WINTER PIN PREORDER I am so excited and proud to share these pins with you. I wanted to do a few Winter/Christmas themed pins this year and working on these designs was a treat. The Floof Joy pin is based off a Christmas comic I did last year, and the Snuggle Puddle Pin is based off of Coconut and Tuxie forming a real snuggle puddle whenever the weather turns cold! Life inspiring art, as [...]
A little bit each day + repetition = new skill! There’s a short clip of an interview with David Bowie that I love and have tried to keep in mind through all of my creative endeavors. I turned this into a comic just a few weeks ago. Recently I finished Atomic Habits by James Clear and there were several sections inside that reminded me of it: Pushing a little [...]
Are you ready for Fall and Halloween? I am sooooo ready!!! I love this time of year and getting to draw so many fun illustrations. Inktober is coming up too and I'm already planning out what I'll be doing this year for my traditional sketches each day. To kick things off, I’m releasing a very limited Halloween Pin set! The pins are available individually as well as in a [...]
It's just 5 days, but every year they go by so fast. Wow. What a year this was at SDCC! Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by the booth! It flew by quickly as it always does, but this year seemed particularly brisk. Maybe it was all the excitement around the giant Momocheet that welcomed people into the booth? It's hard to predict what designs will lead a [...]
Another year has gone by and another SDCC is upon us, with a lot of changes arriving along with it. For the past several years BeKyoot has been in the far far far upper left corner of the Exhibit Hall, so close to Hall H that we could hear the rumble of screams and speakers as popular panels were underway. For SDCC 2019 we are in a new location, booth 2449, right in [...]
Summer is always an exciting time of the year. San Diego Comic Con (BOOTH 2449!! Be there!!) is coming up again in mid-July which means all of May and June are devoted to bringing new things to life for BeKyoot. This year I am making some BIG changes to the booth that I am really excited to unveil. Two new books will be available this summer as well as 5 new pin designs and [...]
Artblock is a pervasive problem for anyone who creates, so here are my tips on how to break through it and set yourself up for a fresh creative streak! Though not the same thing, artblock and burnout share a lot of similar qualities in my mind. One can very much be the result of the other. In both situations, it’s hard to find something that ignites your passion to [...]
Welcome all ye Bookish People! I have a list for you! If there’s an artist in your life or you are one yourself, this reading list may be of interest to you. Being mostly self-taught, I have found priceless resources in several artbooks and reference books from a range of authors, and I always love sharing the inspirations and guiding lights in my art journey. Since my bookshelves are pretty packed and it’s [...]
Kyoot things are stuck on you! I have updated the shop with a bunch of new products recently and first amongst those items are several new sticker designs and two new t-shirts! I really loved the Stuck On You design with Coconut, so I have that in a sticker and a t-shirt. Coconut is hanging out on the back with a small 'Stuck [...]
Art Challenges are a great way to grow! Are you an artist? Are you looking to grow your skills? If so, I highly recommend trying one! This month I’ve been working on a challenge focusing on texture practice with my friend, Diane Do (Twosenseless on Twitch..check her out!!). Each day there is a new prompt of what texture to practice, everything from stone to lava to feathers! I am [...]
Happy New Year! I hope 2018 was a good one for you and that 2019 will be even better. It always surprises me how fast the year goes. Before you know it, it’ll be April and then May, and then half the year will have passed. It’s scary and exciting too, the onus of the future and all the things you can do with it. Ever since I started my dailies, I’ve had [...]
