I started making comics since 2005

 Hello, people of the world. 

So much has happened in my life, and it's mainly from drawing. I clean, cook, take care of my kids, and draw on my tablet all my other free time. 

    Usually, I can do one page to two pages a week, lately, it's been five a week. Wow. I don't know why that is, I have just been really excited about my next book series which is 5 Stars Princesses. 

    I have finished Sweet and Sour, now it's time for the next thing. Sweet and Sour book 3 is being edited, but here are a few pages from it. 

If you haven't gotten books 1 or 2, here they are. 

Sweet and Sour Volume 1

Sweet and Sour Volume 2

I finished my first series, Once it's published it will be official at least, I have worked on this first series since 2018. Wow, has time flown, it's already 2024 that's so crazy. Now I am working on 5 Star Princesses, my goal for this series is 5 books. Now I have much more confidence in doing it I can do it! 

I have created this story since I was 12, it was one of the first books I tried to draw in my sketchbooks in middle school. I was 12 when I started to draw anime, and 5 Star's Princesses was the first story I came up with. 

    Over the years I have re-written it over and over again. This story was starting to hurt my head. I gave up a few times cause honestly, the story itself was hard to work with. It started with the idea that the star queen was dying and gave her powers to her five children, then her sister came unexpectedly and when she saw she was dead she wanted her powers, but it wasn't much. The queen's maid Sabing sent her children down to earth and then the sister kills Sabing. Lymond and Paxtin, the two servants to the star queen, try to get the sister but she leaves. Lymond and Paxtin went to find the queen kids but didn't know where.

    There was more than that, but when I was looking at it later in my life I tried to restart it with the same idea in the beginning, and I restarted it again later in life. I have at least restarted this story with the same beginning about 4 times. And each time...I just couldn't keep going, for one I wasn't sure what this story was really about, I knew who where the characters were, the bad guy, the good guys, but...something was just missing, and I just gave up for a while on it. 

    I have tried writing it, adding more characters, and changing the story a bit here and there. For some reason I wanted to keep going on this one...but it was failing.

    Then one day, in 2022, I was running. I started running in 2020. I have been really into it since, (if you asked me ten years ago I would tell you I would never run, haha.) But anyway, during one of my runs, I was in my imagination world with the songs I was listening to, and one of the songs made me think of 5 stars and princesses. I had no idea why but I was, and for some reason...it hit me. I had a scene in my mind that made this story a whole lot different, and unique. 

    I can't share it now, but it has made me get back into it in 2022. I wrote it, sketched the characters, and the timeline, and I got excited. So I am pretty excited for this story and cannot wait to be published. 5 Star Princesses may or may not be a good name, but I am sticking to it. This story has been different since 12, now that I am 30 I am keeping the name the same. 

Here's the sketchbook clear back then.

Here's now.

POOOORRR Pirates!

 

Hello, people of the world! 

Check out our Pirate video we made during Halloween time. It was fun and chilly with the song Poor Pirates from Spongebob Squarepants Musical. 

For the past months, I have been working hard on Sweet and Sour Book 3, if you still need to get the chance to get book one or book two, click on the links. I have finished book 3 it's now in the processing and editing phase. But I am so excited that I got the drawings done, halfway through getting it published.

This is going to the front cover for Sweet and Sour 3. Pretty exciting!

Other news, working on the next series. Yep, you read that right next seires. I have almost completed Sweet and Sour and now doing the next one which is Five Star Princesses. It's nothing like Sailor Moon, some of told me it reminds them of Sailor Moon, but it really isn't. The story line was so complex it took me about 19 years to perfect. 

I started this story when I was 11, and I am now 30. Over the years I've been re-writing it over and over again.  It actually was frustrating, cause I wanted to do this story it was the first story I created. I have rewrote this story in a different version it was maddening to me I wanted to give up. But one day while I was running it just came to me. I got a scene in my head that happens in the middle of the story and for some reason, it helped me put the story all together, and very different than how I originally wanted it.

Pretty excited about it, already have 50 pages of drawing. 

    

Here's a sneak peak picture of the five-star princesses.

