Happy Heart Day =)

Sometimes all it takes is a simple 'hello' =)

NYC Comic Con!

Greetings!! I just got back from the New York Comic Con with my super talented artist friend Joey Chou. Thank you to all those who stopped by our booth at the comic con! It was such a pleasure to meet everyone! The convention was a really wonderful experience and I can't wait to do it again! (Next time with more work and a book! )


Sharing a booth with Joey




My side of the booth



I made a book through apple aperture to use as a portfolio.




Sample Pages





I made buttons and pinned them on paper t-shirts made out of Trader Joe's grocery bags. =) I learned to use a sewing machine! So much fun!!




I made little pocket calendars.. its always nice to know what day it is!


PS: For those interested in purchasing anything (buttons, cards or prints) feel free to email me!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy "early" Chinese New Year!! The story of the zodiac tells that the rat won the race by riding on the ox! Poor Ox..

Merry Christmas =)

Happy Birthday Dad!

My dad turned 50 this week! Happy Birthday Dad!! I made him a little birthday card. =) I wanted to play with patterns but it turned out more graphic than I wanted. I'll just have to try again on the next one. =)

Puppies for 2009!

In May my dogs had 8 adorable puppies which meant I ended up with LOTS of puppy pictures! We kept one puppy, Phoebe. (she's in the one pictured) For Christmas last year my friend made me a really cute calendar with pictures of our group of friends so it inspired me to make one with all the puppy pictures I took. I added some doggy doodles to go with each month. I also got to play with Adobe Illustrator.. haven't touched that program in ages. Here are some images for my calendar... I'll post more when I'm done!

Back to Oils!

It's been so long since I've touched oils but boy does it feel really good! I started taking Jeremy Lipking's painting workshop after I saw Shelly's paintings on her blog. The workshop has been great, especially since I get to watch the artist at work and see a lot of Jeremy's paintings in person =) Each painting is two sessions around three hours each. Six hours is not enough time! =) Our last painting will be 9 hours.. yay!
