Missed You

Some photos from last weekend!

Got to see my dear friend again. She's also busy with her studies so we don't see each other often. We also took some cheki having bought a new instax. (cheki all the moments!)

 

Outfit & make, wearing my new i.Fairy black pearl lenses (review in next post!!11!!)

 

Purikura!

Out with my sis the following day. We've got grapes growing in the garden, so excited. *0*

So I ended up going to get my ear pierced last night, at a bit of a random streak. Ultimately, I am going to get it done up all on this side (3-4 more to go woooo!!!). Surprisingly, did not hurt as much as they usually do. Also have decided to gauge up 1 or 2 more sizes.
Not sure, but we'll see! I said I wouldn't, b ut then I lost my quartz plugs so :^(

As always, thanks for reading.

Have a good weekend!

In Love, In Lust.

School let out but my hands have been tied with work.

A lot has been happening! I was thinking of taking an art class for leisure this summer, but I can't even fit it in my schedule. I was told by one of my clients and boss I should go into teaching art. And while that was my idea for the longest, I'm not so sure at this point.

On the bright side, I got a new phone! Bought the Galaxy SIII in white. I've yet to get photos of it with the cute case and glittery stuff, my net has been down at home for the longest.

The fact that my hard drive is running out of space also keeps me from shooting/editing dSLR photos as well. -_-) I've also been wanting to work on a few projects but I'm pulled in too many directions.

In other news, I fell in love with Justin Davis all over again. Hopefully, I can get a ring or two by the end of the summer. (Plenty of time because summer lasts until October in Texas lol)

Ringsss ahhhhh! At the moment, these are my favorite. I am also too lazy to do size conversions and deal with a shopping service, so I am holding off. `___`)

And earringssss!!! I plan on getting my ears pierced a 10th and 11th time, so have to make room. *_*

 _____________________________________

I also got my nails done for the first time in my life, can you believe it? I was really pleased with the result, but not the shape. I ended up cutting them shorter and pointing them after this.

The front face cam on the SIII is soooo good omg. My hair is growing too, but I guess you can't tell here. Got an atrocious haircut a month or so back. I currently have blue/turquoise accents (tried and failed silver), but I want to and probably will go back to purple.

How is everyone?

:^)

The home stretch! + News

I haven't pulled in all nighter in ages, but due to work/life/everything.. here I am at 1:30 AM writing this paper due in about 18 hours. If I didn't have to go into the office tomorrow, I'd not even worry about this but... ah!

Thankfully, after this paper I've only got one exam left!!!1111!!!  

I'm too tired to be excited.

Laughable, but my worst form of escapism/avoidism is internet shopping -_-)

I bought two pairs of lenses, a pointed hoodie, and am finally buying my own instax 25 mini and a galaxy s3 next week *__*

I somehow managed to get into the A-KON 24 AA, which I was really hoping for. So those of you in Dallas at the end of May, come find me! I'll only be doing button commissions and art book sales this year.

Thank you for reading, I've been meaning to update but time is never on my side. :'( Hope those of you in school do well on your exams!

A bit blue

 Hello!

I dyed my hair! Dark brown with a turquoise crown. ❤ ▽ ❤

So this weekend, Phi, Mar and I tried out a different restaurant, Hanaki! Never had ramen outside of H-Mart so was pretty skeptical.

Unfortunately, we arrived right before the dinner rush, so I felt really self conscious pulling out the dSLR with the wait staff watching me. (.   . ;;;;

A beautiful blueberry cream filled pastry ✖☖✖) ❤ !!!

I got miso ramen and vegetable tempura. Miso ramen is soooo good, the feel of the restaurant is very cozy, I love the personal atmosphere.

 ☆

Earlier while waiting for Phi to get off work, we grabbed tea & lunch at H-Mart, took puri and did a bit of shopping.

Spring time (summer in Texas? haha) so can't wear solid black anymore! I've taken a shine to white shorts with black patterns. Onto the gets!

I also bought some heels. I've been looking for a very similar style for YEARS, though ideally, they're have an ankle strap, this will definitely suffice. I love the gold studs on the super low heel. I've a bit of a height complex sometimes (173 cm) and these bump me up to right under 178 cm @_@. They were on sale, so really very little complaint, the fabric is lovely.

We're also going to a Lolita meetup soon so I bought some things to complete an outfit & make my shoes suitable for Lolita (ha).

 I'm not quite sure how I'll go about temporarily attaching the bows to the shoes (or where), but I wanted the necklaces to be kind of an anklet? We'll see. Still a few days left!

For the time being, I'm going to be posting things and event photos from back in January and onward, bear with me!

Thank you for reading!

Sketch post (yet again...!)

In the process of editing outing photos and such, but in the meantime, a lot of sketches I've done during lunch break and before classes!

A few of these (top right 3, 2nd top left) are from my postcard project, which was to draw on the back of chipboard and mail to friends as postcards. Also held a small giveaway on tumblr for 3 of postcards. The rest are sketchbooks photos.

My apologies for these all being instagram photos and not actual scans but scanning takes forever!

ALSO! At the top left is a preview of my new portfolio layout! *__* After agonizing over whether to change my moral-extremist.com domain, I've decided to keep it. So now, I am in the process of finalizing galleries and hard coding. Hopefully will have this up by the end of May. (wish me luck!)

Also from my postcard/custom note cards projects,

just a few progress photos.

These were two of the cards for the giveaway,

done in highlighter, micron liners, and white gel ink.

I've been busy and stressed as always, but booked my flight for a mini-trip the other day. Mega excited for some time outside of this constant never-changing scenery, thank goodness! @_@

Thank you for reading, there will be a few updates this week!

Con prep, new book etc

I like to release sketch compilations because people constantly try to buy my sketchbooks off of me.

Given those are personal things, I don't think I'll ever be able to part with one (ever again).

The most recent book is comprised of 24 B/W works all from 2013. And for the first time ever, the book will be 8 x 10.5, so double the size of past books! Cover is below along with a preview.

(Cost is $15 USD +5 S&H)

Due to the special paper type for the cover (silver cover, black glitter splash page), these books will be made to order for the interested.

Moving on, for this convention I've retired the prints portion as it is costly and time consuming. I just haven't had time to work on anything new and print-ready for about 6-8 months and quite frankly, I don't have it in me to be on Adobe Creative Suite at both work and home.

So, I've ventured into customized buttons?! I gave one a go on Sunday night, rushed and wrong paper type but still looks okay. I've got to refill my markers ahhhhhh, there's still a lot to do right now.

Thanks for reading!

Dear My Friend

Friday after work, I got to have a purikura date with my life long (it seems this way haha <3) friend, Annette. She came back home for spring break, I think it's been a few months since I'd seen her. Missed her to bits! T____T

Creepy puri in the middle!

 

Had a light dinner and some lattes at Cafe Brazil *3*) and tried a new mango bubble thing which was way too cold, considering how cold and slightly rainy it was that night.

There's a lot of cute new cafes opening in Dallas, so we're excited to try them all after spring semester is done, woo! 

 

I haven't been feeling well, all in all. School is out in a month and I do not think summer classes is a wise choice given my lack of sanity in these past months.

Lazy instaram photos because I can't be arsed to charge my camera and running out of space on my hard drive ( T A T ), that will all change soon! Haha, I hope...;;;

Thank you for reading!
