The second illust in my Sailor Moon series, Sailor Mercury 🫧! My fave aspect of the show that got me hooked was that the Sailor Team kept expanding. All the different personalities made it so fun to watch every week! I was first introduced to the show when I was still living in Hong Kong.

I seem to be drawing lots of nostalgia lately. 🥹 Here are some stationery and items I have seen and/or used when I was little. Do you recognize any of them? Read on to see what I included.

Growing up, I was always fascinated with stamps from different countries. I just loved how they came in all sorts of designs, shapes, and sizes and each one felt like a tiny piece of art from somewhere far away.

I have this vague memory from when I was really little of my mom playing The Sound of Music soundtrack for me. I think she used it as a lullaby. Or maybe while I was drinking milk… Honestly, I don't know why this memory stuck, but hearing those songs now makes me all warm and fuzzy. 🥹

I’m so proud to announce that my zodiac tarot card series is complete! ✨ I thought it would be a neat idea to draw my OCs enacting each zodiac and so this series was started in 2024. I ended up expanding it to include more characters in order to fit each zodiac sign better.

I've never felt like such a late 30s person until today. Happened upon a super amazing $400 Dyson vacuum at Costco. It was lightweight and fully flexible that would allow one to vacuum in the nooks and cranies. And it made me feel giddy inside. 🥹 But...

Come take a bite out of this delicious strawberry and banana crepe! 🍓🍌 But wait a minute Bear, that part isn’t edible I think… 😆 Throwback to when I tried my first Harajuku crepe. Super yummy!

Part 2 of my Oahu Food Journal is here! There are way too many iconic foods in Hawaii that I couldn’t fit in part 1. Here are some more of my faves. My ultimate fave is oxtail soup. It’s so hearty and flavorful; perfect pair with rice. Do you recognize any of these foods? 🤗

Is it even summer if you're not sipping something cold by the pool? 😎🍉 There's just something about that first juicy bite of watermelon on a hot day. Refreshing, sweet, and basically summer in fruit form! Do you have a favorite summer fruit?

Come join our cake party! 🍰 Finally getting around to do some DTIYS challenges and the first one is for @/nihorin. So sorry I’m late with this! 😭 Your OCs are super fun to draw and this makes me hungry for cake~ Your aesthetic is so pretty and inspiring, I enjoy seeing it on my feed! 🤩

Saw trailers for the new anime Goodbye Lara. The 90s style aesthetic and the feel-good theme song brings me back to the good old days. There's just something about it that feels familiar and warms my soul. 🥹😭 Can't wait to start watching when there are more episodes!

I’m so happy to unveil the final card in my zodiac tarot card series: Virgo! ♍🥳 Virgos are detail-oriented, analytical, practical, and hard-working. Raise your hand if you are this sign. 🥹Over the course of this series, I learned to have patience in the process of illustrating.

Wuthering Waves new update is out already. I'm so behind on my art and also in gaming. I'm still exploring the latest update of Genshin. 😥

Who else loves the Costco food court? 🥰 Besides being super affordable, my absolute fave item on the menu is Chicken Bake! It’s a rolled bread with chicken, bacon, and cheese. Do you have Costco where you live? What’s your favorite menu item? 😋

Happy Sailor Moon Day! 🌙 Today is also her birthday! 😁 The themes and lessons about the power of love, embracing diversity, and fighting for justice was so ahead of its time and it's still so relevant today. The world definitely needs more love and empathy right now. 🥹❤️

What’s your favorite vacation destination? Mine is most definitely Japan. There’s nothing more memorable than riding their rail and seeing the scenery go by. The city has its own charm but the rural areas are also very beautiful, too! ✨🤩

Wow, totally didn't expect so many new Genshin Impact character drops today! They all look so beautiful but of course, the real treat is the Tsaritsa! 🤩 After the loonnnng wait, she's finally here~ I'm super excited for her story arc. ❄

Here comes the sun! 🦁 Leo season is almost here, and you know what that means: confidence, warmth, and a little bit of dramatics (in the best way). Leos are natural-born leaders with hearts as big as their personalities. They light up every room and will fiercely protect the ones they love.

What a fun time it was drawing this filled-to-the-brim yummy taiyaki parfait! It certainly puts me in the mood for some ice cream right now. Thank you to @/rashiku_riricoco for this fun DTIYS art challenge! It’s always inspiring seeing your cute characters and yummy food art! 🤤🍦

Happy Pride! 🌈 Pride means different things to different people. But there's also a lot of confusion out there which is causing a lot of misconceptions, division, and hate. Let's clear some things up. No judgment. This post mostly covers gay/straight misconceptions... cont.

Don Quijote is my favorite supermarket and I’m super grateful there are stores in Hawaii! It’s always fun to discover new Japanese snacks, cosmetics, and other fun things.😌 Their own branded JONETZ gelato are simply heaven! This is why I always end up buying WAY more stuff than I expected. 😂

When you thought you have it all figured out and made the jump but the grass isn't actually always greener on the other side. But I guess that's life. It's the journey and experience that matters. 🌟

Currently feeling the too-many-ideas-to-focus-only-on-one-or-two for my art account. 🙃 I've narrowed it down to: food art and positive art. But I also want to fit in the occasional art challenges and cute animal art. 🥲

It’s almost Cancer season! 🦀✨ Cancers are empathetic, caring, and super loyal. They're the natural caregivers always putting family and loved ones first. This one's for all the Cancer babies out there. You're amazing! ♋

Happy Friday! 🥳 The gang is here to bless you with positive affirmations. Everything is going to be 👌! Today I’m challenging myself to draw in an ultra cute style for this DTIYS challenge from @/kdeeillustrationz. What do you think?

It’s your time to shine Geminis! ♊ This zodiac is known for being fun, sociable, and adaptable. By the way, I feel like I’m getting more fancy with each tarot card lately. I almost want to redo some of the old ones.😅 I’ve always wanted to draw Lily of the Valley and they were super fun to draw here!

Congratulations @/aydoodlediary on reaching 1.3k on IG! 🥳 Your lovely art always gives me nostalgic vibes and reminds me of whimsical illustrations from trendy magazines. Always an inspiration! You also capture the little candid moments so well. I look forward to seeing more art from you! 🤩

New series alert! 🥳 A food journal inspired by all the meals that left a mark on my heart (and stomach). Shoutout to my artist friends for inspiring me to start this! First stop: Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. 🌺 Oʻahu is one of many islands in the Hawaiian chain.

Happy Friyay! ✨ Is this you after work? 😆 No worries because we survived, congrats! Let’s enjoy the weekend in our comfy/lazy mode~

Happy National Boba (Bubble Tea) Day! 🧋 Milk tea has always been a staple in Asian culture. I grew up drinking Hong Kong milk tea which is known for its strong and smooth taste. It wasn’t until the 90s when Taiwan’s ultimate combo of milk tea and tapioca balls started spreading throughout Asia.
