Me: Check out this portrait that took me 18 hours! My followers: *clicking likes on my silly RAVioli sketches instead. Seriously, I was looking at my Instagram stats and other than the viral Webroke sticker reel, my next most liked are RAVioli sketches. I give up. lol #artlife #rav4

It’s a good thing I’m not afraid of spiders. Working here and then see something out of the corner of my eye. BIG daddy long legs just casually crawling up the wall behind the computer. I took it outside.

It’s Saja Sunday! lol. I finally got #Hyunjin done as Mystery Saja. He took a lot longer than I planned as I’d never drawn him before. His final print will also be UV reactive like the others. Pre-orders are live in the shop now! #StrayKids kimchikawaii.com

Thank you to all who helped fund the Kittyland @backerkit.com back in Feb! Miss out? Pins are now in my shop and ready to ship. I’m also running a sale thru 7/6. Spend $40 & pick a free Bunny boba shirt or mystery pin pack.

Cue the Bon Jovi sorta: whooaaaa, you’re halfway there! Whoooaaaaaah, now you’re sewing with aiiiiirrrrr! (Guess who didn’t realize their bobbin ran out mid-seam????) #CosplayProblems

Happy Independence Day

For those who don’t know, I have two jobs - a full time day job and my art biz - so basically I just work 24/7. Til my body demands rest, throws out the welcome mat for germs and I get sick. Apparently, the only way to stop me is fever and chills. Looking as grouchy as RAVioli right now.

Toyota 1 yr ago: Your free trial for the app that allows you to remotely connect to car is over. Me one year ago: I’m not paying $10 a month to lock & unlock my car from my phone. That’s dumb. Perimeno brain fog me now sitting in the office: Did I lock my car? Maybe I should subscribe after all.

Anyone feel like jumping into a major organization project at home is like real life "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"? If you start to organize the craft bins, it will mean you have to also carve out space for the sewing supplies...and suddenly, you're sorting the kitchen. LOL.

Love this sooo much!!

Two years ago yesterday, I retired Panda and brought home my new car. RAVioli celebrated by telling me it was time for routine maintenance as I crossed the 20k mile mark. Guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend, lol.

Guess who's supposed to be editing product photos right now? #ArtLife #SmallBusinessOwner

Another dumb #Rav4 sketch: It's a good thing RAVioli is smarter than me. My car won't lock if the keys are inside and I'm not. It beeped very angrily at me. Panda, my old Corolla would have just laughed, locked the doors and left me standing in the sun.

Story time from when I was in the loading dock at Fanime and RAVioli showed me a new trick and scared the wombat poop out of me. Lol.

There is a post going around on social that has accused me of being an AI slop ‘artist’.

Something AI slop ‘artists’ will never get: the thrill of facing a challenge to make your physical media (paint, clay, pencil, etc.) work to create something only in your head into a real, tangible thing.

Finished the artwork for my other half of my #BTS #Arirang #Concert #Freebies. This is a #haetae which are creatures from Korean mythology. I’ll have this as mini prints at Stanford. Will also make larger prints as well for my shop.

Working on the art for my #BTS #Arirang #Concert #Freebies. This is a Haetae, a Korean mythological creature. They are believed to stand for justice and protect against fire and disaster. Will either be a mini print or a sticker (haven’t decided yet).

Working through some commission backlog, but also been working on getting this next linocut carved so I can have for my May events. Almost ready for ink.

Went for a walk after the rain. Loved the jewel tone blues and greys.

Just ran outside mid dinner when I heard it start raining and saw it was still sunny. Caught this amazing rainbow with a faint twin.

3am for me for the #BTS #Arirang concert, but so glad I caught it. Now off to a full work day. There WILL be coffee.

My socials think I’m ready for a new RAV4 & sending ads to me that are themed around people suggesting meanings to the acronym that fits their lifestyle. Highly doubt pasta puns was the street cred they were going for. Clearly, I will not be working for Toyota’s marketing team any time soon. lol.

