Daily Affirmations

I realized that I’ve never posted these! These were inspired by a comic I read regularly titled 「メンタル強め女子白川さん(Shirakawa-san, The Girl With A Rather Strong Mental Health)」and the titular character, Miss Shirakawa, makes herself self-affirmation cards and stores them in a cute tin. She flips through these cards whenever she feels a little bleh. Anyways, I […]

Avian August 2022

I forgot to post these! Avian August is a doodle event hosted by the Cookie Dove. I’m a sucker for these drawing prompts; they’re good for studying coloring and form, and I get to draw birds. My goal was to work on an ill 30-45 minutes per day max. Made it through the month and […]

Welcome To Flocking Street!

For those of you who don’t know, I also “do” dollhouse miniatures. “Doing” is a very loose term because for me, because it is a collection of activities serving one goal: to tell a story. Growing up, Sylvanian Families were a luxury toy that I could only get if I asked my Grandma in Japan […]

The Corpse Collector (English)

This was a pitch for a “death positivity” comic anthology that didn’t make it. But I sure do love me a good yokai comic! I went for a nature documentary narration instead of a dialogue, resulting in me watching hours of David Attenborough shows to pick up his “feel”. 2019, digital, printed for SFZF only.

The Oni Wife and Her Husband (English)

I made this mini comic during my kids’ winter break. It was originally for an anthology about the element of Earth, and naturally I went with the concept of earthy flavors. I unfortunately didn’t get a spot in the anthology but decided to finish the comic as a warm up since I haven’t done a […]
