So….been watching a lot of videos analyzing the song “Golden” and now I love it even more! K-pop is not my jam but learning about the backstory of Ejae and how the song was created has now made me want to drawn fanart. Who’da thought!?

Super congrats! Always nice to see artists growing on here!

I’m Karen and I paint with watercolors! Not entirely sure what I paint but it’s usually fantasy and surreal!

I only have 15 stickers of this cute sparkly wombat! I won’t be restocking this kind of sparkly sticker (I actually don’t think the printing shop offers it anymore!). All proceeds will go towards a charity helping charities fight mange!

Happy Wombat Day!

I don’t think these lil chonkas get enough recognition. I love them! So much so I made these paintings into stickers! AND with every sticker sold, proceeds go to a charity combating mange in Wombats. Check them out in the link below👇
