Hi Everyone!
I'm finally stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to upload on more social media platforms. I've been updating with some October art pieces and catching up on uploading some old comics. I'm still trying to get a hang of things and taking it a step at a time (as I can get a little nervous sometimes.) Please check them out / follow if you're interested ✨:

Thank you so much for everyone's continued support ;A;!! ✨

My friend Susan and I will be tabling at Anirevo this weekend! Drop by and say hi if you're in Vancouver BC :D!! I will have my new keychains and holo buttons there ✨✨✨

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!💖

For life updates, I've been taking it VERY easy lately to keep my stress at bay, since I don't want it to affect my little bean. I've been focusing on one thing at a time and taking as much rest as I can, since... I know I won't be able to do that soon LOL. After the con, it'll be back to comics :D!

Thank you for sticking with me everyone ;v;!!

I'll be attending Vancaf this weekend! Come by and say hi if you're in town :D!!

With all the life stuff that came up, I couldn't spend the time I wanted to make more Life Happens merch (the new charms I ordered won't be arriving in time ;___;.) But you may notice a less sad looking table display and a section to read some of the comics (thank you Konmari LOL.)

After the event, I'll be releasing a new comic with some updates before my trip with Tony ✨✨

Looking forward to seeing some of you again!!

Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, it seems like a new life thing pop up more often than ever. I've been wanting to give an update lately, but I don't feel quite ready yet. Hopefully I'll be able to say something soon, but for now I'm still focusing on what have to come first, even if I miss doing personal projects a lot. I can only describe the last few years as a roller coaster haha, with mixes of bad and good news and lots of feelings.

I hope everyone is doing well!! 🌟

Surprise!!: https://tapas.io/episode/1262151

I had the great pleasure and opportunity to work with Tapas on this strip <3 I did the draws + line work and Dojo brought it to life with colour + formatting!

I had so much fun drawing all the Tapasmon and illustrating the warmth of the community at Tapas.

I met most of you through Tapas so it was extremely humbling to be able to work on this. I know I wouldn't have been able to connect with so many wonderful readers if it wasn't for this platform. I can't express how happy and grateful I am to have everyone's continued support through this warm community ♥♥♥

I hope you all enjoy it and show them some love!

Sorry for the long silence lately everyone!

Some updates: I've taken some side jobs in addition to my full time work recently, so it's been difficult to whip up some comics. With all the things that's been happening + more hours dedicated to work, I also make sure to take some down time so I don't lose my sanity haha"~
Past me would probably just ignore that part and dedicate all my time to work + comics, but my body can no longer take that and it has proven to be an overall bad decision OTL

Things are getting better on our end and we hope the situation will keep improving (though it will take a while.) I talked to Tony and he gave me the ok to share, essentially a family member fell very sick and is currently still in the hospital for care. We weren't sure how.. the situation was going to change, but now it seems to be getting better little by little.

I'm actually going to go on a one week vacation to Japan next week. It was booked months ago before everything happened. Side jobs calls and I have deadlines to meet before I leave for the trip. So all hands on deck for them ;v;.. I'll be sure to come back for the funnies in December. I'm excited and anxious at the same time haha XD" Take care of Tony for me while I'm gone ;v;"!

Annnd that's what's been happening lately XD"

Thank you for sticking with me everyone! I hope you're all doing well 🌟!!

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates for the last 2 weeks. Something serious has happened that I can't get too into at the moment. I've been a little hesitant to update with that information on Tapas, since I've been feeling down and not being able to create made me feel guilty. But regardless, things happening in life need to come first and I need to put my full attention to be there and support things that are coming our way. Tony and I are fine, I just want to be fully available for him when he needs me most. I'm starting to find more of a balance right now, but will need to jump to things that need most attention when it comes up, so updates are still currently uncertain.

Thanks for understanding everyone and always remember to cherish and love those around you.

Some very important day job stuff came up on Friday that requires my full attention this weekend. Depending on how it goes, I might have more weekends booked for it ><". I hate skipping comic updates but GOTTA EAT ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I'm gonna try and get a preview up on facebook sometime next week when I have some quiet time. I got a lot of things happening in life in general right now that has made comic time a little difficult. But I will be working on them every now and then when I can 'v'b in the meantime, all them old comics are still available for now throwback reads ✨✨✨

Thanks for sticking with me 💖!!
