Last winter we went to Tucson and Phoenix. We’ve decided we’re going to take this trip every year. I found this little journal at the The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures. I went there to hang out with a zine friend, a friend I had only met

I tabled at an event for the first time since having a baby. I can say that I don’t miss tabling and I enjoy not depending on sales for my business. However, I do enjoy meeting other artists and creators and trading. All these zines were traded with other
I’m launching this blog back up again with this sweet 3d card I just received in the mail from Zhenya! My friendship with Zhenya has transcended time and so many boundaries. We met in Russia over ten years ago. I moved back to the US. We saw each other

Another trip to our beloved Montreal. We’ve been living in Vermont for less than two years and we’ve been eight times. Each time, our heart swells a little more by how much we love Montreal. Casey and I call our last trip our best trip, because we did

It’s good to be back in Tucson. Tucson is sort of my second home, after all the other places I have lived before. We came during February and we couldn’t be happier to get away from the negative temperatures in Vermont. I ate my body weight in Mexican

If you hadn’t caught on to my life yet, I run a literary and art magazine called Canto Cutie that showcases the work of Cantonese diasporic artists and writers. I’ve been creating, printing, and distributing this magazine since 2020, when I was living in an apartment in San

In 2022, I took the magazine on an unofficial tour! First to Boston for the Boston Art Book Fair and then Brooklyn for Zine Fair NYC. In Boston, I stayed in New Bedford for three nights. New Bedford is a small town before the Cape about an hour outside of

I had a great day in the city with my in-laws. We played mini-golf, got fancy pastries, went to a photography museum, and ended the night with Korean BBQ.

Richmond is a cute town in Vermont that some friends have told me that I should move to. Too bad, because we love where we live already! I’ve been there a few times, and each time has been really magical. The first time I really got to hang out

South Hero is the southernmost Champlain island and only a thirty minute drive from my home. Summer weekends are where the Islands really shine, with their farmer’s markets and Vermonters going to their dachas. Except they don’t call them dachas, they call them “camp” and we’ve always

We’ve had over twelve guests come stay at our guest room this summer. It’s partly due to my urging of everyone come visit us, but also because Vermont is the perfect vacation destination in the summer. There’s no place like it. Californians can’t get enough of

Watertown is a city west of Boston that I had a great time selling zines at. I met a lot of great people here.
