Small Adventure

Things are finally happening in the new studio! AND right now lots of these cards are at discounted prices during the Faire Market for retailers which ends tomorrow! That is on top of the 15-25% off plus free shipping that is for the duration of this market only. I’m so grateful for all the retailers that have supported me all these years (since 2009!!) and kept my little business going. I’m still so honored every time I see one of my cards in a shop 🥰🥰🥰 If you’re a retail shop that is interested in ordering my Faire direct link is on my profile page. This is a great time to order as we’re trying to clear out shelf space for new products and experiments! Can’t wait to show you all more! #newstudio #fairewholesale #fairemarket #greetingcards #illustratedgreetingcards #paintedart

There are a lot of dark things going on in the world right now but this has been a pinprick of light for me. A piece of my art is in the new live action Lilo and Stitch movie!! It’s hanging in Lilo’s bedroom in the sisters’ very cute Hawaiian home. I would love to live in that house 💚💚💚 These are the best photos I could take in the dark theater 😆 I’m especially honored to have a piece in this movie because my family is from Hawaii going back a few generations and the sisters’ house has a lot of beautiful Hawaiian art hanging on their walls, including a Hawaiian print my mom had in our home growing up. A big thank you to the set decorators that picked my piece to be in the movie!! If you’d like a print of your own, it’s available in my webshop as an 8x10 and 11x14 inch size. #liloandstitch #liloandstitchthemovie #smalladventure #illustration #hawaiianart

For holiday gifts last year I made a few painted wooden tissue boxes as gifts and decided to make a few more for the Mt Washington Elementary school fundraiser this Saturday! I really love how they turned out! If you’re an LA local come by the school this Saturday 5/10 from 9am-12pm and shop these and many more products (need last minute Mother’s Day cards??) I’ll be selling alongside other makers to support the school!! If you’re not local, don’t worry! I’ll be making more soon! Plus, if you’re feeling like me, we all need lots of tissues right now. And who wants a butt naked ugly tissue box just sitting out all the time? If you’re gonna cry all day you might as well have a pretty lil container for those future snot rags amirite? #handpainted #tissuebox #tissueboxart #floralpainting #colorpalettes #illustratedproducts

LAST CALL FOR MOTHER’S DAY CARDS!! I have a selection of new card designs AND we can write your message inside and mail it to your recipient for you!! Just write your message in the “Note to Seller” section during checkout and make sure your shipping address is the correct one. Also, if you’d like to send your mom, grandma, step mom, amazing parent a card with a photo and personalized text, I’ve created some photo card designs this year for Postable! They’re a great company that has licensed my artwork for many years and I’ve just started designing customizable photo cards for them. Find the link to my Postable page in bio!

🌟🌟It’s a big day and a big change for Small Adventure!🌟🌟! @misstashina and I signed the lease on a beautiful storefront space in Eagle Rock!!! I am elated, terrified, relieved and overwhelmed. After being forced out of my studio space of 10 years and unsure of where I could afford to go next after these rough last few years for small businesses, Tashina and I decided to join forces and everything else felt totally serendipitous after that. A huge part of that serendipitousness was the real estate agent for the property, Jorgi Paul of @ladyofrecord . OMG she is amazing!! If you ever need an agent she is such a dream to work with!! I couldn’t imagine a more wonderful person to go through this whole process with 💖💖💖 We’re both very excited to get inside and make a welcoming space that Eagle Rock will love! More to come here!! Okinawan power unite!!! ⚡️💥☄️ But first…must finish packing and moving before the end of the month 🤪😩🫠

Thank you to everyone who has purchased a painting so we can donate money to @wckitchen and Altadena Chamber of Commerce’s Fire Relief!! It means so much that we can come together and give what we can to those who are making a huge difference on the front lines. There are many paintings left at low prices so grab one if you’re thinking about it! Prices are affordable for original art! I am going to try put up another batch of them later this week. I believe we’ll be shipping out the ones already purchased starting today. Thank you again!!! #eatonfire #eatonfirerelief #worldcentralkitchen #paintingssale #originalartsale #altadena #altadenafirerelief

I know many of you might have donation fatigue by now. It’s been a long and stressful couple of weeks! But we can’t give up on coming together and helping each other when entire communities have lost everything: homes, businesses, inventory, priceless heirlooms and photos. It’s too much to even fully comprehend sometimes. My lovely studio assistant and I have put together a small fundraiser of my paintings to do what we can to help. 100% of sales will be split between World Central Kitchen and the Altadena Chamber of Commerce who are directly taking requests from community members who need help and doing what they can to support those needs. We’ve kept the prices affordable for anyone who would like a little original painting of their own or to give as a gift. There are currently 36 paintings available. Please help spread the word!! We want to give as much money as we can! LINK IN BIO 🖼️👆🏼 If this is something that you all are into we’ll add another batch before the end of the month! Please consider buying a small painting to keep support going towards those who will need waves and waves of support in the coming months. #eatonfire #lafires #fundraiser #eatonfirerelief #eatonfirefundraising #eatonfiresupport #originalpaintingssale #paintingssale #artsale
