Popcorn of 10,000 Dots and Sleep Deprivation
This was an assignment in my art class—to draw popcorn using texture. I chose stippling, which took 16 hours of sitting on my dorm floor drawing dots, staying up until 3 AM the night before. In the end, I think it looks pretty cool, and it’s 2 feet tall.
Holiday Cards
With Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year happening one after the other, I carved rubber blocks to make holiday cards for friends.
Wallpaper Pattern Ideas
This was another class assignment where I designed two repeating patterns that could be used as wallpaper for a restaurant.

These are analog collages I created from vintage magazines and books! I love to thrift for materials and then spend the day finding images that I think would work well together. I put some TV on, cut the magazines up, and glue for hours. My favorite hobby!
