Finished a Journal - art dump part 1

Journalling is one of my favourite pastimes. My journals include collages, doodles, writings, etc. Newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, internet print-outs, bus tickets, movie tickets, candy wrappers, you name it and it's probably in one of my journals.

Pretty much anything that currently is of interest to me gets dumped into my journals.

My favourite brand of notebook to use for my journals is Moleskine. I typically use the softcover, though I do enjoy the hardcover ones as well.

Anyways, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Just a few pages from my journal. May do a few more posts' in the future.

Do you journal? What kind of things go in your journal?

Tattoo Designs

Recently, a couple of my friends asked me to design tattoos for them. This is just a quick post to share my designs. :]

Peacock feather inspired by an earring!

An infinity band for 3 best friends featuring the aina. HI-life. :]

Peacock feather, with a heart in the middle.

Inspired by a boho earring. My least favorite of the designs.

The most simple, but my favorite.

Kawaii-Kon 2012

Ever since I moved to Hawai'i four years ago, I've been trying to get a table in the artist alley at Kawaii-Kon! They sell so quickly though, and they're a little pricey so I haven't managed to snag one!

However, this year I was lucky enough to find someone who was looking for a "partner" at their table! Or rather, someone to share the space with. I'M SO EXCITED! The convention is in 17 days though, and I only found out that I will be selling two days ago. So I am VERY pressed for time! I hope I can make it!

I'm very excited to meet people and see all the cosplay. I haven't been to an anime convention in two years! I'm having withdrawals haha.

Anyways, for those of you who attend conventions, what do you find yourself purchasing the most from the Artist Alley? And what fandoms are you looking forward to the most this year? I've heard a lot of "BBC Sherlock, Homestuck, Justice League, etc". Which is surprising, as none of that is anime related!! So what anime is popular with people these days, I wonder?

I will be sharing my updates as I go along with my preparations! I already made some homemade business cards this afternoon. They turned out pretty well! Now I need more printer ink haha. Will make a post for those another time!

Spotlight Sunday: Zach Cox

I haven't done a spotlight Sunday in a while, but I've been meaning to because I have a huge list of great artists' and musicians that I want to feature!

So this week, my feature is focused on Zach Cox. I have been following his art and comics for about 5 years now. He's a twenty-something year old dude from Salem, Oregon. Although he does do individual illustrations, I find his comics the most appealing. I originally found him on DeviantART, but he has since moved over to Tumblr.

Some places you can find him:

Tumblr * His comic * Twitter

Currently, he is running a comic called "Son of Sam." The main character's name is Walter and he absolutely hates his school. However, he's using this year to turn it around thanks to a girl named Avery. The story is about 5 chapters in, and I LOVE it! The characters are well thought out and quirky. And his art style is so unique! If you enjoy "lifestyle" type of comics, then this should be right up your alley!

That wraps up this Spotlight Sunday! If you enjoy him, please tell me! :]

Strangers into Friends

Ah! I haven't been blogging too much the past two weeks. I'm very busy filling out scholarships, putting together a tattoo portfolio, getting rid of stuff, packing for my move, etc! Last Saturday I participated in this HUGE "yard sale" with my mom. It was basically a bunch of military families in one spot selling their used stuff. Kind of like a swap meet. But we made $150 ($100 of which was from my stuff!). I had so much stuff it's not even funny, but I left with virtually nothing!!

While I love drawing for my tattoo portfolio, sometimes I just want to say "fuck it" to proportions and whatnot, so I draw these silly little caricatures of people that I enjoy!

I drew this one of Helaine. She's so beautiful and down to earth. And I adore her fashion sense.

I drew this one of my internet friend angela! I don't remember her tumblr name, but her Instagram name is: nighttowl

She's so cute!

During work, I received this dollar as a tip. Some guy had written his name and number on it, along with a message "let's be friends"! It wasn't the person who gave me the dollar who wrote it. So I texted the number! Turns out, he's from Guam, he's in the army, and he seems nice. Horray for talking to strangers. :]

And ending this post with a picture of me! I am applying to local modeling agencies in hopes I can break into that industry. I used to do modeling in 8th grade, but my look has drastically changed since then. Wish me luck! (My tattoos may be a turn off for them :p)

Art and Shop Updates

Here are a few things that I just recently added to my etsy shop! All of them can be found HERE!

Something I drew the other day. I love pocket watches. Thinking about getting this tattooed!

Practicing drawing the classical tattoo girls. Need to work on my colouring, but I like drawing in this style!

Tattoo Tuesdays

I've been drawing for my portfolio quite a bit because i'm hoping to get an apprenticeship when I move to New York in April. Wish me luck!

But here are some of the tattoos that have been inspiring me lately!

Also, I don't have the link to the original sources, unfortunately, as most of these are found through fyeahtattoos on tumblr or google images. If you know the source, please tell! :]
