Just finished gluing a last-minute DIY costume accessory for my kids. Thankfully already have this Spirit Halloween costume for myself 😜 #digitalartist #spirithalloweenmeme #spirithalloween

@ABritInChicago haha, an iconic piece perhaps? 😜

Just looked at some old lettering the other day. YIKES. I remember being proud and thinking how clever I was, too. 😆

[Belinda Kou @belindaskou]

So that is to say... Embrace the cringe. The cringier the better. It shows how much you've grown. Keep going and don't delete your old work, no matter how embarrassed you are. 😉❤️

[Belinda Kou @belindaskou]

But here's the thing. The cringe is actually good. It means I'm no longer at that level anymore. I've gotten better!
Surprisingly better. My risk-averse self never dared to dream big back then, but here I am today, doing this lettering thing full-time while still growing 🥰

Ringing in the new year with...covid 😬 Omicron is no joke, but thankful it's been mild for the fam. Get those vaccines and boosters!

Happy #NationalCoffeeDay ☺️

The caffeine high often leads to a creative high for me, so coffee tends to sneak into my art, too. 😝 Here’s three of them!
