie (my nickname) and the boy Windie (a play on word of my ex's name). They took me forever to finish as I did everything from scratch, and not to say I'm...

Food, PopArt, Tokyobay, yeah, I'm rambling....

A first entry always is difficult for me to compose as I am not very good at introduction. I'm pretty excited to tell what I've been up to lately through pictures so screw the pretentious introductory standard-ness many blog writers feel so obligate to begin their blogs with, I'll just go on with the meaty details now. However, my writing is getting so bad (as in horrible grammar, poor vocabularies, awkward sentences, etc.) as of late that I believe...
