reminder that my store is open thru saturday! I need to get back to production mode... haha... but I have 7 client projects due at the end of the month 💀

lol this might be the craziest room i've ever joined... the art prison???? signs at the top say "work hard at drawing, get out of jail early" and the ambient sound is just thunder and clock ticking

room's open again. come join me on gogh for the next 3-ish hours or so: 109775244309774333

comparison photo of the polyester (L) and silk (R) versions of my heritage bandana design. silk is lightweight & see-through with a deeper cyan-toned print, polyester has a white opaque base with a lighter colored design & a heavier, silkier feel. silk requires special care!

posting this here too! 10 games to get to know me (as you can probably tell by this dated list i don't really game that much anymore lol)

sorry i keep open/closing the room to add more decor lmfao I PROMISE I AM DONE! focus time only now gogh room ID: 109775244218514975

started using gogh last night, got caught up in the room deco part of things and completely forgot it was a productivity app (i am not done decorating)

LIVE NOW! :D

I *finally* took my own set of photos of the mooncake box I worked on for Bake Sum this year omg... I went with blue & white porcelain theme and focused deco on the sides of the box since it's the most visible part. mooncake molds by Jackie Chou are the same as last year's.

i almost never look at my insights but i really do have a hometown that loves me 😭 also hello!!! to my new york & singaporean friends!!

when i think about how my living room floor only has a little bit of dust/cat fluff and doesn't involve a 7hr wait, dust storms, flooding, or any admission fee i start to think i'm actually getting the better deal here

modernized hanfu with egl elements, inspired by qing, ming, and tang dynasties respectively :) will have these as stickers for preorder this saturday!

stayed up until 3am making this bespoke pattern from scratch. this is my dream!! my "heritage" bandana design that's a little bit qing porcelain, british tea set, embroidery, and kitschy american grandma 🥰 I am sossososososo proud of this design. it's nice to like my work again

my first 3-color process riso!! also going up on slump(dot)town next week on the 30th ✨

im getting ahead of myself but uhhh gonna go riso printing this weekend, hopefully these will become a reality (fingers crossed) also unsplash stock photos + gaussian blur + noise is my best friend lmao

is this too esoteric. does anyone else really love bubbling in multiple choice forms or does it cause psychic damage for you.

introducing some new products up for preorder from 8.30 - 9.6! lo bak gou tees (please vote on one colorway) and the functional notepads I've been wanting to make forever! it's short preorder because I have an event end of september, but will likely rerun if demand is high enough

Screw it, here's all of the google fonts that are actually good categorized by "vibe". Enjoy. www.figma.com/design/lWrI1...

went outside. will continue going outside for sanity

you're cordially invited to my festival happening on the same week as burning man (through sheer coincidence). we will lie on the floor, cry, and wonder why trying to create anything doesn't fulfill us anymore for ONE WHOLE WEEK!! SO EXCITING!

also inherited my grandma's vtg mahjong set(s) from the 60's except i have no fucking clue how to play. fake chinese

also fresh in - new work for little moon bakehouse! i did the box design & mooncake mold design this time. the theme was "year of the snake" on four mooncakes so i did the logical thing and themed each mooncake after a season, with an appropriate flower :)

finally getting around to queueing client work posts again - did some branding and custom lettering for a local vintage event. i am very sad that the jet set radio-inspired concept got axed in the early rounds of review lol

Many dispute what is the oldest known religion, until now. It’s stationery.

how do you want to dissect my crushed and compacted soul, neatly packaged for your consumption? do you like me diced, or crumbled, cut along my perforations? do i nourish your ego? have you had your fill yet?

edition 2 of this very self-indulgent project compared to last year i have 1) killed my previous shoes thru wear 2) gained an obsession with modernized ming hanfu 3) started putting fabrics on my head

other misc shots from the camera roll

i shot this pic of the golden gate bridge out of a moving car >:D slightly overexposed but cool effect
