Wanted a single-page swatch chart that was easily glanceable for my Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, so I made one. Realized how critical saving time is when producing art. If you want one, download it here: www.etsy.com/listing/4406... #art #fabercastell #polychromos

By chance, an allergist questioned my generic blood labs showing that I’m allergic to peanuts. And thanks to more precise testing, we’ve unlocked that I can eat processed peanuts. Here I come, dandanmian and mooncake. 🥜 (I’m not a doctor, do your own research and consult an allergist.)

Study done in Procreate.

Cloudfare...💥

Saturday’s digital doodle. Really liking how the shapes came out.

Still some nits to address, especially given I vibe-coded the navigation... but consider this the soft launch of my tidied-up site: lilchen.com.

Two notes from the weekend: 1. The FIA hates Lewis. 2. I’m happy that New York temps are dipping.

Doodle for the seasonal vibes.

Reminding myself to lean into the small joys.

Inspired after a week filled of intros to lovely people I get to jam with for the foreseeable future. Ya love to see it. 💕

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Practicing my tennis forehand feels like practicing l-cancelling all over again… I love it.

There’s been a pivot from full time art… Let’s call it part time, for now. 🙂

Bruh, I visited my family home recently and found this shirt. I’m pretty sure I designed it in my youth, but have no idea why and to whom it was distributed???

I have asked so many friends if they played this Coke MMO growing up and nobody ever knows what I’m talking about! FINALLY, screenshot evidence.

I think I love bodega cats.

Definitely experienced some designer-fright when I saw the background/contrast on this notification. 👻

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Scary(ier) times out there…

Wow, my Game Boy Advance still turns on. Pleasant discoveries at my family’s home.

Today we are toying around with CSS gradients and noise. ✨

innate abilities

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

I guess I play tennis now, and @fizzi36.bsky.social is my private coach. :3

How the “Only Murders in the Building” cast can film without laughing after every sentence is beyond me. Such delightful, witty writing. 😂

trying to fix vibe-coding's edge cases

I now understand that making GIFs in ImageReady was just life’s way of preparing us for Figma prototyping.

Gesture studies featuring this year’s US Open competitors. 🎾

Some shots from the US Open Quarterfinals, featuring Naomi Osaka and the moon. #x100vi

Swung a tennis racket yesterday for the first time since... middle school? Just like gaming controllers, I grip the handle too tight. :D

It’s time for autumn and that means Halloween is en route. 🎃 #procreate

Enjoyed painting creepy vibes, done in watercolor.

Travis Kelce originally planned to propose next week, but moved it forward to avoid the Silksong release window.

couldn’t have said it better

The US Open ball kids look like Googlers.

Adulthood is realizing the merch isn’t worth waiting in GDragon’s merch line for (or so I tell myself).

Mounted a color wheel print on my wall so I can always reference it while creating! Grateful that the power drill is less daunting these days. 🙏🏼

Brush off your pumpkins y’all, it’s time. 🍂 🎃 🍁

Started this one years ago, and finally added the last touches this week. Surprisingly, the masking fluid still came off with ease! 🍱

<whisper> silksong </whisper>

WIP, digital painting this time. 😊

That lil' art stream experiment went swell. I will likely do it again! Thanks to any of the OGs who found it and stopped by.

I don’t go to concerts so this is my list over a ten year span: - Big Bang - GDragon - Big Bang - CL - Upcoming GDragon concert this weekend 🤓

As a control freak, I'm drawn to watercolor because it defies control. Painting Wednesday's tears did not go according to plan — yet somehow, the result is still wonderful.

It's psychotic that I woke up at 4AM today, WHY.

Mounted these suckers last week. Thanks VITSOE for the most clearly designed manual ever. 💪🏼

CATT IS AMAZING!!!!!! Go preorder her book! ✨
