the future is the way of that
As a follow up to my January post about zines, I finally made a zine by myself, copied and distributed to people in real life as I intended. I attended a free workshop at the local library a few months ago, and I made a quick collage zine about my favorite Vietnamese foods, with photos …
This month’s bullet journal monthly layout for June is actually mostly original artwork! I initially wanted to do mermaids, but since I just drew a mermaid for Mer-May and didn’t want to stock the watercolor paper into my journal and I also only had one mermaid sticker in my collection, I decided to go with …
May isn’t over yet, and I managed to squeeze in some time (instead of cleaning) to sketch, ink and paint this mermaid for Mer-May! I drew on watercolor paper with pencil and inked with my usual Zebra extra-fine brush pen, that I’ve used for years, got it at Daiso. I then used watercolors for the …
Here is May’s bullet journal layout for the month! This month’s theme is Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon)! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. For the calendar itself, I continued with a simple square layout with no day names (just gotta use my old brain to remember). I bought a Dungeon Meshi cooking …
This month’s bullet journal is super cute! I chose a My Melody theme since her pink hood version is very spring-like to me and I can use even more matching sakura blossom stickers to match. I drew a slightly different monthly calendar this time, using squares instead of rectangles for each day, and I didn’t …
Here is March’s bullet journal layout! The theme is Apothecary Diaries anime/manga, which I really enjoy and I feel like the protagonist Maomao and I will get along because I am a pharmacist. March is my birth month so I always try to do special themes for this month that is the beginning of spring …
January was so long and depressing, and I got a little busy at the end, so this month’s layout is a bit rushed despite working on bit by bit before February started. Anyways, this month’s theme is Asian food! I actually have quite a bit of Asian food stickers because I live in a city …
[cross-posted from Tumblr] I’ve been buying zines for over ten, maybe closer to 20 years now, including what could better be described as fan anthologies and fanbooks with fanmerch, as well as actual handmade zines by its true definition, paper folded and cut and stapled from a copier machine in the school library or at …
Here is January’s monthly layout. It was actually finished the first week of January but I didn’t want to make 2 back to back bullet journal posts so I waited until I finished another post in the meantime. This month’s theme is Transformers! Which I got back into since fall of 2024 when the Transformers …
Following up on last year’s 2024 art summary post, here is 2025! I didn’t do an art vs artist image because I didn’t draw that much and so I’d just be repeating artwork although I did cut my hair short, maybe I’ll post next year if I draw more (and you know… survive 2026). Obviously …
