천은실

I am absolutely in love with Chun Eun Sil. The soft, muted color, the fairytale-like characters.... drive me crazy.









She even creates iphone covers! If only she sold prints! Maybe she does?

Make something new everyday

I've decided to start a "make something new everyday" series on my tumblr to challenge myself. It might be an illustration (like the one I did above) or a painting or a photo. Whatever tickles my fancy.

what i wore today

happy sunday!

i know, i'm centuries behind but i decided to jump on the bandwagon and also keep my mind fresh and inspired by joining in on the what-i-wore-today exercise. :)

my favorites are always from gemma correll:




and check out the blog!

anyways, i was thinking in the shower today(ironic) how spend so much time thinking about things i'm going to do rather than actually doing them. i should be using my free time drawing/designing more things just because!


*EDIT* Gemma featured my illustration on the blog! cool!

Cho-cho

Hello all. I have a cat. Her name is cho cho. I drew a picture of what she looks like (except she's skinnier and more shy). She has white feet. I love her.

I might change her name to Oliver even though she's a lady. I'm sure she won't know the difference. Have a nice day.

jaw-dropping design!

my mouth dropped open when i saw these.
