1 Peter 1:3 - Happy Easter!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead... - 1 Peter 1:3 

Happy Easter!

Tory - Full Story

Inspiration from: Aled Lewis' Toy Stories

When I first came across Aled Lewis' Toy Stories, my first thought was, "I remember those toys!" I love how he is cleverly playing again with the plastic animal toys we all loved as children. Here are a few favorites:

Aside from the nostalgic images and funny dialogues, I love the idea that we're never too old to revisit and make something out of our childhood pleasures. Check out more of Lewis' Toy Stories on his Flickr stream.

Tory: Story Summary

This month's story, Tory, is about a shy triceratops who discovers he has the potential to be tough and a little less shy.

"Tory was small and shy compared to the larger and more intimidating dinosaurs...in dangerous situations, he always hid behind someone, or followed another’s lead. "

 

Tory is taking over my desktop D:

Mathew 11:28-30

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. - Mathew 11:28-30

Rather than carrying our own burdens, being "yoked" or bound to God brings rest :)

Japan Earthquake Relief Fundraiser Art Exhibition

Little Seed's "Pray for Japan" illustration is being featured in Koreatown Galleria's newspaper advertisements, posters and banners for the Japan Earthquake Relief Fundraiser Art Exhibition:

The project was completely unexpected. They asked me a few days before the exhibition if they could use Little Seed's "Pray for Japan" art, of Amy's heart and everyone's love covering the symbol of Japan. Then in a few days, it was out there!

It's a real honor being able to contribute this way!

ZINES

Recently, I have been really into zines. I think my interest began when I started taking a class on children's illustration - but instead of formatting Little Seed stories into a children's book, I realized I was much more interested in playing with the idea of a zine. As of now, I have created zines for My Little Tree, Fly, and I Want to Send My Love:

Here's a peek at Fly:

Maybe the fact that my instructor, Mark Todd, is into zines (he even wrote a book about it!) swayed me into creating zines instead. Nevertheless, I plan to use these zines mainly for promotional purposes...and if anyone would like to trade zines, contact me :)

1 Peter 5:6-7

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  - 1 Peter 5:6-7
