During winter break, the family and I made a trek to MASS MoCA. We booked a one night hotel stay close by before continuing on to Albany, NY. This museum…art compound…is simply stunning. There are so many rooms to get lost in and so much inspiring contemporary art. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. A few exhibits […]
WBUR X MassArt Illustration Project
I’ve been wanting to talk about this project for the longest time and I’m so happy to finally be able to share what a wonderful experience it was to work with the MassArt Illustration Professional Freelance Studio program for this year’s WBUR holiday cards. These were the illustrations that captured the holiday spirit: It was […]
MA Conference for Women 2024
WBUR was an event sponsor and so a group of us from marketing, events, editorial and sales attended as well as worked our booth. It was my first time ever attending this conference and I loved meeting our listeners and enjoyed the keynote speakers (Caitlin Clark, Gail Devers, Beverly Johnson and Oprah). Great job by […]
Jack-O-Lanterns Galore
It was a balmy Halloween which made for a more fun and comfortable trick-or-treating experience. Definitely not great cuz global warming but more folks were out and about – little block parties were happening in the street complete with grilling, a classic Ghostbuster music video projected on a giant screen and just an overwhelming sense […]
Making Comics Again
I’ve taken a long break from making comics and it was a necessary break. I needed to re-discover my love of writing and drawing again – appreciating that I have a particular point of view and style that is all my own. I’m not here to measure up to some nebulous idea in my head […]
Red Fish Illustration
A red fish or “big eye chicken” (大眼雞) as my folks call it. I think it’s some sort of snapper. Anyhow, I saw it in an aquarium recently and it looked so cute. I decided to apply what I learned while playing with oil pastels with my Pokemon fan art a day project to this […]
The Fruit Somm(elier)
I really enjoy these video series where you learn more about people’s jobs. Bon Appetit’s is called On The Line and NYT Cooking has one called On the Job hosted by Priya Krishna. I enjoy them both. Anyhow, in this video we get to follow the Fruit Somm(elier), aka Tristan Kwong (IG @fruitsomm), as he […]
Slack’s new helper tool…
is the bane of my existence…which is made worse by the fact that my laptop is so locked down that anytime I need to make a quick update, I need to fill out an IT helpdesk ticket so that someone on that team can update it for me. P.S. I did attempt to re-install via […]
“Canva Create: Work Redesigned” Keynote
If ever a brand were to bring to life and lean into confetti, it would definitely be Canva. Some designers look down on Canva, but I’m not one of them. In fact, I use it myself sometimes. If it can streamline the parts of design work that is super easy but tend to be a […]
New Business (Mini) Cards
I recently re-designed my name mark by using a more beefy type – a nice balance of round and hard edges – and added a swoosh element over the dots of the i’s to symbolize: It’s simple and minimalist which is a hallmark of my work. Instead of having standard-sized business cards printed, I opted […]
