polymer clay LEDs

I had fun trying to replicate LED lights, and a LED board. It's all made out of different colored polymer clay, with only a few pieces of jewelry wire as the prongs on the individual LED lights. The board is an actual replica of a board I saw online. I have no idea how it actually works, or what it does, since I've only ever soldered a board once in my life (very successfully though)

some old sketches

A couple of sketches from some older sketchbooks, about a year or a half a year old. Done quickly, while in class, or on the train.

Terribly quality, but I've been taking photos since my scanner is actually worse. I need to get a scanner that can actually scan pictures well. Any suggestions? I actually have no idea what makes a good scanner. I probably should.

quick art post

Very busy... but here's something I've done recently


"lobotomoptopus" illustration for children's alphabet book. full double page spread. Not the final,
there's another version that is cleaned up, more detailed and with text. Gouache


And then here's an old painting I did, which I found on my old flash drive. Goes along with the children book theme.

I like the bear the best. watercolor and ink

art art

Sometimes I do art. I'm pretty scatterbrained in what I like to do... I work on a bunch of different things at the same time, in different mediums, switching madly between them when I feel like it. Pictured here is a embroidered jelly fish, because I felt like trying to embroider something (next time I'll do something more complicated)


And here is a picture that's been in my head quietly lurking, that I did in a couple of hours. Ink wash and graphite pencils. Strange proportions on purpose... although I don't think I exaggerated them quite right.

sushi book- finished

I posted the progress of a little sushi book i was making, and I finished it promptly after I had posted, but forgot to post more pictures. So here we are!


it's a simple, silly little book, like a shrine to my love of sushi. I enjoyed the process of making it, and it was done relatively quickly making it a satisfying rather than frustrating project, which is what I feel when working on detailed and deeply conceptual works.

business card design

A stab at a business card design... I am certainly not a designer, but I gave it my best shot, seeing as I will have to make some actual good professional designs once I graduate. So why not practice now? And I thought it would be nice to have something to give out to the awesome artists I meet, so we can keep in contact (which is nicer than... tearing off a piece of paper and writing down an email that will get lost in an hour)

The text on the bottom bothers me... and the larger words are a little too close to the edge (which I fixed before I sent for some prints of this) but otherwise I'm not too displeased with myself, which is quite a step up considering how harshly I judge my work.

Comments and suggestions welcome (as always) especially from anyone with good design experience!

a little jewelery

I am certainly an amateur jewelery maker, self taught, learning by experimentation and mistake. Here are some of the things I've made recently, that were fairly successful:






I am making more delicate and flowery jewelery, as I am yearning for spring to finally arrive.
