Hi followers, viewers and critics, I am live at Autki Design art studio. I’m happy my Shopify business officially launch this afternoon Pacific Daylight Time. Shopify is a Canadian commerce platform helping brands, creative entrepreneurs and merchants sell online or point of sale and grow businesses. Traditional hand-drawn framed paintings and canvas prints are available at autkidesign.myshopify.com. Note – I did my best learning to build my brand identity and make improvements if necessary. It may be imperfect so please be respectful.
Imagekind, previously a company I partnered with that print and sell images created by artists, have been experiencing tech errors…I solve the problem signing with a alternative print-on-demand service specialize in high quality art and photo printing – FinerWorks. With AI (artificial intelligence) dominance over the current digital market one of its key advantage generate the design add style and personality on ie. artist gallery wall. If you are concerned and want to prevent AI stealing images I discover there is a internet code which can be applied on website html editor or blog.
Each frame painting include frame style selection. Price range from low to highest depending on material and size. Check shop for future print merchandise updates.
Thank you everyone so much, I appreciate the likes and kindness earning achievement.

Goodbye 2024! Seems like it went by quick…While I continue minding my business at Autki Design studio without looking to cause problems if I keep a optimist mindset this 2025 year I discard bad energy and luck away from my environment for myself. Autumn season above winter departed now the chilly, freezing temperature arrive on the westcoast. Working at my own pace I created a online autumn fashion mood board – Autki Design Collection (apparel, wall print, stationery, drinkware) outfit idea top and bottom at the art gallery that I will write about on the next merch blog post. Electronic mobile-friendly view for best quality.
If relatable, why not get dressed in cozy fabric apparel, drink a warm glass of tea/coffee, read or write a book, travel outside to escape daily routine, or decorate home if walking in the cold isn’t the plan? Since the world is filled with everyday malevolence and trauma, the question for my followers and guests is which one is your favourite Autki Design print? Feel free to share or comment at my email – lucy@autki.design.
May we take risks yet have a safe, healthy and blessed chapter of our lifetime.

I have drawn a series of sketchbook paintings that are posted and selling at autki design print on demand gallery. Life could be a bit much. If you’re a follower on my social media wondering what happened these past few months, I had to balance work full-time being an artist and taking care of myself. I will update designs whenever possible. Thank you for the continuing love and support.

New year, neutrality. Time goes by while it’s worth mentioning the vision in my work thus far I am pleased to inform the autki design rebrand meaning that I believe summarize authenticity and I find rarely of the initial autumn kiwifruit concept. The final point being Ki, pronounced “Qi” in Chinese is life energy within me ever since I was a child that I express to the world. I don’t hate and have nothing against anybody unless people want to keep personally vex my independence. I’m aware sometimes I am not able to control my problems while I have decisions to not let them influence me or I just change and alter for my mental health where I get my sense of dignity back and discovering my failure using metaphor terminology that negatively impact my creative process. I’m alright today. When I paint on sketchbook nowadays it is going to be accurate. My genuine paying buyers could begin the new year writing out new year resolutions and plans with stationery notebooks available at any rate you may or not have smartphone/internet device and then get rid of them after use or recycle. Material possession is the least of my worries. Thank you followers and everyone for the love and appreciation. Peace and serenity.

Across the previous months I made a few more paintings and threw my other designs in the trash when necessary. It did not help me and are no longer on my social media or listed. For inquiry, email me lucy@autki.design. Printable download is now available at https://autki.design/collection on Zazzle Inc. selected digital items if you are eco-conscious. And according to a DM I don’t have and sell toys nor do I offer massage/salon service. Because of the misinformation and cancel culture that attack me I had nearly quit painting. Given my mentality I’d rather not make the same mistake that *emotionally* damage someone. I’m a single artist. People criticize me enough that I have no interest in dating, cause harm and violation or intimacy with anyone. I decide my work hours putting in the effort while the postage department take care of package orders. Buying from my small business also lets me continue my artist lifestyle and the drive to be the best version of myself. On a positive note the fact is I execute creativity and earn sales from my hand drawn paintings I express my mind energy at, having never done surgery exam and/or perform entertainment without med school experience.

I have designed a sketchbook painting at the beginning of 2023 that will get posted to my Instagram @autki.design and shops. Sometimes I’ll work on optimizing the autki design business for myself and real buyers so thank you for all your purchases from https://autki.design/shop and autkidesign.imagekind.com. Discount codes are applied when you type SPRINGSALE23 at checkout with Zazzle. It helps my dream providing joyful best quality print designs. There were print on demand marketplace errors concerning a few images which could not be displayed anymore such as the made-up moustache guy illustration. My other social accounts was hacked (Spotify, MyAnimeList) and gladly there was no virus detected. I am notifying anyone that it can be someone you know or a false impersonation. By the way it is taken care of changing and never gave out my personal info. I’m not tech-savvy also it isn’t my default to go out of my way and harm or commit questionable behavior, so I apologize for my misinterpretation/offensive language that was never my intention in the first place. I know I’m not the only one having experienced verbal abuse as a child and disrespect being an adult now. Mindfulness teaches forgiveness to deal with negative emotions so I’m aware that I should forgive them when they are no longer rude to me the same they’d want for themselves. I create paintings these days while earning money feels good making something I love.
Original artwork is available if you are interested email me lucy@autki.design

