HBD Sandra Oh! . . . #sandraoh #illustration #illustratedportrait #portrait #watercolorportrait #womenwhodraw #womenillustrators #womencreatives The Lion King had me wanting all the baby lion cubs and missing South Africa. But then I remembered that time a 14-month-old lion bit me. How Pumba and Timon survived with a lion as their BFF is beyond me. 😜 Swipe to see Jay the lion getting a bit outta me! 😳 . . . #thelionking #lioncubs #lions #thelionpark #johannesburg #gauteng #southafrica #entabeni #safari #africansafari July is National Ice Cream Month and there's no better way to celebrate than by eating the world’s best ice cream! FYI that’s @jenisicecreams and no that’s not an exaggeration. . I have a new printable for a fun ice cream activity #ontheblog as well as some thoughts on why Jeni’s is my favorite and it’s not just because of her ice cream but @jenibrittonbauer is such an inspiring creative and human being.

All your most deeply held conceptions of who you are and how you function in the universe have completely changed over night. | Dr. Alexandra Sacks . Throughout my pregnancy I pushed myself creatively in a way I didn’t think was possible considering that I was well, pregnant. I expected that that creative drive would continue and that I could just pick up right were I left off once I came home from the hospital. I may have had some unrealistic exceptions. 🙈 Postpartum recovery has been a doozie this time around. One challenge, I’m crying a lot (I even cried about Kurt Cobain 😳🙈), I share more of my postpartum experience #ontheblog and how the ladies at @mombrain have been life-saving during this insane change in my life. Link in my profile. . This is the first painting I’ve done since baby girl arrive. Also notice my postpartum belly hanging out on my desk? I intended to just photograph my work, but this sums up my life perfectly: recovery and discovery. . . . #momlife #mommylife #postpartum #postpartumlife #thisispostpartum #artlife #lifeofanartist #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #bosslady #creativepreneur #creativelife #artblogger #womeninbusiness #womenwhodraw #womenartists #wip #workinprogress #workingmom #watercolor #watercolorillustration #watercolorpainting #encouragement #sketch #sketching You will never always be motivated. You have to learn to be disciplined | Gymaholic . Advice for people who work out, but every bit applicable for freelance creatives. Raise your hand if you sit around waiting to be motivated or inspired 🙋‍♀️🏻 I don't literally sit and wait, but I have told myself that I need to create the right vibe in my space in order to create. Rarely do I have that space and the time to create that space. So I’m learning to just take what I can get because creating art is more important to me than tending to that pile of dirty laundry on my bathroom floor (at least that's what I have to tell myself 🤢). . #momlife #mommylife #freelanceillustrator #artlife #lifeofanartist #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #bosslady #creativepreneur #creative #creativelife #artblogger #womeninbusiness #womenwhodraw #womenartists #wip #workinprogress #workingmom #encouragement #sketch #sketching I hate Instagram. The algorithm is frustrating and no matter how many times I hear or tell myself that the numbers don't matter I can't help but get discouraged by a decline in my number of followers (who probably aren't all real anyway) or the likes on my posts. . I called my Inay (mother) on her birthday and she asked me how my work was coming along. I started to cry (haha joke, Filipinos don't cry in front of each other 😏) and told her how hard things have been. Juggling personal life, self-care, creating a business, and making art seems to be an impossible feat. It's hard to know which should be of most importance when trying to attain creative success. . My mom told me how talented I was and affirmed that I was a hard worker (it doesn't always feel like what when you don't have much to show for it). She also told me to be patient and that my time will come. All this beautiful encouragement coming from a woman who finished law school, failed the bar thrice (I was six months old btw), and then went back to school when I was 12 and she’s now an RN. She knows my struggles all too well and I will always be grateful for the road that she has paved for me. . But also funny story, when I graduated high school she told all her friends that I was going to university to be a starving artist (as they were literally handing me cards with money in it). 😒 I'm using this post as receipt that Asian parents come around and stop nagging you about going into medicine and see your creative potential. 😜 HBD Inay! Swipe 👉🏽 to see my lovely mom! All I see is purple and orange much like the purple of Megan Rapinoe’s hair and that Netherlands orange.

He has mastered batting his lashes and saying “pretty please!” And this is what I get for giving into his cute little pleas: gouges in my paint palette. I’m starting my first painting since being a mom to two littles and this is pretty symbolic of my life right now. 😅 . . . #momlife #mommylife #postpartum #postpartumlife #thisispostpartum #artlife #lifeofanartist #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #bosslady #creativepreneur #creativelife #artblogger #womeninbusiness #womenwhodraw #womenartists #watercolor #paintpalette Oh hello there! It's been a while. Been taking some much needed time off to catch up on sleep, get to know this little girl (finally getting a routine down!!!) and to get to know my new self (new body, new emotions, new routine, new relationships...postpartum moms you feel?!). It's been a trip, but I'm relieved that I'm finally getting a hang of all this new life. .⠀⠀ This photo was taken on Eliza’s Blessing Day.

I’m a good patient, but only for three days max. 😅 I love all the baby snuggles and binging Downton Abbey (finally finishing it up now that the movie is coming out), but I also miss having a routine which includes time in my studio, painting. I recently read that a woman should honor the recovery time of her postpartum body. So as a compromise to my creative self and my postpartum body, I’m going to get back to creative life slowly. Today I switched up the paintings on my board to get the inspo and creative wheels turning again. Afterwards, I got right back to baby snuggles and Downton Abbey. Compromise for the body and soul! 🥰 . . . #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #womenartist #womenillustrators #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodraw #representationmatters #calledtobecreative #creativewomen #watercolorillustration #fashionillustrator #lifeofacreative #wip #creativepreneur #creativelife #creativeprocess #creativepreneur #ladyboss #bossbabe #womeninbiz #womenentrepreneurs #artblog #artbloggers #inthestudio #onthedesk #postpartum #momlife #postpartumlife I've been trying to figure out how to tell you folks here that I had a baby girl without too much drama or fanfare, and the only thing I can think of is that Geico Collect Call commercial from 2001: Bob Wehadabbayitsaboy. I was eleven...how do I remember that?! Anyway, Ihadababyitsagirl. 👶🏻 . #babyannouncement #momlife #motherhood A portrait of a mother | Happy belated Mother’s Day to mothers past, present, and future. Mothers Day can be bittersweet for some and as always I want to acknowledge those who are missing their mothers and those who are longing to be mothers. My heart goes out to you. . . . #mothersday #happymothersday #mothers #portrait #portraitpainting #watercolorillustration #watercolorpainting Harry Styles looking Gucci at the Met Gala. . I use to tease my baby sis for her obsession with this dude.

I created a review of mine and Anthem’s favorite children’s books that help us learn about our Asian-American heritage #ontheblog. Head to my bio for the link. . . . #childrensbooks #asianamerican #asianamericanheritagemonth #culture #books #heritage This time last year my desk was covered with Met Gala sketches. So ready for tomorrow night! Unless baby girl decides to make her debut. In which case, the husband says he'll set up a way for me to follow the red carpet footage while I'm in labor instead of playing my meditation music. Deal! . . . #fashionillustration #fashionsketch #metgala #metgalaheavelybodies #onthedesk #creativelife #calledtobecreative
