Some meat pancakes I cooked up with a small serving of sweet potato fries! 🥔 🥞 🥓

Also got a cup of cold milk to wash it down. I've recently got a new wok and it's the most nonstick thing ever omg.

Sausage doria for a good hearty meal 🧡🧡

I'm slowly but surely getting my photography backlog smaller and smaller...

Water buffalo + peacock naturalist journal scans! Gotta upload these before I forget/fall asleep again lol 🦜 📖 🌺

I've been wondering... have I pigeonholed myself as a wildlife/animal artist now? Pretty funny since I was never good at drawing animals for my whole life lol. I only really started seriously doing it for my naturalist journal. It's making me a little more confident to pursue more animalistic designs for my personal storytelling projects 💖💖

Delicious dirt! Okay, actually it’s an Oreo bingsu lol 🌱 🪴 🍨 

I love it every time

An art process of an oil pastel study I wanted to try! It's been actually in the works since last month but y'know... manhwa lmao 🖍 🖼 ✨

I'd been watching a lot of oil pastel studies for several months and it's finally got me lol. I found this photo reference. Also, holy crap everyone can see TWO HANDS in my art reels now. I finally got a phone tripod lmao. I'm still figuring it out but so far I'm loving having more control.

I'll post the final piece later!

A really poor man’s french onion soup but still good!! 🍲 🧀 🍞 

Also this is the last photo before disaster strikes that plate rip. I dropped it accidentally while doing my usual balancing eating act lol.

Some salmon pasta with caviar pate! 🍣 🧡

I woke up from a dream today and I should really be making myself some brunch now.  So much to do with all the exercising and art projects I gotta work on 🍄🌿

Whoops, I fell asleep. Here's the week long delayed 7th page of my naturalist journal, featuring the water buffalo and the lovely peacock! 🦜 📖 🌺

Since last year till when I actually started making this journal entry, I thought I had a cow (or some kinda bovine) instead of a water buffalo lmao! Why did no one correct me on iNaturalist for so long!? It just shows how much of a city folk I am 🐃 ✨

Y'know, I didn't know peahens still had some colourful blues in them. Speaking of them birds, have you seen that Youtube video of a lil girl getting spooked by a peacock's call? That's also how I learnt how they sound like 🦚 🔊

Welsh rarebit is the best discovery in human history of all time 🙇‍♀️ 

Catch me making this all the time if some bread is around. If anyone doesn’t know what to do with Worcestershire sauce, this is your sign.

This is gonna put hair on your eyes

Welcome to the sequel to the "I found something random to paint on" project! This time I introduce to the world: gouache painting on that plastic thing that holds an iPod Nano ✨💜🌙

Yes, I knew and used a floppy disk in my life. For some reason my primary school made us use them in computer class. Pretty sure I was the last generation to use them. Only the best to transfer MS Paint art lmao

I miss pixel art. When autumn arrives, maybe...

When you wanna make some stuffed bell peppers but you couldn’t fit all the rice so it’s gonna be a gourmet fancy plating thing 🤌🏻✨

Some chicken noodle soup for my mom and I since she was sick at the time 🍜 

I know you’re not supposed to leave in the kelp but I don’t like to waste food

[e-ziara]

I've been keeping my art on hostage for a week wtf... I was supposed to upload these naturalist journal scans but then I'm stuck in manhwa/manga/manhua limbo. I'm living the best and the worst life right now lmaoo 🦜 📖 🌺

Right now, I'm like 2 pages ahead in the journal omg... imagine being in a situation as an artist hoarding your own work. But feel free to ask me for some comic recs lmao I'm swimming in so many. Also, I notice my jelly gouache are seemingly neon??

tea is best served in nature 🍵 🍄 🌿

just wanted to do something short & sweet! it's been raining fairly often over here, so I have to plan ahead just to do some outdoor shots lol.

I thought I wouldn't make anymore teabag paintings after hoarding this teabag for 2 years, but there's these 2 horribly mild black tea left in the drawers...
