The Penguin Post

My commentary type posts are still reading a little shallow and I definitely notice a lack of descriptive words, probably due lack of practice with writing, which is why I’m determined to write more of these little pieces to further train my brain muscles for creative writing. Anyway, enjoy the amateur diary-style brain dump in this post!

The Renaissance of I.O.I

When you acquired a rare gem in the stationery world…

Stationery retail therapy and adorable little things that caught my eye this month, so far. Yohaku created minimalistic penguin stamps and I must partake. Cat onsen, no explanation needed. An otter that makes shell madeleines, are you kidding me. I fall for story telling in stationery packaging All. The. Time

Thankfully, this wasn’t our first rodeo so we finished setting up with an hour to spare before the organizers let in the hungry piranhas, I mean customers, lining up at the door.

California Pen Show in a nutshell

After all, if you give a mouse a pen, it’ll want a notebook to write with it in. If you give a mouse a notebook, it’ll want some stickers to decorate it with. If you give a mouse a sticker, it’ll want some pouch to store them in. If you give a mouse a pouch, it will probably want to buy some pens to put in it. I’m the mouse. We are all mice.

My first urban sketching of the year!

Took me a whole month to come out and painting in person (but I still chose the warm conservatory, hehe)
