Freedom Given and Taken Away
It seems like every year there are those holidays we celebrate because, well let’s face it, it’s a day off work. We forget what we’re celebrating as a nation and focus on the food, friends, or stuff. I am in every way often guilty of this and sometimes don’t know the history of some holidays.
ISM:10 Year Exhibition at Grand Central Art Center
I’ve worked with the non-profit ISM:A Community Project for several years now, both curating and exhibiting works. I’m especially excited about this show, as I’ve been involved in a couple different ways. I was to help ISM re-brand their identity with the relaunch of their site, by designing their logo and 10 year logo. The

After recently designing a logo for the blog Punching On Paper for writer Ryan Gattis, I was asked to be a part of his upcoming show (in conjuction with ISM) at Meltdown Comics in LA to celebrate the new year. It is generally believed that modern Chinese martial arts derived from two separate mountains: Shaolin

This year I decided to do something different for my birthday, use some vacation time, and get out of the OC. My bf Matt and I traversed up the coast to the wonderful city of San Francisco. Whenever I go to a new town, the first things I’m automatically drawn to are the architecture, the

This saturday a few of us ventured out to Long Beach for their annual SoundWalk, which coincided with the opening for the Robots and Angels Show at Alley 425. It was a truly interesting experience. There were noises and sights on every block. From my show, to the other more interactive installations, my friends were both

I was really excited to work a newly formed monthly event called Little Tokyo Happy Hour this last week. I was able to round up some of my favorite artists to roll out with me and sell some of our work with the other vendors. Each of us loaded up, headed down to the heart
Little Tokyo Happy Hour
One of the cool things about social networking is that you never know what events you’ll be able to not just get invited to, but also participate in. A friend of a friend of a friend….etc… put out a post looking for vendors/artists to come out and work a monthly event called: It seems like
T!3 Takes Tokyo
Along with our trip to Little Tokyo this weekend, we took a handful of band stickers that Matt has just ordered for his band Tora!Tora!Tora! One of the great things about cities like LA is you see people leaving their mark everywhere you go. Whether its tagging, or wheat pasting, or stickers, the signs are

Happy Street Fan Art
(fan art by Enkayeff) My husband laughs at me for being so invested in some of the games I play on my ipad, but its actually his fault, since he bought it for me in the first place. Every once in awhile I find a game, one of those build a village, aquarium, or zoo,
Reinventing Something Gorgeous
This last week I’ve had a couple encounters into other artist’s works where I couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblances. The age old saying that there is nothing new is in a way true, but also untrue in that things are constantly being reinterpreted or altered. The illustration was a hair study done with
Happy Lunar New Year 2013!

Exhibit at the Japanese American Museum: Supernatural
This weekend I had the pleasure of going to a colleague//friend’s exhibit at the Japanese American Museum in (Little Tokyo), Los Angeles. The show is titled “Supernatural” and its description states: “Traditions are an integral part of every community. Some of these come from superstitions that our ancestors carried with them…Supernatural features the work of
TUTORIAL: Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookies
For my bridal shower I wanted to create these super cute tea bag cookies, which I had seen online, as a party favor for my guests. I saw these cookies a few different times, and thought about how amazing they would be. The cookies are listed to be made with shortbread dipped in chocolate. (Photo
Invitation to Design
One of the hardest things for me planning my upcoming wedding reception was figuring out how to design the whole thing. There’s so many beautiful pre-printed designs available these days that itd be easy to head to Michael’s and just buy a box set, add some names and send them out. However, being a designer,
How to Have a Designerly New Years: 2013
Its always a struggle to figure out what to do for the new years. While its fun to go out, its expensive, and crowded, and takes a lot of time and energy, but staying home just doesn’t seem to do justice for the new year. This year, we found the perfect medium, when we were
My First Hawaiin Art Walk in Lahaina
I was really excited when I received an invitation from an old roommate letting me know she was getting married… in Hawaii! I think a lot of people have “destination” weddings knowing not many people will come, but there was no way I was gonna miss this. Of course, the wedding was the main reason
Hand Me a Crayon And Let’s Color!
I had the great fortune of being asked to do some freelance work for the Great Park in Irvine, CA. I posted before about the seasonal pins I had done for them, and that project actually came after this one. However, I’ve been lazy and haven’t exactly been posting things on time (sorry!) Back in
Bowls
One of the best things about dating another designer is getting to bounce ideas off one another. Often times I’ll send Matt ideas for things I’m working on, and he’ll send me projects he’s working on and we’ll get one another’s take on things. Recently Matt has been doing some extra freelance work for his

“I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.” — Saul Bass
