Ate lunch at 10 because I forgot to change my kitchen clocks 😆😆😆

I had a dream that everyone was eating potstickers with maple syrup, and now I’m really curious about how that would taste 😅

I wanted to design a new character since I haven’t had the chance to in a while. So I started thinking about what my perfect dragon would be if I could have one. And I made this fella! He’s mischievous and a bit arrogant, but does have a kind heart. He’s also semi-aquatic and fire breathing 😆

Imagine if we started having “What would Jesus do?” signs at the protests. 👀 Confront the people who claim to be Christian with the reality that they are doing everything the opposite of what Jesus said to do. You know, help the sick, the injured, the hungry, the immigrant, and the poor. 👀

This is the first I’ve heard of this hurricane. And I just spent 10 min trying to find any live radar of it, but apparently it doesn’t exist on most of our major weather websites radars, including the NWS. I’m infuriated and terrified that we can’t even get clear info about a massive Cat 5. 😣😭😣

I had to give my first corporate presentation yesterday. And I’m not sure what the opposite of stage fright is, but I’m pretty sure I have it. I was so excited to speak that I had to calm myself down and try not to excitedly ramble thru my presentation 😆😆😆

So jealous of everyone going to Lightbox. I miss seeing all my friends and the community we had out there 😭💕💖💕

I am begging artists in the professional field, no matter whether they’re an art director or illustrator, please please PLEASE study form and perspective. Those basics are so important! The amount of art I see daily that doesn’t use either of those foundational skills is so exhausting. 😩

The quote from Stoick where he says “Men who kill without reason cannot be reasoned with.” has felt especially true lately. 😣

Looks great. Redo it. 😩

My favorite thing about Halloween is that it gives people an excuse to be creative! Driving around town and seeing all the uniquely decorated houses is the best! And seeing folks make their own amazing costumes and props! I wish we could celebrate creativity like this everyday 🎃

Recently I was thinking about how much I miss doing crafts just for fun. Like when we were kids. So I bought myself some pipe cleaners and ended up making these little flowers! 😊💕✨ It was a great stress reliever and a wonderful excuse to get away from the computer too! 🙌

Was waiting my turn at the cell store today and this older white woman walks in. There’s 2 people being helped, and me and an older Asian gentleman who are waiting to be helped When the tech person finished with one customer, he called over the older gentleman to help him next, which apparently vvv

Im so exhausted. The world’s a mess. The country is a mess. My family is a mess. My job is a mess And Im expected to be strong, silent, and kind to everyone despite my own daily fears, struggles, and depression that I continue to fight thru entirely on my own Im just so tired. Yet I cant sleep.

Something that’s always bothered me about animation is that once a project is finished, it’s only the actors that get to do interviews about it. Why don’t the artists who made the film get to be interviewed and talk about the process, answering questions about what made the film special, etc?

Today was very tough and left me feeling horribly depressed. But as I drove home, a rainbow seemed to follow alongside my car. Not sure what it means, but it at least made me smile 💕

This is such a silly thing, but I’m pretty proud of this quick doodle I did of Rourke. It was done entirely with my mouse and the default brushes. Guess it goes to show you that it’s not the tools that make an artist. It’s hard work and learned skills 🙌

It’s lovely finding out there’s a man with an assault pew openly wandering around your area. And the police won’t do anything despite hundreds of 911 calls because he hasn’t actually shot anyone or done anything illegal yet. I love it here. Everything is great. 😑😭😑

Wind down doodle. They had a tiring day 😆💕✨

Today’s baking adventure was trying to make my own version of the Cheesecake Factory bread! And I actually got pretty close! There are a couple little things that I want to tweak for the next batch but it still tastes pretty dang good!! 🙌💕

Walking into work after the rapture like…

Guys. This is getting ridiculous! 😆😆😆 And I don’t have any more pots of dirt to put these lil guys in! They’ll just have to survive in the fridge until I can buy more 😩

As things become increasingly scary here, I just want to remind everyone to write down important info on paper. Recipes, maps, contact info, addresses, nearest hospital, etc. If you lose power or wifi, anything you might need should be right there in your emergency kit, including that paper. 👍

Thinking about how I spent 5 years being practically mute because of the toxic living situation I was trapped in where I wasn’t allowed to speak and the things I did say meant nothing. And how those same people who put me thru that wonder why I stay so quiet when they try to talk to me now. 😑😑😑

