The "Bitecoin" arcade token.
So you mimght recall that way back in 2016 - while I was living in Paris (this made things even more challenging with shipping haha) - I made some novelty collectible coins that were Bitcoin themed, with a bite taken out of them . Well I was never truly happy with how the project turned out, especially because of my bad experience with the manufacturer (what else is new??) and I just never had the…
T-shirts with permanent size label stickers on them
My latest Wask product is actually my very first T-shirt design ever! Introducing the Vanity Size T-shirts . It took me a while to think of a simple yet quirky shirt design, and one day I started thinking about those long size stickers on shirts. My first idea was to actually make some super fancy long size stickers that you can wear on any of your shirts to look cool (think fancy fonts, raised…
I made a giant Think Twice Dice prop die.
This summer I wanted to get crafty! And of course everybody is totally aware that once every 10 years I have to make a giant prop and take fun photos with it ( in 2015 I made a giant pencil ) so I really wanted to make something but I wasn't sure what. But my friend Justin was all like "make the Wask dice !" which was actually such a good idea because I love how it looks sitting in my apartment…
Blog update on a snowy fall day.
Hi. It's been a while since I did an actual blog update! And above is a cozy little snapshot I took in September of my dear creative space (looking much more interesting now than it did in April 2022! ) and I'm very grateful to still have this familiar Toronto apartment that I've now called home for over 8 years (insane!). Anyway, I still can't believe Blogspot/Blogger is still around as a free…
Shopify Milestones Award
Early this year I got a Shopify Milestones award for reaching 10,000 sales on Wask (and Shopify is the e-commerce platform for it). Considering my little online shop started as an obsessive side hobby of mine, I’m proud of this achievement and figured I’d share it here. 🥰 Thank you to anybody who has ever bought one of my strange product creations, or shared my store to a friend, or commented on…
Upside down sarcastic smiley balloons.
Anyone else overuse the sarcastic smile emoji in their lifetime??? 🙃 Yeah same. That's why I made a balloon version of it! Check out the "I Hope You're Happy" balloons on Wask. (:
A straw that looks just like a pencil.
The latest Wask product is a pencil straw! Because I was surprised you can't already buy them. They're awesome. Check out the "School Sucks" straws on my shop!
Penchi - A new kind of pencil shop!
Introducing my second online shop - Penchi ! I've always had a love for wooden pencils (and stationery in general) and every now and then I'd be brainstorming new fun pencil ideas for my other brand, Wask. Well my brainstorming session lead me to a lot of weird ideas that got me looking into small-batch custom stamps on pencils. Once I learned that hot foil stamping machines are quite accessible…
Cilantro-shaped soap.
I have the "cilantro gene" so cilantro always smelled and tasted like soap to me. It turned out it's more common than I thought! I created a product based on my experiences - turning cilantro into actual soap. It's called "Cilan-troll" and you can buy some here . :)