This would be my studio name if I drew like all raccoons. lol.

The weather was nice and my flight out was later in the day so I took a walk to Boston Common and took pics of the Make Way for Ducklings sculpture. They were decorated with Easter bonnets. :)

Con isn’t going as well as hoped, so here is my whale Beans with the cute little jam jar they provided with my to-go breakfast.

Look what just arrived in time for #AnimeBoston! My next #SajaBoy - #ChoiSan from #Ateez. Obviously is Abby. Print is UV reactive too. He joins Romance Felix and Baby Jimin. Will have at my artist alley table this weekend in Pro-row (612).

Allergies are soooo bad today with the wind so back to RAVioli with pollen.

I sometimes cosplay as Tae and create replicas of his outfits. Was watching the Gwanghwamun concert and half my brain was working out the construction of his outfit. It would be so fun to wear to the concerts. Old pic of the Black Swan PTDLA one I made.

I forgot that I had left a #wombat in the cart as I was packing for the event tomorrow. This is the first thing I see when I came out in the main room this morning:

If you wonder where your ARMY friends are, we’re all listening to #Arirang and freaking out how good this is! Nothing productive getting done tonight. #BTS #Comeback

This squirrel looking at me after I had the audacity to scare it off the salad bar (my plants). So I had to add this to my pic.

Sketched out my next #linocut. This is my version of Korean minhwa (folk art). A frequent theme is the tiger and magpie.

Friendly kitty #PeekerSticker now in the shop just in time for #Caturday! www.kimchikawaii.com/stickers/kit...

Prob the fastest #BTSFanArt I've ever done, but I got so inspired to do a quick sketch when the album covers came out. 1 hour, 39 mins on @procreate.com app on my iPad Pro. I'm soooo excited for #comeback. #Arirang #BTS #KimTaehyung #BangtanSonyeondan (I was supposed to be doing my taxes, lol).

I was so caught up in how cute these were in front of my apartment that I almost forgot to lock the car. lol #Fuzzy #Dandelions

Happy #WombatWednesday! Years ago, a friend sent me a video talking about wombat poop (yes, its cubed) and I thought it was hilarious so I drew this sketch. Then, cause I'm mature like that, I decided to make a plush and now I go to cons and talk about poop. The end. LOL.

You know, digital painting would go a lot faster for me if I wasn't constantly on the wrong layer! #Dangit #LetsHearItForUndo #ProcreateProblems #ArtistProblems

Dumb things I draw when I should be drawing other stuff. RAVioli is already coated in pollen and it’s just the start of March. It’s gonna be a long allergy season.

If you need a quality, piece of art bow, look no further. I have one I commissioned once and it’s so beautiful.

Beautiful day at my campus arboretum for a lunch break walk. #UCDavis @ucdavis.bsky.social

How is everyone’s #WombatWednesday going?

Happy #ValentinesDay. Friendly reminder to never accept chocolates from #wombats. lol. I’m at #KatsuCon if someone wants to get their own wombat date. Artist alley J21.

Come see me at #Katusucon in the #ArtistAlley. I have #Badgeribbons and my #LinocutPrints!

Am traveling today and will be on plane when 1pm hits. Would love to close this over $9k. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/k...

Me taking advantage of the fact that flights keep overbooking their overhead space and jumping up first thing to free check my carry on with all my heavy stuff that didn’t fit into the regular checked.

Running prints for #Katsucon this weekend. I’ll be at J21 in the artist alley with a limited supply! #linocut #analogart

I forgot to post the link to the #Pintopia, #MarketingFail, LOL. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/k...

This is my kind of #SuperBowl - a super bowl of pineapple whip, or in the case of Kittyland, Pineapple (cat)Nip. They go crazy for it, lol. Final four days here of the @backerkit.com #Pintopia! If we end over $9k, all backers will get a set of mini stickers for free!!

Progress on the Korean Haetae #linocut I’m carving. Hoping to have prints for #KatsuCon next week.
