Happy Halloween! It’s been quite some time since I last posted… Painted my little dino, Rex, looking at the moon

Can you believe he’s almost 15 months old?! Walking, running, climbing, and talking!

My partner’s first Father’s Day! He loves being a dad so much and I couldn’t be more grateful, proud, and happy to have a partner like him. My best boys, my sweet angels.

Happy Father’s Day to all dads and dad figures!!

Happy Mother’s Day! It’s my first year as a mommy and it’s been rough, but, seeing Rex grow, and will continue to, makes it all the worthwhile! To commemorate, here’s my first of, hopefully, many short comics about my nursing journey, titled, “Nursing Musing!”

#comic #illustration #mothersday
Short comic of five images about a little thought I had when my baby was nursing as he looked at me. Hoping I’d look beautiful and serene in his eyes but I actually look like a hot mess!

New profile pic! My little dino now replaces my Pooh bear plush. Rex is eight months now! I can’t believe time went by so fast! Soon, I’ll be attending his high school graduation…ahhh! 😱

Rex got his first government photo taken! Baby passport photos are so fun! We had him sitting on the stool while his dad squatted out of sight holding him so he wouldn’t fall and me behind the photographer trying to get him to look at the camera. He is now half a year old!

Happy belated holidays! Tried to finish this last week… My little dino drooling for some gingerbreads! He doesn’t eat solids yet…but at least he knows they smell good, right?!

A sequential sketch I did for #aapimonth last year. Me and my brother eating our favorite wheel cakes after shopping with our parents at the supermarket! I loved watching the a-yi flipping the batter. My favorite filling is custard! If you’ve had these, what’s your fav flavour?
