Hey, did you notice that the category of this bullet journal entry is not fanart? Yes, that’s because I didn’t draw anything for the monthly spread for June lol, that’s why the art is so awesome and shiny, an official artist drew it, not me!
The right side has my own attempt at drawing water (not very well, might I add, hence why I didn’t continue my sketch hahaha) with alcohol markers and ink as a frame around this huge waiter Momotarou sticker from their cafe collaboration. I somehow have 3 of these stickers, I guess the seller wanted to get rid of them, and I thought to myself, I would never use this large and beautiful and very niche sticker anywhere else, I might as well put it in my bullet journal for the theme to cheer me up. And since he’s holding a tray, I decorated the sticker with even more food stickers, this time fancy afternoon tea dessert stickers from jxiongart.com to go with the yummy food motifs.
If I haven’t mentioned it yet, I’ve also been cutting out small deco pieces from sticker sheets since they already have adhesive on the back, to make my own stickers from the printed design that were not intentionally cut as stickers. That’s where the Free series name logo(s) came from, and also the orange/tan stripes which was originally the border from another different cafe collab sticker that was too big to fit on the left side, but I wanted to include something from it anyway. That’s being creative and thrifty!
Overall I’m super happy that I got to use stickers that likely would never be used anywhere else, and while I didn’t draw Momotarou as I should for the month’s art, I think I will be taking the time I saved to draw some CG fanart for button badges and stickers and maybe some original characters for once. Hope you enjoyed this month’s theme, stay tuned for more art and other interesting posts soon!
