RAISED $10,142!!! Thank you so much for your support! I finished my campaign with $10,142 and 1000 likes in 30 days!! Unfortunately, I didn't reach my goal but I can still work on survivors from the Bay Area and a few from out side. I'll find out more after all the tax and 40% of the donation to IHadCancer.com are taken out. I felt like I was riding a roller coaster during my campaign! I learned so much and my heart is full with happiness! I was on my computer everyday, marketing, creating graphics, flyers, ads, social net working and I tried everything I came up with. Even though I didn't reach the number, I'm still proud of myself I put 100% of my life into this. Also I wanted to tell everybody thank you for the support. I couldn't do this without anybody's help. I feel fortunate to have you guys in my life Now, my real job starts from here. I want to be proud of my work and I won't let anybody...

I hope you had a great July 4th weekend! I was at Bass Lake during the day with bunch of friends. I haven't been there since the last August. We cut the traffic with motorcycle and got to the place pretty quick! We hiked for 2 miles going through some tree tunnels and got to the water finally! We jumped in with our inflatable tubes and floats. (so cute to see big kids who ride Harley) The water was so warm but my underwater camera was not really good for the muggy water :( When we were hanging out floating, a butterfly landed on my leg, suddenly. It was rare to see it on me and I was told to search for the butterfly totem and I did when I got home. I was shocked to read what it was. The butterfly symbolizes a personal transformation, changes in your life. This is exactly what I want and going through to make it happen right now. I'm launching a fundraising campaign called Underwater Healer, About Face. About Face means to change the attitudes, views and turn things around 180 degrees. It's for the cancer survivors but also for myself. I'm looking to change something big! Butterfly sensed that energy on my scaled legs :) http://www.spiritanimal.info/butterfly-spirit-animal/ I had such a wonderful...

I'm SO happy to be a part of water theme show at Roll Up Gallery on Friday the 31st! I don't have any details yet from the organizer but I'll follow up once I find out. I'll be showing my first 3 collections of Yokai series (Japanese monsters) along Japanese folklore. Why Yokai in the water? Movement of the water, the lighting and the expression depict the creepy mood to me. I'll be printing on aluminums. Hope to see you there! One of my close friends who is a super Yokai freak would be editing the folklores. http://publicsf.com/gallery...
