Art: “Himbo” Alfonzo

My friend, Noelle, an amazing artist herself, posted this on Facebook. It seemed like a fun challenge, and an opportunity to practice my art a little more (especially after a failed Tik Tok series where I didn’t like anything I made). So, I gave it a shot. I had some good friends comment on my

Repertoire: What to Expect

As stated in Monday’s post, Thursdays will be about adding to my repertoire. So, this is just to let you guys know what to expect on these Repertoire Thursdays (or whatever I’ll call it). Art I create two types of art pieces: colored pencil drawings and the Just Vinyl comics. My colored pencil work is

November Bullet Journal

I was introduced to a very short series called Over the Garden Wall. I fell in love with it instantly. I decided to have this super autumn show be my theme for the super autumn month. My good friend who introduced it to me is also doing this then in November, so I’m having a

Rating Miyazaki’s Ghibli Work

Recently I talked about some Studio Ghibli when I wrote about Isao Takahata (read it here). This inspired me to complete something on my bucket list: watch Hayao Miyazaki’s Ghibli filmography. I had been forgetting about watching one for a long while and I finally got to it. So, I completed that goal, and now

When Crafting Can Be Too Much & Ideas

Edit: I checked earlier this time, but it still didn’t publish on time, so I’m definitely gonna fix whatever happened here, okay, on with the post. I have a lot of hobbies. I’m a creative and crafty person, always have been, and I love making things. But I’ve noticed lately that, growing into adulthood, maybe

Synesthesia

I’ve always had a connection to color in words. Color keeps me organized, and it’s easier for me to differentiate various readings. While I was in grad school, we had a project that involved fairy tale princess (for another time). I wrote the princesses’ names in different colors, and when someone asked why, I said

Benefit of Creative Week

Wanna know something pretty funny? Last week (Creative Week), I successfully uploaded a post or story every day on time. And today, I am late with my post… At least I thought it was funny. Let’s talk about Creative Week that just happened! I pulled off a DIY, a costume post, two stories, trying some

AFTER THE STORM

{A song is associated with this art piece, so I recommend having it on in the background: YouTube link} “Sometimes the only thing keeping me from ending it all is that I’m literally too scared to.” -Maren “Life ain’t easy but it sure is beautiful.” -Dave “Life is worth it because of faith and hope.”

(Sort of) Trying Watercolor

It’s almost the end of Creative Week! Alright, friends, I took a break from my stress to do some watercolor. Or at least to try it out. I had one of those cheapy Crayola ones, but it did the job. Obviously, I don’t know much about how watercolor works. The color is janky and the

Creative Week

This week has been quite busy (if you couldn’t tell from the last post), but I’m excited to bring Creative Week to the blog next week! Monday will be a DIY on something I made for Disneyland. Wednesday will be a costume made for a festival. Friday will be a choice (meaning I’m not sure
