Local Artist Sticker Machine

Earlier this year in February I submitted some designs to the Local Artist Sticker Machine project and my designs got accepted! They are just now making their way into rotation. A couple weekends ago I convinced my roommates to drive to a new coffee shop we've never been too just to see my stickers in the wild! I adore this project for multiple reason! Its supports local art and pays artists for their work! Its such a simple and affordable way to support artist. You can follow their instagram to see where my stickers are and you can go HERE to see where all the machines are located at!

These drawings are from a zine I made last year! It turned out to be a super simple 4 page zine but one that I really love! If you'd like a copy you can always email me at remikeahi@gmail.com

Here are the drawings before I assembled them into zine form!

August Art Journal

Another months bites the dust! This summer is streaming on by is the blink of an eye. This month has been mighty stressful with the tasks of L I F E and working on this journal has been the best stress relief! Some of my color combos got away from me but I've been trying to be more adventurous in my color choices. I fall into color palettes and can't seem to break myself free of them. Working in my art journal always helps! It gives me a chance to be more free and make mistakes. I still have half of this journal to fill up for September, I've a feeling its going to be just as anxiety filled. How do you navigate anxiety?

Bottle Zines

Eek! I meant to write this post months AGO, but better lat then never! Last spring I made some tiny bottle zines. When we were cleaning out our old garage there was this box of tiny bottles that I scooped up and knew I wanted to use them for some kind of zine! I made a bunch of tiny folded up messages then snuck in some little charms that fit the "theme" of each message! I took these with me to Grid Zine. I didn't sell very many of them mostly because I don't think people understood what it was. BUT this really cute little girl bought one and she looked at it like it was magic and it totally made my day! 

I still have a couple of these left over if you'd like one, you can email me at remikeahi@gmail.com! I also can make little copies of these zine inserts if you're into ultra tiny feel good zines!

List of Thoughts + LINKS

List of Thoughts as of Late:
1- We're finally buying a home! (well almost!) Zoei and I got approved for a home loan so now all we need to do is find a home. It has been very stressful and we haven't had any luck so far. We're in the awkward stage of wanting something perfect but then also don't want to be unrealistic. Its causing a lot of anxiety but in the end it will be good!
2-I've been looking at tons of home decor stuff and society6 has murals that are amazing!
3-THIS post about artist Helen Wilde is blowing my mind! I'm so in love with 3D textiles!
4- Seems like everyone is already acting like its fall but we still have a whole month to go! Since when did everyone get to be in such a hurry?
5- There are so many good indie films coming out this year THIS one is on my list!
6-I'm a HUGE Friends at the Table Podcast nerd. I can't recommend it enough and I love THIS little graphic to get you started if you're looking for a new podcast to listen too!
7-I set a lot of mini goals for August to give myself a little bit more accountability. So far its mixed results but I feel the practice has been good for me and my sad-girl tendencies!
8- Ever get that feeling that you want to make something cool and start to build a community but you can't quite put your finger on the THING that it is you want to start? Ok, maybe that doesn't make much sense but I can't shake that feeling lately. I want to start something I'm just not sure what.
9- I'm waiting for my finances to settle down and when it finally does i'll for sure be signing up for THIS subscription. Zines monthly, yes please!
10-I've been super into anime lately cause I'm getting more dorky as I get older, so if you have any anime suggestions leave it in the comments!