Marvel Characters in my Style

 

Hello, people of the world! 

So since my first vendor, I wanted to do it again. I tried a free one and made little progress with it. I tried another paying market event and honestly, it went so poorly. I don't know what happened. I felt like I was trying to sell my stuff, but there was like hardly anyone there, or hardly anyone came. And they are so close to buying books but then chicken out. It was frustrating. 

BUT! I still want to do it. So if anyone knows any kinds of markets, fairs, or whatever Vendors are wanted please do tell me. It has to be in the Utah County area for that's where I'm at. 

After doing the Disney Princess theme in my style I decided to do Marvel. I am watching the Marvel movies in order and I got to Wandavision, and I don't know why but I just can't get myself to keep going, I love Marvel, and never had a problem before watching them, but for me to watch in order and challenge myself to draw most of the characters is really hard. So I am just drawing some of the Marvel characters. Here is what I got so far.

I didn't like this one so the one on top of it is the better one.

I even watched all the Spiderman movies with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

I want to do more like Loki, Dr. Strange, Aunt Man, and possibly more but that's the main three I really wanna do. My favorite Marvel movie is Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. 

Disney Princess and other Fan Art

Hello, people of the world!

What a fun summer for me it has been, the first thing I got to do when summer started was go to Disney Land, and it was my third time going. The first time was when I was four, I don't even count that for I hardly remember it, but I went when I was 18, and went again just recently and I am 30. I was so sad to leave, I got to be there for three days; honestly, it wasn't enough. I love that place and hope it isn't another 10 years to go again. 

But since I got to go, I was on Disney vibe for a while and decided to draw all Disney Princess characters in my style. I still have a few to do, but here's what I have done so far. Tell me what you think of them.

Can you guess them all? I still need to do Anna and Elsa, and I am counting Jan from Tarzan and Raya. 

I hope to get them done before August, cause in August I actually want to do a Marvel theme, I am planning to watch all the Marvel movies in order and want to draw those characters as well. Let me know what you think about them.

Both Deadpool and Captain America are also by my friend, Sara. 

I plan to do another event where I get to sell my art and books. If you know of any kind of event, fair, farmers market, etc, please reach out! I need help finding more places to display my stuff, thank you so much!

My first Vendor Event!

 Hello, people of the world!

On July 4, 2023, I did my very first vendor event! I prepared and made sure I had inventory and such. Make sure it looks presentable and fun! I had posters of my art, Sweet and Sour books, hardcover journals, children's books, and stickers.

I dressed up since it was on July 4th I wanted to look patriotic, but my dress got a lot of attention, all the other vendors didn't dress up like me, which isn't bad, I just thought maybe I overdressed but enjoyed people telling me how great I looked. 

Also got a spinning wheel that had prizes, it was a huge hit. A lot of kids wanted to spin it, even some adults wanted to and it's so fun! 

My book table had the journals I created plus more.

A lot of people liked my art the most, Nezuko was the most popular one. 

It was only for a few hours but it was so great! there was a parade, a concert, a bouncy house, and a playground. My kids were there with my family and they liked hanging out with me, they helped me a little bit when a new customer came up. (But I think they mainly liked the prizes, they kept asking for a toy or a lollipop, silly girls.)

I was so nervous at first for this is my first time doing this by myself, and the setup was hard to do (plus taking it down), but oh my I freakin loved it! I think I found my calling, I love making art, but since I can't be a ballet dancer art has been a backup plan for me, and doing this is like practicing for a dance concert and performing it on the day. 

If you guys don't know I wanted to be a ballet dancer, I took ballet when I was young and when I got my point shoes at age 12 I didn't want to stop. But unfortunately had to because of my knees, my right kneecap keeps slipping out and it hurts like the dickens when it does. I did get surgery on it in 2019 but man was that awful, and when I tried dancing it's still not the greatest, (probably because I'm old now and out of practice, but still can do the splits I work on it every day). I enjoy watching others doing ballet but am also saddened that it's not me. But art is my combat! I am performing it.

I want to do this again, just need to figure out how, when, and where. If anyone knows of anything in the Utah area that would be awesome!!
