A Lovely Encounter

First of all, I'd like to say a BIG thank you for your support at our MAAD event last Friday! It was our 4th time participating and the response was very encouraging.

As mentioned, we'll be donating 10% of the sale proceeds to a local dog shelter. In fact, this is an ongoing cause we support (no matter where you purchase our products/service; online, flea market etc). So, please continue to give us your support.

Secondly, I've listed our last few pieces of handmade cards and bookmarks on Etsy. Here are just some images of our lovely handmades. More designs can be found on our Etsy store, http://etsy.me/1cQ2FD3 

I won't be creating these items anymore so it's your last chance to get them. Hurry over to our store now!

Lastly, I'd like to end my post with a lovely encounter I've had at the post office yesterday.

I was at the counter packing a customer's order when this lady who was also there to send out some parcels came up to me. She pointed at the Christmas postcards I was holding in my hands and asked if I drew them. I told her I did and she exclaimed 'Wow, they're beautiful. You're really great!'. As we were the last two customers to leave the place, we chatted abit outside the post office.

Apparently, she'd just sent her daughter to an art school and she couldn't help but feel concerned about her career path after she graduates. I shared with her what I do as an illustrator/designer besides freelancing; selling my works at flea markets, doing consignments and having my artworks licensed by art licensing companies. I told her that I'm very happy because I'm doing something I love. She seemed impressed. Finally she smiled at me and said, 'You are very brave. All the best to you.' 

Yes, it may not be any easy path but it's definitely one of the greatest choices I've made. :)

Thank you!

Thank you for your participation on our Christmas Lucky Draw so far! 

Those who missed our earlier post, you still have time to participate. Just scroll one post down for the details.

Few days ago, I received a message from a sweet lady from the US telling me that she loves my work. She then went on to purchase 3 art prints from my Etsy store for her daughters' bedroom. Encouragement as such always make me very happy! ^^ 

Well, these are the 3 prints she'd chosen.

1) Bliss 2) Somewhere Over The Rainbow 3) Fly Me To The Moon

And they're nicely wrapped for Christmas!

 If you've started your Christmas shopping, you might want to visit our Etsy store for some gift ideas. 

This year, we'll be donating a small portion of our sale proceeds to a local non-profitable dog shelter. Hence, when you show your support for us, you're also helping our furry buddies! 

We love custom order as well, just drop us a message.

Have fun shopping!

In case you're wondering about the adventure of Nono and Binnie, I have to put that on hold as I'm working on my gift cards series now. But I'll be posting some of the designs here as well, so continue to stay tuned! :)

Calling All Dog (animal) Lovers!

This video which I'm about to share with you is going to break your heart, especially if you're a dog lover.. I cried watching Mami suffered and died. But I'm sure she is in a happy place with the Angels now.

If you're reading this, I'm pleading with you to please help save the remaining dogs and cats. I do not have the heart to see another one being put to sleep.

Every little effort counts.

Simply by saying a prayer for them or sharing this video could help save another life.

But surely it will change the world for that one dog.''
