Hooray for a successful month of journaling since returning from my hiatus! ^.^
kawaii journaling at Blerdcon DC
I seriously tried to complete some missing pages during a pop culture convention (there will be more about Blerdcon soon!, btw ^.^) …
while working my table no less >.<
Needless to say, it wasn’t a go ~
but I was able to take some shots to share this month’s creativity + content
I get to start August pages this week –
So here’s what July looked like. ^.^
Enjoy ~

I am so grateful for so much ❤especially when tattoo customers let you go to town with a basic concept + a lot of afro-inspired creativity!got to mix Doctor Who’s Galifreyan (language) with capoiera inspo for this foot piece ^.^always happy when Tom is happy! ❤ Thank you ALWAYS for the fun ❤I also have an Orange Moon page set-up that I’m working on – because her first tattoo is in part inspired by Erica Badu’s ‘Orange Moon’
