the future is the way of that
Continuing from my previous 2 posts, here are my purchases from small businesses and indie artists from July to September 2025! I was out of town twice, but I did attend a big con and also several art markets at the mall near my house, and made some online purchases from both familiar and new …
Happy Halloween! I’d been in a vampires and Castlevania mood, so I also put together a Japanese fashion gothic/aristocratic coord from stuff I already had, not making anything new, like I was Wisdom K or something lol. I was particularly inspired by Ayami Kojima’s artwork of Dracula for Castlevania Symphony of the Night, see the …
October’s monthly art is a tiny fanart of Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in trading card form. Because he’s a vampire, and it’s for spooky season, just watched a youtube about Vlad the Impaler from Tasting History the other day. This was a quick multimedia piece I made with ink and alcohol marker …
I managed to finish a quick PC setup for Halloween/autumn, and this theme is now Liu Qingge and Scum Villain Self Saving System by MXTX. Well, it was supposed to be quick, but actually took me like two and a half days lol. I decorated slightly differently than before and also had arthritis so it …
In a previous post, I listed two sets of Japanese fashion items on Etsy/Ko-fi for anyone interested, just so my shop can truly be called an atelier. The beige/white lolita skirt and bonnet set was actually sewn quite a few years ago and meant for a variety of sizes, but I never pulled off that …
I actually made this recipe in August and got around to posting it now lol. This cookbook, “Good Enough” is by Leanne Brown, author of “Good and Cheap,” which I have made several recipes before because they were good and cheap. Unlike the previous book, this does not focus on cheapness, but includes personal essays …
This is a just a quick shop opening announcement for the holidays, I am releasing a bunch of cute new handmade items on my Etsy so it can actually be called an atelier lol. Be sure to get them before the last week of November. Currently only shipping to the USA. Most of these printed …
For Labor Day weekend the last weekend of August, I made the drive to San Antonio for San Japan and the Okashi-con events there, including their Japanese fashion mixer. This year’s theme was Sweet Roulette with a casino cards theme, so I wore an Alice in Wonderland coord that I bought from Metamorphose because I …
Finally, I have drawn Megatron from Transformers One movie, completing the set of four that only took me almost a year lol. Somehow I don’t love this one as much as the other three, but I don’t know where I could have improved, so I must admit it’s all right in the end. With the …
I’ve posted about this quite a bit over the years on Tumblr, my main blogging site, but just in case anyone here is interested in the final (as of now) update regarding my online business attempts, my Etsy store, my vending at in person markets… Long story short, I’m giving up the dream of major …