Hi everyone, to my concern I believe I should make a quick note or if it was anything personal to you that when I shared my previous blog post about the designs I made it seems I should clarify – my emotional bullying along with the helpful constructive criticism during my creative process was most likely the reason for my comment that may have offended a few and perhaps a generation. The truth is for the “Driving Safely Road Trip” one it was the way I illustrated it rather than the car model respectively. My paint skill isn’t very pro how a digital kind enhances so I’m ashamed of my anxiety and lack of confidence on the finished result. I’m going on a bit of a tangent here which was like the time I fell off my bike after the Hey July trip where I had to stand up with some cuts and bruises and moving on, visited the Rocky Point park by a pacific railway train station. I appreciate the admiration and encouragement to always be good so I don’t piss aggravate people again and ie. design better autumn patterns. It could be challenging without letting what hurtful things people say which doesn’t serve my growth as a designer and/or challenge there are meanwhile I didn’t give up so I guess I still have the drive to keep focus on my ambition.
I finally maintained and done some changes at my online shops for 2023. Next book chapter. Happy holidays.

Deleted paragraph to improve. I address this painting (3 designs had file error show up) of me spiritually manifest driving a car and pray I don’t crash danger or hazard zone. It was nothing to do with anyone. It is just me, myself and I during a bad time in my life so I wasn’t in the right state of mind interpreting it.
Print available at Imagekind and Zazzle shop. I just created my new Instagram account today so you can follow me @autki.design.

It is ages ago since I shared anything new and I don’t know how to begin explaining my life then and today even though it was nothing drastic. I have finished working on my gallery here due to sales and marketing and adjusted the brand for my preference, because I got tired of its ambiguity so I hope it is final – along with it I’ll probably get mixed reactions in my emails, but I’ve said what I feel I should or needed to say that is usually to help myself and my colleagues. There were times when I come home physically settling down on my chair by the desk sketching and painting in my book I’d get this hostile energy like a haunting feeling as if I have to plug in the LED electrical lighting or use a wax scented candle so that is momentarily a solution. I learned giving it the benefit of the doubt this time, not caring about having the highest x amount of followers anymore, “staying in my lane” and all, which sometimes want to get to me again, but it may just be more about them than who they attempt their negative attention to in conclusion. Otherwise I’m glad I made my goal this far if I haven’t said it already. I’ve established actions and words as free speech for what we’re unable to control and realize it is fair to say I still have my rights to govern my boundaries only choosing what I accept and get better than others who abuse my respect…That’s weird. I just did a karaoke rap, but you get the point right?
Anyway, everyone else your kindness are truly gratifying. You guys are the best. I don’t usually receive positive feedback so this is lovely including a few average to high shop royalties I have earned in the last two or three years and commissions. Yeah, it is a long time for so little and it’s tough simply I did it anyway. Thank you so much for the love and support! Enough with my chit-chat I have work in progress getting done. I will provide my instagram tag here if you want to be friends and follow (sorry I don’t accept scam/troll accounts). 我們回聊.

Greater Vancouver Region College Institute Scenery 10×20″ – Daler-rowney paint on cotton canvas
Painting of a suburban landscape with the afternoon sunrise where reality is light and shadow. I went running as my workout routine on this cool temperature-wise day and stopped at this warm beautiful scenery that had a local bike trail…Even though it’s just an image for what it is in a lucid expression as possible, misinformation being spread while it’s false is free speech and all, but I’m reminding myself not to let that blind my faith – as I had in the past and I was wrong – that isn’t substantial to my growth/progress as a person. So with these polarities I’ve accepted what I can’t change and unrealistic expectations in order for balance and lessons learned (good/bad, life and death, etc) that we will get over it and shine on, never staring/exposed to the light often without eye protection. After I was at my own house not part of this town though. I’m alive and doing fine and keeping things updated here of any recent artwork. Let me know if there are questions and purchase inquiries by form or email lucy@autki.design. Have a great day/night!

When I created my small business online selling print on demand products (item is printed only when it’s paid – no stock inventory needed) I have minimized purchase of artist supplies and just work with non-toxic paint for my sketchbook and cotton canvas. I was thinking if I should paint digitally that seems to slightly be a more sustainable alternative, however, it does require electric energy used on a tech device and there’s always pros and cons of making traditional vs digital media, because of course all forms of resources have environmental impact on the planet. I’m no expert and neither am I criticizing for this matter so I’ll use what I have… Ink pen, paint brushes and watercolour paint for design prior to digital media if I could afford it by then to go on with this and at least add a little optimism to someone’s day.

Initially when it came to thinking of a brand name identity that was only available in media algorithm for my work, all I hoped to achieve is creating a mindful type of ambience with positivity and in a way harvest the knowledge into the next chapter in life, of personal development and harmony like the autumn season. 𝘒𝘪 syllable for the fruit kiwi, because I thought it was simple and it’s a autumn berry anyway. Still it probably isn’t a good idea and that’s fine I didn’t decide it with malicious intent whatsoever. Now it feels like the meaning by getting this far already resonates more on the autumn vibes and I guess that would be official. Email me at lucy@autki.design if you have any questions or just say hi.

Hi everyone, due to account situation with facebook lately I will provide shop and design info on this blog, which I should have done in the beginning so I apologize for the inconvenience and grammar mistakes. Striving for excellence has its imperfections…But if you’re wondering also right now I’m working on the next sketch that will be posted once it’s done and any help or constructive criticism is much appreciated.
