Hey all! A ton has been happening but I've at least been updating you all with Pokemon doodles.

Some excellent news - one of my designs will be in the August For Her Loot Crate!! The theme is How to train your dragon, and its only $15 to get the themed monthly box! I definitely ordered one for myself, I'm a huge fan of the movie.
You can find the For Her Loot here: www.lootcrate.com/wear/accesso…

Other exciting news...there's going to be a mini Kuitsuku coming February 2018! My husband and I are super, super exciting. :D Also, being pregnant feels horrible all the time so far, guh. That's really the only reason I haven't updated with as many Pokemon, I come home from work and feel horribly uncomfortable.

Hmm let's see, other positive stuff...I'm now an assistant art director at my job but I still feel like senior artist sounds better haha.

That's all for now, hope the Deviantart community is doing well! Thanks for the watch as always!

This weekend I'm going to jump into some watercolors to donate to the charity show at GAAM in July. I thought it would be a great time to get my Instagram back up and active so I can post progress photos!

You can follow me at kuitsuku: instagram.com/kuitsuku/

What is your Instagram name if you have one?

I'm going strong on the Pokemon every weekday! I'm probably going to draw two on Friday so I don't end the week with Kakuna - too boring to start the weekend with. :)


Thanks again to TheraMutt for the month subscription!!

First of all, thank you so much TheraMutt for the month subscription!! That was such a surprise and I'm going to put it to use!! :heart:

Well it's a new year full with new opportunities! I'm currently looking for art contract opportunities for my business, Sutaro, and working on a few of my own projects.

Every weekday morning from 7:30am-8am I've been drawing a Pokemon as a warm up image to start the day. I'm going in order and hope to hit 151 this year...then decide what the heck to do after that. Be on the lookout for new art waaaay more frequently!
Occasionally I'll draw them on the weekends but I also like catching up on my sleep. ;) Definitely every weekday though.

In July I'll be attending GAAM for the second time and I'm donating a few watercolor Pokemon pieces to their charity auction. It's in Jacksonville this July if you're interested in attending! We're still setting up the details - I should be selling prints and other goodies there, but not having a table this year - I want to walk around and enjoy the show!

If there are any other shows related to Pokemon or any other game stuff going on in Florida and you'd like me to attend, please let me know! I may go to other shows in states if asked, we have been talking about travel opportunities lately. Vacation + business is awesome to me~

Life-wise, David and I are doing amazing - we just made a coffee table and end tables out of crates and they look SO good!! It's a great feeling to make your own furniture too haha. Well...if it turns out nice.
We're working on a children's book and will be on the lookout for publisher's soon. We have a top list of 5 but we'll see...the book is aimed towards 5 to 8 year olds and very heavily illustrated. More on that later in the summer ;)

Hey everyone! I created a Patreon to try and support more drawing time for all the Pokemon and crossover images. I would love to post more new art every week, or even daily!

Patreon will give you access to all my source files for each complete drawing, and all the sketches that accommodate them. I also have some options for private livestreams or skype sessions.
It only costs $1 a month and you can cancel any time. The more you support, the more goodies you receive from me!

View my patreon here if you're interested in seeing more complete art and sketches. And thank you!

Almost October!

7 min read


Oh man, I just realized I forgot to update about my wedding! I got married to a goofy awesome guy that I absolutely adore, and we had the most amazing wedding I could ever imagine. I felt like a princess!!

 



In other newsss...
I laughed when I read my last journal, specifically about last year being my busiest ever! This year is TWICE as busy every single week, and I'm loving it. :) Unfortunately it means I have less artwork I can post because all of it is contract work, and less time for my own artwork (commissions and fun drawings) but I'm hoping to reserve some time over Christmas break to get active on those again.
By the way, marriage life is AWESOME, not any different from before other than I have insurance now, hurrhurr...I can do more stupid stuff without worrying. 
We mostly play games and eat sushi and run a lot...ahhh so nice.

Halloween is my FAVORITE time of year, but I'm a bit bummed that I don't feel motivated to decorate for it this year. I have boxes and BOXES of decorations but they're behind all the Christmas decorations and I'm so tired of cleaning and putting things away again. I want to cook a million pumpkin flavored things though!!

Also, I love you all so much, and all the support I've received the past few years AND all the congrats from the wedding!! :heart:
