Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!

Just a whole sketchbook spread of ✨ Project Hail Mary fanart! ✨

I read the book right before the movie came out, and then watched the movie TWICE in theaters—I have not been this obsessed with a book/movie in A REALLY LONG TIME, which is exciting!! It kinda feels like being a teenager on Tumblr again, you know what I mean? Except I now have the responsibilities of someone in their 30s, so I get a lot less time to draw in my sketchbook, but I’m doing what I can here haha…;;

Anyway, this was a fun excuse to play in my sketchbook a bit more often! Good times were had 👎👎👎

In my Canva infographics era

/ Scicomm /

I work as a science communicator at a planetarium. Part of my job is making social media posts explaining the latest space and/or science news.

I’ve mentioned before that I want to get more into information graphics, and I would love to be able to create cool things like science comics and hand-drawn infographics more often, but realistically that’s not always possible. But I figured that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing…maybe I can’t make a comic, but I don’t have to settle for a regular text post either. So I’ve been trying some kind of middle ground…now when I have to make one of these posts, I try to ask myself—is there a more visual way to show this? and can I make it in Canva at my work computer?

Thirty-three

It’s another birthday comic! 🥳

(no, today is not my birthday…it’s actually in October! but these take me some time to make.)

This is the second on my “birthday comic series”—you can find the first one here. It was quite a year, but all’s well that ends well, right? right…???

Painting some trees

/ Art & Comics / , , ,

This morning was my first time attending a ✨ botanical sketching meetup! ✨

It’s a local group that meets once a month in different parks to draw/paint some nature. I’ve been wanting to paint outside more AND I’ve been wanting to share with other artists, so this was a win-win situation! Plus, there’s something about “go paint around the park and we’ll meet back in an hour to show what we did” that really forces you to focus lmao…..

I got to draw and paint 3 different trees in an hour, which was…surprisingly faster than I expected? Like, what do you mean I can draw and paint a tree with watercolors in about 20 minutes? That’s not even too long! And it’s fun! I should be painting more often!!

My 2025 Planners: Hobonichi Weeks (4)

/ Organization, Reviews /

I had a SUPER BUSY end-of-year season at work, so this is up a little later that I would like, but!! here it is!! THE YEARLY HOBONICHI POST…!!!!

(note: I’m posting this in 2026, but I started writing this in late 2025 so every time I say “this year” or any variations of it, that’s 2025! okay you get it!!)

This is my fourth year in a row using the Hobonichi Weeks as my main planner, and I honestly don’t see that changing anytime soon. This year I even went a step further and got a second Weeks that I use for my job—let me tell you how that went!
