I've been busy busy busy these past few weeks! I've been preparing and trying to make some new stuff for Sakura-Con and Emerald City Comicon coming up very soon. I tend to get restless during long stretches between cons/shows so I'm very excited for those to happen!

​And now, I'm going to throw some new art at you. 
"Sleeping Beauty" Photoshop CS5

Let me tell you, those flowers took forever. I tend to gravitate towards the too-many-petals varieties. But I think it was quite worth it in the end. This will be available as a print in my shop very soon.

This next one is a little bit different - in which I experiment with gilding! It was a messy process but I had a lot of fun with it!

So, I'm pretty sure I saw one of these things during my trip to Bali last year. It was the size of my thumb, and actively building a nest in our bathroom, which was a bit stressful. In fact, that was 1 of 2 stressful bee encounters during that trip (the other one involved a nest of regular bees getting into our room and us waking up one morning to find bees everywhere. Thankfully we had a mosquito net over the bed). Also, during the entire trip I was quite worried about getting Dengue fever, being the mosquito magnet that I am. Needless to say, bugs were quite a hot topic during that trip, which may explain why they're popping up in my art a lot recently.

(For those wondering, I did not get a single bee sting or mosquito bite. Yay :) )

​Also, as a bonus, here's something that I finished today:
"Smile" Acrylic, graphite and ink on watercolor paper

Um...I don't have a fun explanation/story for the ants. Just ants.

​These pieces will be coming with me to my upcoming cons, plus many more, so be sure to stop by if you're attending! 


Til next time~
