Hey there, lemon square!


Finally, freedom from school stress. Do you know what that means?

It's time to bring Spaceship to Infinity back from the dead! Haha, this blog had been slowly dying for a while, but good news! I am back for good. I have missed blogging dearly. (But if you guys do follow me on twitter, you can see my teensy little updates there!)

So what has been happening in my life really? Aside from school, I finally am a certified scuba diver! My checkout dive was an amazing experience. (I got to dive with sea turtles!) I am beyond excited to go diving with my parents at our Palawan beach trip next week. I also finally got my first roll of film developed! I can't wait to share with you my favorite shots! 

Art-wise, I decided to finally create a sketch blog over at Tumblr because I want my art to get more exposure. I'll be posting my little doodles, sketches, and all my artsy shenanigans over there. So for all you on tumblr, please do follow thelittlemerms.tumblr.com!

Also, I have been painting quite a lot. It's just very relaxing, and it's also a good way to practice my illustration. I worked on the painting above last night. The story behind it? Well, since it's summer, it's the perfect time to hang out with your best friends. This painting is actually a second version because the first ended up....horribly. (You don't even want to know how it looked like) The second sketch turned out even better than I expected, and I'm having so much fun with watercolor! I'm just not a big fan of the watercolor paper I used. It was rather too "soft" and absorbed the paint too quickly. But all in all, I am happy with the illustration!

Yeah, well that is all for now. How interesting am I?

Thank you guys so much for continuing to support Spaceship to Infinity! You guys don't know all the mushiness of feelings I get just knowing that there are people out there who do read all this nonsense I post. I just want to give you guys one big hug to show how much I appreciate all this. I most especially want to thank you guys for showing my art some love! All the lovely comments you guys send me just make me turn into one big fluffy marshmallow, not kidding. Thank you again to all you astronauts. I love you all! Here's to the next hundred!
