Hey Dolls...it's been a while

I still haven't fully recovered my drawing streak, but I'm trying to work on some longer projects for now, and so I probably won't be posting as often as I'd like. 


This week I do actually  have some exciting news however! I found some internship opportunities and I was asked to be a featured artist on a web summit for illustration that's happening in Dublin next month. So I'm pretty stoked about that. 

In other news, I still don't know quite what to do with my little chinese dolls. So I made them into stuff. I was pretty pleased with the results...so pleased, I decided to treat myself to an iPhone sticker with my dolls. My flatmate also decided to get in on the fun and ordered one of my stickers for the back of her iPad. I'm so excited to see what they look like on. Come on, mail!

There's just something about seeing something you made actually on something that's so much fun. (If you're feeling fancy, you can find them in my online shop here.) In the meantime, here are my dolls on stuff that I think is pretty cool :)

This is an iPhone5 sticker that I bought for myself. They're super strong and resilient. The Tenochtitlan Sunset print I had made for my mac is still fresh and lovely after 6 months of being jammed into my bag every where I go -and it doesn't break as easily as a case -  so for me the sticker is a winner.

Animals (動物) and Dolls 娃娃

I wanted to make some board books with chinese animals and numbers, but I haven't gotten around to getting a lot of it done yet (eeeep). Here are some of the things I've been working on this month :)
