Hi everyone! I just opened an Etsy shop :)

For now I am selling some of my old stickers, but I might list some more items in the future. I'm really excited and nervous to have these up online because they've been sitting on my shelf for years and I hope I can give them out to people who will enjoy them!

Currently I have two variants of my peachy juice box sticker and all 3 of my Yuri, Viktor, and Yurio stickers. Please check them out under my carrd!

I love your art style SO MUCH!!!!!!! How did you develop it?

Thank you SO MUCH!!! 🥰 I started getting into art when I was pretty young; I got a lot of inspiration from watching anime. I have always looked up to other artists and it took me a very long time to feel happy with my own abilities. It wasn't until just recently (around 2018) where I finally developed my own art style and I could be proud of it!

#15- Kuwei-Yul-Bo's One Last Remaining Brain Cell

Project Info

Gang Name: Kuwei-Yul-Bo's One Last Remaining Brain Cell

Title: Love

Synopsis: Grade-A student Kuwei Yul-Bo struggles to keep him and his father afloat in a small town in California by grading papers and doing other people’s homework for twenty dollars each person. He’s confronted by rich but shy kid Wylan Van Eck to help him write a love letter to Arjun Bhakta--the deaf boy whose love for reading and photography is so profound, it takes a lot of people’s breath away. 

Kuwei agrees to help him, and he doesn’t expect becoming friends with Wylan, and he definitely doesn’t expect to fall for Arjun.

Short excerpt:

“Who writes a letter?”

“I thought it would be romantic?”

Kuwei rolled his eyes, ripped the envelope open, and read the top of the letter. ‘Dear Arjun Bhakta’--nope, I don’t need to read any more of this. Kuwei gave the letter back to him and placed his hands on the handle bars. “Dude, we’re in ASL together. I’m not helping you. Good luck, Romeo.”

“Wait--!” Wylan sprinted to the front of the bike and put his hands on the bars, stopping Kuwei. “One letter. Please. I’ll do whatever you want--I’ll even give you extra money. I’m not good with words, and I know you are.”

“No.” Kuwei said forcefully, shoving Wylan out of his way before biking home. 

This is not your typical love story. This is a love story, yes, but not one where people get what they want.
