It's been too long

 Hey everyone!
  I'm sorry for the long absence. I've been super busy but not really with making art. But I'm starting to work on that again now! I hope I didn't forget how.
  I got a real job and it's really great, I work at Opus in downtown Vancouver which is an awesome art supply store where I have always shopped and gotten my prints made! I also do custom framing and digital printing there too, so now all of my prints are printed by me too... cool?
 It's a lot like working in a candy store. Now I have a lot of paint and I need to DO SOMETHING WITH IT
 I also have been working on finishing my BFA at Emily Carr (ALMOST DONE) and got a new kitten and a gentleman friend that occupy a lot of my time. They are both adorable and sweet. I got a magic cat that nobody is allergic to and she keeps the mice away AT LAST. Winter in an attic is a lot better with a kitty instead of mice.
 I will try to post more because I have so many things. For now I have to survive the holidays.
xoxo

Sneak Peek of new Photo Shoot

I'm so excited to share the first photo from the epic photo shoot we did last weekend. There are many more looks and photos to come! It was exhausting but so worth it. Your minds will be blown.
For now, follow photographer Euvie Ivanova on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr ok? To see the rest soon!

I'm finally done this drawing for my Decorative Illustration final crit tomorrow morning, and after days of mopping my watering eyeballs and cleaning lizard poop off of my drawing I am thrilled to be finished.

New things in the FC shop

more photos past the jump

Packs include 5 stickers, 5 different art cards, and a random tiny handmade patch. Free shipping!

Hello! I finally got my sewing desk all set up so I tried it out by making this little pouch. I'm going to make a whole bunch more because I like it.
I also have these little packs of goodies available in the shop now! They're only $5 so if you buy one you can feel good knowing you bought me a meal or bottle of ink. And you can give the cards you don't like to your friends!

Valentines

It's VALENTIMES because it's almost time for Valentines.
 I had an assignment for my Decorative Illustration class where I had to design some greeting cards so I made these. The bee one is my favourite.

HAHA

New digs and bracelets

  I recently moved and am gettin all settled in my awesome new place, I'm super excited to have new work spaces and my own room with doors and walls and all that stuff we take for granted.
I'm still getting organized but here are some sneaky peeks of my room, which is in the attic of a big old house and is pink with stripes because I'm an adult and I painted it. 

And also because I was given the paint

these new scrap leather bracelets will be for sale in the shop soon!

 More pictures in there

Things I made recently

 I haven't been making as much stuff lately as I would have liked to, but here are some things I made for presents/prototypes last month out of scrap leather.
