New KPop Demon Hunters Coloring Pages and Big Life Updates!

By YamPuff Sep 07, 2025 2 Comments
Hi everyone! It’s been a whirlwind few weeks, so I thought I’d share some life updates and also introduce something new and exciting I’ve just released - a KPOP Demon Hunters Coloring pack! Scroll down to check it out! As many of you know, I’ve been a full-time early years teacher for the past 15 years. These last five years, in particular, I was working at a high-intensity school that left me completely burned out. Trying to juggle teaching with running my art business—social media, creating, website upkeep, messages—was becoming impossible. Since I’m still a one-puff show behind the scenes,…

Artificial Imagination: an Exploration of AI-Generated Art

By YamPuff Sep 27, 2024 0 Comments
This blog post is one I have wrangled with for some time. I created the actual word doc months ago. The topic of artificial intelligence, or AI as it’s more commonly known, is everywhere and it is evolving day by day. Just writing this article felt like trying to hit a moving target. AI is divisive and controversial, and the only thing we can be sure of is that it’s not going away any time soon. So, what is AI exactly? I asked ChatGPT himself (herself? Itself?) and this was the reply: (more…)

5 reasons I am Glad Etsy Disabled my Shop (and why I Opened a Gumroad Account instead)

By YamPuff Dec 10, 2023 4 Comments
There’s a reason why content creators and influencers are often warned not to ‘put all their eggs in one basket’. We’re only ever one hacker away from our work being lost forever. Our accounts can be disabled by any faceless moderator employed by the multi-million-dollar apps we use to reach our audience and sell our wares. I’m sure you’ve heard of at least one influencer or creator whose account was lost at some point for whatever reason, and it may have even happened to you. (more…)

Gumroad and New Winter Wonderland Coloring Pack

By YamPuff Dec 02, 2023 0 Comments
It's that time again - the Holidays are here and Etsy has decided to permanently disable my shop for unclear reasons. Yes, the Etsy shop I have been running since early 2007 is gone, most likely forever, without even a proper reason from Etsy as to why, right at the most important time of the year for small business runners like me. However, I've always been interested in opening a Gumroad account, and this finally gave me the push to start one. I'm really enjoying it so far - keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming post on why I'm…

YamPuff’s Chibi Tarot – The Major Arcana – New Coloring Book!

By YamPuff Oct 10, 2022 0 Comments
Back in 2020, right before the COVID pandemic and lockdown became a thing, I published Flowery Dreams. I remember taking the photoshoot of that coloring book in the outdoor grassy area of my workplace, empty as everyone started working from home. That summer I published the Dreams Collection, a coloring book of all my 'dreams' themed coloring books gathered together in one anthology. After that, however, (more…)

DTIYS Challenges and New Coloring Page

By YamPuff Sep 04, 2021 3 Comments
I've had a great time this summer with some DTIYS challenges on Instagram. It's been a really fun way to kind of kick back and get creative without having to design a character, think of a pose, or come up with an outfit. As well, I've enjoyed trying to let the art style of the DTIYS challengers influence my chibi style. I've tried to be a little more fluid and less same-y with the chibis I've drawn. I think as artists it can be easy to get stuck into a kind of comfort zone or style that just works for…

Dreams Collection: A Coloring Book Retrospective

By YamPuff Oct 29, 2020 0 Comments
Five years ago, in 2015, when Kindle Direct Publishing was still called Createspace, I self-published my first coloring book: "YamPuff's Stuff". I had no idea what I was doing, but my coloring pages were popular online and I had received requests from fans to make a coloring book. So I drew 24 original coloring pages and compiled them together. And my first little blue book was born. I've written before about the process that goes into making my coloring books, but not really about the long journey I took to get here. It was one of the hardest things I'd…

Aerith and Tifa – Free Coloring Pages

I'm sure you've all been inundated with more 'stay safe' messages than you can take so I'm not going to get on your cases with even more. 2020 has been an absolute rollercoaster of a year, and here's hoping we can all get through this with our health and sanity in tact! As some of you know, I teach full-time, and since school has been cancelled for about 2 months at this point and will not be resuming till next academic year (if then) I have found myself, as so many others, working from home, social distancing and with hours…

A Decade of Chibis

By YamPuff Jan 07, 2020 6 Comments
Hey everyone! Happy New Years - and happy new decade! Yep, 2020 is finally here, we are in the future, it's official. I've been working furiously on Flowery Dreams, you know, the coloring book I've working on for the past 100 years? Yeah that one. I am now confident in a 2020 release, and am nearly done with all the pages. All that left is the cover design, book formatting, promo images, checking proof copies, making flipthrough videos, collapsing from sheer exhaustion and overwhelming artists' block. It's all gonna be great! *two thumbs up* (more…)
