My life. Drawing, painting, candy-eating. I’ve been practicing watercolor a lot lately. (Taken with Instagram at Home Sweet Home)

Flashback from just over a year ago.

I have to go through rituals sometimes before starting an illustration. P.S. That’s Usagi with a gun inside my pencil case. (at San Francisco, CA)

Here’s an idea of what my workspace/dining room table looks like when I’m about to start a project.

louisedee asked: Hi! I've been a huge fan on Rookiemag. How'd you get started? I totally love your blog. :)

Thanks Louise! I got started illustrating for Rookie when Kelly Abeln http://kellyabeln.tumblr.com/ - who has been an illustrator for them for a long while - passed along a link to my tumblr to the editors. They liked my stuff, and being asked to work for them was a very happy surprise.

I’ve been drawing my whole life, and even though most of what I do is for myself, I love sharing what I do online, because over the years I’ve found the community of artists online to be really supportive and fun.

For those who don’t know…

This theme is called Greying and it’s by Gabrielle Wee. 

I changed around some of the coding to suit my needs.
