lovely blog by katelynjanes!


I met katelynjanes through blog community, her blog has wonderful information about art and design, plus my work was featured there :) 

Take a peak here from katelynjanes notebook >>>
I had  this great interview with Eva from OhSmile the other day. You really have to check out her store, it’s amazing. Her art work seriously inspires me and makes me feel happy…apparently, that’s what she was going for! (: Enjoy!

Q: How long have you been into the stationary business and how did you get started?
Having graphic design background, and the passion for drawing, I started etsy gift shop in 2008. ohSmile brand wishes to share the simple joy of life. Design, illustration or handmade gifts are my interpretation of life into a fantasy world. I hope to portray joy of life through objects around us often taken for granted. Life needs a little bit of imagination and a lot of smiles.

Hidden pattern!


Many things around us are full of hidden codes; ready for us to decode. I challenge myself to see things beyond what they appear to be. When I start to look at things in a different perspective, I start seeing patterns. What do you see if you start seeing?!

Original black and white line drawing :: Fly to FREEDOM



I finished this black and white line drawing last night. I like it a lot. Just listed on etsy for sale. I had no intention to make it look like a crane or bird, it created itself while I was drawing. I love this creating process; so random and so free! 
Below is my original drawing. If you are interested in this print, please visit my etsy shop here!I can also make any custom order. Thank you for looking!

Freedom




Do you like my collages? These are random, no plan, no draft, no brainstorm, just one step after another, it feels free. Design just forms in creating. I pick one piece of paper and a photo, story forms itself.....

This is ultimate F R E E D O M !

Her work include the Viceroy hotels in LA and Santa Monica, the Avalon in Beverly Hills, and the Tides in Miami Beach.

A designer I respect much. Hope you will too.
