Here’s an artist you should definitely check out - Andrew Birk.
Website was created in collaboration of minds; mine and the artists’. Enjoy!

It’s been such a long long time since I was last on here. Almost unfamiliar territory. So much and so little has happened at the same time. I don’t even know where to begin here. I guess I can just start with my life - moved into a new apt with my boyfriend in the beginning of April. It’s so much better then the last place. I really like it here. Been really busy with apt stuff and living and working and living and working. I still work full time and it’s hard to keep that balance of job stuff, boyfriend stuff, nice weather stuff, along with creative stuff.

Anyways, I really shouldn’t make excuses for my lack of effort on my own work, aka the creative stuff, since in the end that is really all I want as my job stuff. It’s a bitch but only I can do it for myself. So here’s another sad story; my camera has been in it’s case since the last time I posted and it’s just collecting dust; though I have been using my cell phone camera here and there. But that doesn’t really count, right? I figured I just had to post something, anything, so that I can just start somewhere again.

I’ve been on vacation this past week and I’ve been working on a whole bunch of new things - I’ll give more details a little later on.

But first I need to clean house: I’ve gathered a bunch of product that I want to discontinue from my shop, so, to get things moving I’ve put them up for sale (31 items total) at 50% off their original selling price. Please take a look here and get first dibs on these soon to be non Jengs Shop items, it’s sad, but we must part.

Well, I really don’t know what has come over me, really shame on me. I have been absent from the whole blogging world for quite a while now and to tell you the truth, I really have no excuse - been too wrapped up in myself and all the bullshit (good & bad) life has to offer.

It’s never too late to start over and with that, here are a few shots I took here in New York’s Chinatown during the Lunar New Year Celebration. I’ve been to see the dragons almost every year my entire life. The only thing I miss are the real fire works - they don’t allow those anymore.

You can now get the graphics I created from my first line of notebooks in a set of 6 folded cards. They are now available in the shop and you have the choice of 3 colors each.

So far all winter it just felt like we were hibernating. This past week was so so so cold, in the teens, that you couldn’t really do what you wanted to do. Saturday flew by with nothing really accomplished, it really was a sluggish day. I’ve been feeling like that a lot lately. I need to get myself to snap out of it. On Sunday, we woke up to some fun fluffy snow and I actually stepped outside. It was fun.

Took these while food shopping at Fairway on 125th St. Can you feel the cold through the photos?

Valentine’s Day is coming up. Do you have something special up your sleeve for the one you love? I’d love to hear about it. I don’t have anything planned yet so any suggestions would be really cool.

A new Valentine card set can be found in the shop.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and new years. Haven’t been on here for quite a while, sorry.

Guess what? I got a really great present for Christmas this year. B spent a very long time searching for the perfect one and he found it. A vintage Schwinn in the color I wanted, blue. I was so so very happy to wake up to it Xmas morning. I can’t wait for the warm weather so I can ride it. It’s been freezing here in NY.

I hope everyone got what they wanted and more. It’s now time to get busy busy busy.
