The David Suzuki Foundation is challenging Canadians to commit to spending 30 minutes in nature each day for 30 days, starting on May 1, 2013. Even if you're not Canadian, I would still encourage you to challenge yourself and take just a half hour of your time each day in May to experience nature. I'll be participating in the 30x30 Nature Challenge, and I hope you will too! Click here for more info!



There is also a weekly photography contest happening in collaboration with the Nature challenge throughout May, with prize packs to be won. Click here to go to the information/submission page for the contest!

On an unrelated note, I have been almost as much as usual painting, I just haven't found any time to submit anything for the past few months. It feels a little daunting having a backlog of paintings to write about, I think I like to overexplain my art too much. =I


I recently had Heart of City displayed in a gallery, which was my first time being in an art show. The printing was a nightmare as I merged the background with the heart and had to crop it out and spend hours erasing little invisible paint streaks which only showed up when I lightened it for printing. I was very happy with the result though, the print turned out all soft and velvety looking. I also found out last week that a series of five paintings I did got accepted into another art show with the theme of children's storybooks, which will be happening sometime in August. I haven't posted the series anywhere yet, but they feature scenes from a South Asian adaptation of little red riding hood. 

Oh oh and I just got back from my first trip ever to Hawaii! It was so stunningly beautiful, tropical, and deathly hot, I spent most of my time at the beach, in botanical gardens, and in rainforests getting eaten alive by bugsies! The majority of the photos I took are of trees because they were so neat and I wanted to incorporate them next time I painted a forest. Friends and family viewing my vacation photos didn't think they were quite as neat. =I I'll try to post some here when I have a free moment, if I remember.

Whether you're big or small, trying your best is better than doing nothing at all. -Zara

My name is Zara and I'm an art student at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. I love illustration, designing stuff, and long walks on the beach. I enjoy using all different kinds of artistic mediums, but prefer to work with graphite and digital colouring. You can learn more about the process of how I create my art in my F.A.Q section.

HIRUUUUUUUUUUUUU HAPPY NEW YEARRRRR <33333333333 eek sorry i'm a day late AHAHA BUT ; O ; <333 i hope you had a great year! >U< <3333 and a fun, relaxing break, since you deserve it! ; U ; <3 W-wahh there are hearts everywhere in my message HAHAHA but i do mean it; thank you so much for.. b..being you AHAA i don't know how to really put it, but it's sort of like - i think i said this for wispy too wahh but you really influence me to be... happier for myself ; o ;? because if i can't be happy for myself, then i can't make other people happy, like you do! It's a funny way of putting it i think, but i really admire how you can do so many things that you love, and people love you for that. it sounds like a simple statement, but i know you work really hard for it - just seeing your work, you can feel a sort of... dedication to... the things you care for and love (...? like... the worlds you create with wispy... your interests... social and wordly issues... etc...) it's a very admirable thing, but one of the things i feel most beautiful about you is how accepting you are, especially of yourself! EEEEEK sorry i've rambled a bit and i'm not really sure if it makes sense at all AHAHAH, but i want to let you know, THANK YOU and i'm super super eeek super happy that i've been able to meet you this last year!! AHAAHA i-it's a bit silly because we never seem to catch each other online x'D but <3333333 it's very fun to chat with you and i hope we can do it more often!! >U< <333333 good luck with all your work, and i wish you a lot of success and happiness and ummmm good fortune this year!! happy new year hiruuuuu<33333

Sorry for bothering you, but I really love your Chu Icons, and I was wondering if there was a base for it? I really like them, but I see you don't take point commissions or icon commissions.
