I walked around wandering a small alley in Waterloo street, suddenly I have the urge to go into that alley. Turns out there are beautiful paintings painted on the wall. It is lovely and I enjoyed the view. Here's the pics. 

Hello all! Wishing you a happy new year 2019. Officially back to work (office).
Good things I achieved last year: 

1. Renewed my PMP certification
2. Achieved more goals on the list in the last 2 months of the year 
3. Have an online shop selling physical items (stickers and stationary)
4. Registered as developer in Google Play and uploaded 2 sets of digital stickers, find them here
5. Participated in online competition (peanut butter recipes) in theydrawandcook
6. Drawing comics every day. I realized I have developed more style and better stories and illustration, although I still have a lot to learn. 
7. Doing exercise every day (due to scared of health concern)
8. Spending more time with family (I travel more often to Jakarta last year)
9. Did spring cleaning (threw a lot of rubbish/things that I don't really need - until the neighbors were suspicious)
10. Let myself loose a bit - not much (but yeah, life is short)

Some setbacks:

1. Didn't achieve goal to read 24 books last year - only 8 books - instead I did a lot of drawing
2. Have anxieties about job and work - instead focusing myself doing work that I always want to do
3. Have anxieties about the future - comparing myself to other people :( - instead trying to improve myself
4. For once in my life - didn't manage to catch a flight in the morning - understanding that age made a difference
5. Didn't go for travel - instead went back to Jakarta more often

Despite the setbacks, I always know that things happened for a reason, and sometimes bad things are not "bad", instead it gives lessons for us to learn, to be better. I hope we all will be better this year. 

Due to one thing and another I have more time to do more comics. It's been fun and satisfying, I'm on my 11th day now, every now and then trying to figure out what kind of story I want to make. Mostly my own experiences in the past, or what I feel in the moment. Some days I don't have clear ideas, and creative block is like so common for me. Go to my Instagram to check it out, give some likes and follows! Thank you for your support!

I created a second sticker sets on Google Play. Currently naming it, kawaii girl sticker set. I know! It's like the most common name ever, you might not find it when searching :(. The best way is to search for my name, lina kartika, then the list of stickers I made will show up in the list. Or, you can go to my linktree and click on the first link available like below

Hello All, how's it going? Have been feeling a bit under the weather recently (for the past 2 weeks), I'm recovering now, although not 100% yet, because of this I don't feel like doing anything, not even drawing. (Ugh, procrastination) 

Updates:

1. Mr Pyggy debut in Google Play! I'm now submitting Mr Pyggy to LINE Sticker Creator. (Fingers crossed)
2. Christmas is coming! I can't believe Dec is just less than a month away?? I'm creating set of Christmas postcards to be uploaded in my shop.
3. Impulse buying??!!! Ordered Cricut Explorer Air 2 in Cherry Blossom - still on delivery, I felt guilty!
4. Have been checking on suppliers to create washi tapes. Not sure if I'm going to make one, because cost is a bit too exp, for me to be able to sell one in reasonable price. 
5. Thinking to revive my old society6 shop at the moment, so stay tuned.

It's good to write this blog again! 

Now, Mr Pyggy also available in digital stickers for WhatsApp! Go to google play, search for “mrpyggy”, install and click add to WhatsApp. It’s free! Don’t forget to give your ratings as well! Any feedbacks and suggestions are appreciated! Thank you for your support!

I've been helping my mum to make banner for an online shop - but turns out the platform need subscription fee if I want to put a banner, so it's useless for now. Well, I had fun when working on it. I'm using procreate to create this image. ​

In part of peanut butter lovers contest from theydrawandcook. Submitted 3 recipes for this contest, 2 based on recipe lists in peanutbutterlovers.com, 1 from adaptation of Tastemade. Will try to submit more. :). Go to my page to check other recipes I have.

Watching this recently.

This is the second time it happened to me.
