Like, really. Where has the time gone? It's already July and that's just crazy. The months go by so fast sometimes I wonder if time is really going by that fast or is it just me?

But yes, just a small update on myself and what's been going on. I have been uploading work here and there. Couple of wallpapers and an illustration. I haven't actually worked or started anything else since. Life has just been crazy to be honest. My sister had a baby a couple of weeks back so I am an aunt again ^_^ and since my sister has been living at home, all my time is pretty much taken up by either work or family. I am usually exhausted by the end of the day. But I will still be working on the list I have down there. My sister is here until mid august and since Ramdan (Month of Fasting) is starting soon, I might take a small hiatus from dA.

As well as the exciting news of being and aunt again, I have more news. I got a job as a designer for a biggish clothing company! I'm still working as a freelancer but they have taken me on long term ^_^ Which I am super happy about because I can actually do what I love for a living. Well, part time for now but it's better than nothing! I was in for a few weeks filling in for their designer as he was on holiday but I seemed to have really impressed them that they wanted me to keep working with them. I am still kinda nervous about it but I am getting the hang of things.

Well, that was my small update. I will keep checking dA, hopefully posting something soon before I go on hiatus. I hope all you have been well and looking after yourselves :3

Until next time, byeum! ♥

Hey.

I know it's 17 days in but Happy New Year!! I hope you all have been doing well. It's been a while but I have been working through my list, which I am happy about. I got real busy over the holidays, with family and just freelance work. Been getting quite a bit of freelance work ^^ I'm still getting my name out there but it is a slow process so I'm being patient with myself.

With it being a new year and all, I'm hoping to expand my work a little more this year. More illustrations as well as wps. Hopefully some experimenting with typography and type animations etc. I am still looking for a full time design job but they're hard to come by. So I'm glad I'm freelancing and working on personal projects.

I also just wanted to say thank you to all those that requested wallpapers from me, and to those that continue to show me love and support. It means so much to me, it keeps me going with this. I just hope I can continue to improve and grow as a designer. I hope you all have a good 2013, that you make the most of it and work hard to achieve your goals and dreams ♥

Take care everyone and you'll keep seeing new work from me ^^

Byeum! ♥

Long Time

5 min read
Hey.

It's been quite a while. To be honest, I don't know how many people still have the time to come on to dA. Or even want to come on dA. I check my messages etc but it's been so long since I uploaded anything. It's been so long since I made anything. Been going through a horrible block for about 6 months now. I'm doing what I can to get out of it but not much has been happening. Losing creativity and motivation really does suck.

I am really really really sorry to keep you all waiting for wps. I know I still have that list to work on.. I do intend to work on them and get them done.
I won't be taking any more requests.
Just with how things have been, I can't promise anyone anything amazing. Slowly trying to build that self belief back up so I'll concentrate on the list I have.

I think once I've done all these, I might just leave dA. I'm still in two minds about it. But yeah, you'll know if I do.

These days, you'll find me mostly on my tumblr

Anyway, hope you've all been well and looking after yourselves. Take care and byeum,

Small update.

Hey guys. I hope everyone is doing good. I hope college/uni/school and life in general isn't stressing you out too much. I know most people are busy with midterms, projects, coursework etc but make sure you're looking after yourselves. Getting enough sleep, eating etc. All that stuff because your health comes first.

I might be taking a small semi hiatus soon. Not 100% sure yet about it but I'll keep working on things for the time being. I've had a few things going on at home, not had time to start any wps but I will. I managed to get a couple of freelance jobs which is awesome because I feel like this might be the start of something. I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere and I also have my graduation at the end of this month! which makes it feel all official ^__^

I am working on a few personal projects and have started a vector. I think once I finish more of the list, I might start focusing more on digital art, like vectors. It'll be good to try something new.

Anyway, I guess that's it. Take care and look after yourselves.

Byeum <3

Was supposed to do this a while back but I sort of forgot but here it is. MakaiAsh featured me and I wanted to return the favour, also add a few more people in there.
----------
MakaiAsh // Ash is incredible at what he does and he gets better and better the more he draws. He is so gifted, has such a creative mind, produces really beautiful drawings and pays such close attention to detail that it blows me away. I'm a huge fan of his work, it makes me feel so much and it never fails to amaze me.

Metric72 // I absolutely love the graphic work by Metric72. His style is definitely something that inspires me. Shapes, angles, lines used in an amazing way. There is simplicity but still so much involved in each, excellent use of colour and amazing typography. Makes me love and appreciate graphic design even more.

threehoursbackx // I've been watching Erika for quite a while now and I've always loved her wallpapers. She has a different take on them. Very simple and minimalistic which turn out real nice. She uses textures really well and has good composition in her wallpapers. I like that she experiments with textures and brushes.

udooboo // Peter is really skilled in what he does, you see it soon as you see any of his work. He produces really clean, crisp and simple wallpapers which are so awesome. Adding extra shapes and using bright colours. So good at manipulating the surroundings too which can give the wallpaper a whole different feel.

thaispm2 // Thaispm2 is very creative with her graphics. Playing around with sizes, bursts of colour, patterns and experimenting with angles. I love how she's able to take so many images sometimes, use them in a real nice way and doesn't look over crowded. It's real cool to see what she can create.
