Doodle Break

One of the greatest talents I have cultivated in all my years as a student is drawing in class without getting caught. It goes without saying that I didn’t get away with it 100% of the time, of course. Drawing is just my way of coping with boredom and stopping myself from falling asleep. Everyone assumes that I zone out of the discussion when I do this, but when I get called on I still manage to answer (awyiss).

I’ve also made it a hobby to draw the people, places, and objects around me while waiting — whether I’m waiting for my food at a restaurant, waiting to get picked up at school, or waiting for a friend. I draw my classmates, other diners, my favorite characters, and my food. My most amusing hobby is probably drawing anyone in my immediate vicinity who looks like they could be retaining that particular position for the longest time. More often than not, they end up moving before I get the chance to finish drawing them, so if you hear me muttering under my breath while I’m bent over my sketchbook, you'll probably know what it’s about.

Happy Pills

Books are my happy pills.

Whenever I need an escape, or when life becomes a bit too much to handle, I just go to my room, shut the door, and walk to the place where Nirvana awaits—my bookshelf.

It’s ironic how I prefer the company of inanimate objects to human interaction. Then again, I’m in love with irony. So here I am combining the two loves of my life: irony and books.

Lettering by Jessica

Jovy is a girl who wants nothing more than to earn a living from photography and filmmaking. Also, she is weird when it comes to her books, as she is very discriminatory towards paperbacks and made an Instagram account with the sole purpose of posting pictures of her growing pile of books. If you ever try to damage her precious hardcovers--in any way--she WILL cut you.

Jessica likes doing calligraphy and lettering pieces, painting in watercolor, reading novels and fanfiction, and meowing and barking at street cats and dogs in an attempt to say hi in their language. She's currently waiting for fanfic updates and the new The 1975 album and Asian tour announcement.

Weekly Comic: Ice Cream Anxiety

Summer reminds me of eating ice cream, especially now that I have a lot of free time. But sometimes even my ice cream eating has random issues.
