I love telling stories and bringing characters to life in anyway that I can 😊

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 😆😆😆

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. 😩

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

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. 😑😭😑

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. 😑😑😑
