Tabling at the Small Press & Art a book fair at PNCA 💗 If you’re in Portland, come through 🌈 I’ve got art prints, pins, postcards, zines, and mystery bags ✨

⁣Come through tomorrow (Saturday) for Azn Zine Fest! There will be 100 Asian Zinesters here in Portland, which is amazing and exciting to see what folks will have to offer 😋 pop on a mask and see you there 🌈⠀
⠀
Been m.i.a lately but trying to push through some health issues still. Quietly and slowly making new art and things. Hoping to debut things at local events over the next month or so 💗💕⠀
⠀
Or at least bring some of my new mystery bags, and make more community ✨👽✨⠀
⠀
Edit: It’s the Small Press & Art Book Fair at PNCA. Please mind the mistake, I’m brain foggy today 😅😭

⁣Last month I got obsessed with Le Poisson Steve and made a couple drawings of him. Couldn’t get it out of my head 💃🏽🕺🏽😝⠀
⠀
Have you seen the video? 🐠🌊✨⠀
⠀
Lately been doing my best to get back to doing art so I can post here again. But while dealing with so many overlapping challenges. Thank you for any likes, shares, comments and support y’all have given us. Everything means a lot. Hope to have the health be back here, but gotta see a guy (my p*p) about newly developed neuropathy 😩😵‍💫 ⠀
⠀
Ever had so much happen, all at once but overlapping and sort of non-stop? Over a longer period of time? If you have, what did you do to ground yourself and how did you get out of it? If you don’t wanna walk about it, feel free to drop your favorite nature emojis in the comments 🌷🍁🌈🪐💧⠀

⁣The final drawing, the first version, and the sketch ✏✨⠀
⠀
Experimenting with simpler goofier work an going back to expressing how I feel exactly when I feel it. When I’m feeling my worst, I tend to hide. Like a wounded animal 🐈⠀
⠀
I don’t wanna do that anymore. I’ve grown a lot and it’s best to connect with other people when we feel down. Yet that’s the hardest time to do it. That feels like the opposite of what we should do⠀
⠀
Do you hide (post a blue emoji)? If you reach out to others when you’re down post a pink emoji 💗💧🌸🦋🌷⠀
⠀
Or what are some activities you like to do? I’ve spent my time sewing, sketching, playing games, and chilling on twitch 🎮👾🎨👩🏽‍🎨🧶⠀
⠀

This year I’ve been slowing down and trying to get back to enjoying my art practice again. Drawing silly things but also doing smaller, quicker studies and sketches. ⠀
⠀
⠀
When life is stressful, I’ve let these things fall off. With ADHD, habits aren’t really a thing. Forget one day, and who knows when you’ll start again. I’d like to change that (as best I can)⠀
⠀
⠀
If you’re an artist, do you regularly sketch or do studies? If you’re not, which of these is your favorite sketch?
