Hello friends!It's been a while since I've last posted here. I've been taking time from social media and drawing/work to heal my hands/wrists.

My hands have healed considerably since I can now use a keyboa...

✿ August & September // Last Days of Summer ✿
Hello friends!It's been a while since my last update on Patreon, which was about the tier changes and reducing the amount of rewards I offer. While I struggled to finish this month's reward, it was definitely less taxing on my mental and physical well-being able to focus on one illustration rather than two. Sometimes I need a little extra time in my schedule to experiment and have fun whil...

UPDATE: Patreon bug and wrong rewards!
Hello and Happy Spring! 🌷Some of you have reached out to me because you have received the wrong February reward in the mail.

But that's another story for ...

July Flower Mail //Summer's Honey 🦋
Happy July!How has this month been treating you? We're already mid-way into summer and I'm so ready for this season to be over :') The weather can get really hot and dry here in Los Angeles, which is amplified by the wide empty streets, as well as the lack of shade or any sort of greenery. It makes me wish I lived near a forest and a big green field so I can go forest bathing. That'...
