Hello #KidLitArtPostcard! This is my first time, tho I have done several books at this point over the last half a decade 🙈

I love being able to play with traditional medium in my book work and have fun creating worlds!

#AnimalAdventuresWeek2025 Day 3 - hiding in plain sight / day 4 hatching :P

Can you spot the marine bird nesting on the cliff side?

I have almost simplified to one solid colour....

If I want to keep up with #animaladventuresweek2025 I cannot do full backgrounds everyday 🤣 but I can’t help it ;-; I’m a background person!!

(I didn’t get a chance to get a head start, so we are drawing day by day here)

Day 1

Omg, only just caught up to Severance S1. I can’t believe you all had to wait 3 years to watch Season 2 😱

Process of setting up new studio space 🥰

First time meeting the space while the landlord is still setting up. We started dreaming of the setup immediately.

What should I draw or write on this mug? 🙃

2014 vs. 2024
A corner of my apartment at the time vs. corner of Hanoi, Vietnam during the storm.

Not much different.🤣 There is something to both paintings I still like. Mainly for the memories it brings me back to. This is why I love sketchbook keeping <3

PS: 2034 is just going to be a blob.

my title on my work slack is emoji artist

I am proud of my babies

Some study I did during peachtober, I think the prompt was snack. Favorite chip.

All day I have felt like I forgotten something, though I know it's nothing specific. Is there a term for this state of being?

Staring at an empty canvas, about to start the next marathon of my next children's book.

My studio space over the years! It’s funny how much of it stayed the same. You can even spot some of the same inspirations on the walls.