First attempt at making my own sandwich bread! They came out a little small but they taste amazing!! 😍💕

It happened again! I sliced open an apple and all the seeds inside have rooted! One has even sprouted already!! Someone please get me a yard. The world is telling me to plant an orchard 😆💕

Went down the rabbit hole of the Lotte World Marionette show, trying to figure out what the plot it since the music is so good. And the only thing I can find in English is that “a man gets cursed by a tree and passes the curse to a girl who was lost in the woods” Is that really it?? 😆😆😆

I hate this so much. 😤

Return of the cuddle centaur 💕 It’s so nice to feel like drawing again. It seems like I might finally be coming out the other side of this burnout that’s been plaguing me for years! 😭🙌✨

Spent an hour literally talking to a wall today because I have no one else to talk to and I really wanted to tell someone about this happy memory from 10 years ago that popped into my head 😅 Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. But it was nice spending so long remembering better times 😆💕

I just found out they opened a Lotteria in Anaheim and Im so jealous!! It’s been 11 years since I last had one of their bulgogi burgers. Ive been craving them ever since I left Korea. Someone please get me one 😭💕 Now if KFC starts selling the bulgogi chicken sandwiches, it’ll be over for me 🤣

Just gonna put this out there. Don’t buy the Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread loafs. Bought one from the store over the weekend. Both times I ate a slice, I got an upset stomach, chills, and hot flashes. Something’s messed up with those loaves 😤😭

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Artist friends, remember the name James (Jimmy) Mulligan. He is trouble but keeps working his way back into Disney fan spaces. Please avoid working with this man.

I was contracted by a studio to art direct 1 game. Ended up directing and developing 7 before they laid me off and ran with my work. Now currently a contractor who’s managing a multi-million dollar project but gets paid less and gets no benefits, unlike my coworkers. Contractors deserve respect 😑

I tend to look at my old art and remind myself how far I’ve come. And then I think about how much further I could grow in the future. So 5 years from now when I look back at the art I’m currently making, I can see that same growth and be proud of myself for keeping at it 😊

Heyyyy are you funny and also extremely online? Do you like party games? Would you like to be funny online about party games, for Jackbox? Then have I got a link for you: apply.workable.com/jackbox-game...

The art within Sword of the Sea is beyond beautiful and impressive. It is nothing short of a tragedy Natalie is looking for work right now. Please share this and hire her ASAP.

This has been my favorite kimchi for years! But I can’t find it where I live now. So I got some *vegan* kimchi to try from my local market. And omg it’s so good and just like the canned kind! Turns out even the canned one doesn’t have fish sauce in it!! Now I know to always buy vegan kimchi 🙌💕

I realized that the only thing making my life worth living right now is the hope that someday I’ll be able to share Fiero and Lyla’s story with the world. That’s it. I don’t have any life or career goals. No aspirations. I just want to tell this story before my time is up 😩💕

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

I am so tired of people getting away with horrible things. And then the people who have the power to stop it, or at least punish them, won’t do a thing to penalize them. It’s happening both at my work and in the gov. Why is everyone just rolling over and letting people do whatever they want?! 😤😤😤

Just a heads up for any creatives out there. This is an AI scam. Please don’t fall for it. It takes keywords from your insta posts and throws them into a template to make it sound like a real person interested in your work. But it’s all lies. Delete these messages and go about your day. 💪😤

Went to get some mango sticky rice as a sweet treat for getting thru the week. But the restaurant was sold out. So I got a slice of their mango pie instead and apparently it has cream cheese in it (which I hate). Ive had such bad luck with food this weekend from the moldy bread to this 😭😭😭

Dang. I forgot just how dark and violent Dead Mans Chest is. They murder and torture so many people onscreen including crows eating people in the first 5 min of the film. It’s basically a Disney horror film 😅 There isnt enough humor to balance it out with imo. The 1st film had the perfect balance 😩

Had a rough week at work with constant gaslighting. I was in meetings until 4:00pm today. When I was finally able to take my lunch break at 4, I was served moldy bread and sour,soggy, limp carrot sticks. Worst of all, I didn’t notice the moldy bread until I’d eaten half of it 🤢 I’m so done 😑
