Rad Berry- Sad Berry Zine

I made a new zine last month! This summer it seems like a lot of really sad world events keep happening. I never know if this how life has always been and I'm just now aware of it? BUT to combat my summer bummers I wanted to make something cute! So I made this accordion zine called Rad Berry- Sad Berry. I'm not sure this zine makes all that much sense but the process made me feel so much better about the world. The power of art am I right? After making this zine I set a challenge for myself to make a whole new zine the month of August. So far i'm not sure if I'm going to make it, but I still have a little bit of time! Long story short- if you're feeling a bit weird create something! It just might help!

If you're interested in a copy I'd be happy to mail you some cute mail! Email me at remikeahi@gmail.com!

Song and Doodle #78

This edition on song and doodle comes at you in the form of Peach Fuzz by Caamp. I've only recently gotten into this raspy singer song writer. I'm still not sure why Caamp has two A's? I could probably google it. ANYWAYS, this bouncy tune has quickly made its mark my summer anthem. Its undeniably cute and catchy. It so hard to not dance a lil' bit to this song! It taps into the familiar feeling of wanting more of a good thing. It also has a killer little guitar solo in the middle that is just so danceable! Which is saying a lot cause i'm not a one for dancing, but its just so darn good! Gah I can barely handle its sweetness!

"No need to complicate it  
I had fallen in love 
With you, so underrated 
Something fillin’ up my lungs"

July Art Journal

Phew summer is whipping on by! Last month I used this teeny journal from a Flow Paper Lovers book. The pages were pretty thin so I ended up gluing them together with a bit of modgepodge so I could use more wet mediums. I'm still trying to be more focused on illustrations. Overall I enjoy how this turned out. I think next months will be larger, but probably still as messy!

Out Going Mail!

I've been creating a lot lately and staying on top of my snail mail pile! I made a few little tags to slip into some envelopes. I got the tags from some Flow Paper Lovers books, stickers from Pipsticks and of course little scraps of paper! My "collage" stash is slowly getting outta control! I collect too many bits of paper, but sometimes you just see a junk mail envelope or receipt that you just have to save! Luckily I'm putting it to good use!

I took a ballpoint pen to some blank envelopes to practice my bubble lettering skills! They definitely look better in the photo then in real life! Overall I'll call it a success and i'll probably try again soon!
