Myra's Day

18th Friday July: A couple of friends and I went to Myra's house for a little surprise birthday party, and let me just say that it's one of the most beautiful houses I have ever been to,  like something I would see in Kinfolk combined with a Grounds of Alexandria equivalent backyard. 

Everything was just "so myra: a term used to describe everything that hints a japanese influence, whilst also possessing an organic, genuine and peaceful feel much like what is evoked from myra and her designs." My friends and I were absolutely awestruck at how every inch of her house was so photogenic, including latte the labra-doodle. 

It was such an amazing day, we started the day with cooking up some authentic Japanese pumpkin udon, delicious white chocolate green tea cheesecake topped with blueberry made by Ebony served with tea for dessert, and lastly out to her backyard to cook up some some post-dessert dessert smores on her outdoor fireplace, it was a given that I would be passionately trying to keep the fire alive by shouting "calcifer! don't die on me". 

Of course lastly, I also illustrated a card for her that was "so myra".

An absolutely unforgettable day it was.

Adding zing

     

When it comes to presents, I feel as though personalising and giving it your own zing adds to the present rather than just the present itself. A very simple gift wrapping idea using a paper bag, twine and scrap watercolour paper for the tag. This holiday has definitely been birthday season, and I have been at least drawing once-twice a week (you can see this on my instagram)

Jamaican do this

After a lot of convincing, I have decided to start blogging. What better way to start than with an illustration of myself. As stated above, my name is Jaymee Kim and Solbi is my korean name, I'm 19 years old and I am studying visual communication. Friends are able to identify me, even from a mile away all thanks to my mustard sweater. 

I illustrate the daily occurrences or thoughts that are left dwelling in my mind. 

I guess you could call it an outlet of the things left unsaid, I call them my "visual murmurs". (yeah, I'm quite deep like that *flicks hair*). 

You can expect illustrations, snapshots from a day, inspirations, fashion wants or wants in general and positive reminders to myself and to others. 

So as cliche as it sounds, here's to the start of something! Jamaican do this (Jaymee can)
