Hello, I'm Erika! As the co-creator of Q&E & Run Sun, I make art for animation. This is where you'll find my own creations & what nots. Enjoy! | bitsbyErika.etsy.com | YouTube.com/QE | Instagram.com/bitsbyErika | 🤩💀✨
Things have been busy, as usual, but is it me or is time moving fast?! Well, for this month’s layout I added a little “April Showers” vibe to also complement my clear quartz Anxiety Buddies (available in my Etsy shop) 🤗🌧️💀✨🐰✨ Hope this month slows down so that I can enjoy it 😭😅😁
It’s been a rough couple of days but hello March! The clover theme seemed to work perfectly with the green hues for this month’s layout ☘️✨🍀🐰 Also, I had to show off my newest Anxiety Buddies gemstones (available in my Etsy shop 🤗) Have a great March everybody!
I finished February’s layout last night & have to reiterate how much I love this astrology planner 🤗 In the spirit of love, I went with a heart flower theme that was inspired by some images I saw on Pinterest. February has Valentine’s Day as well as me & Quan’s anniversary so hopefully it’ll be a lovely month 🥰💝💐💖 Happy February everybody!
For January, I leaned into the blue/gold color while keeping with the New Year’s fireworks vibe 🤗🎇🐰✨ I also included a couple of the other pages that didn’t fit in my last post ☺️ Side note: this planner really is pretty, I highly recommend getting it! (AuralignShop.com 🤩)
This year is off to a great start- I completely forgot to post this yesterday 🤦🏾♀️ I was so proud of myself too for having my planner ready by the end of December. ANYWAY! For Christmas I got one of the beautiful, magical Auralign planners which has a bit more pages than The Happy Planner mini that I’ve used for a few years now. Of course my dust bunnies are still here & I decided to go with gold Gelly Roll pen for the year set up pages to echo the gold accents 🤩🐰✨ I also had to show off January’s garnet Anxiety Buddies (available in my Etsy shop) ‘cause why not? Here’s to a great year! Hopefully I won’t continue to be forgetful 😅
I meant to post this the other day but of course, ‘tis the season 🫣😅😆 One Hundred and One Dalmatians is one of my favorite Disney movies so Quan & I decided to mix that in with a little Winter Solstice fun ☺️☃️🐶 Unfortunately we don’t get a winter wonderland experience in Atlanta but one can draw 😂
Who’s ready for season two of Blue Eye Samurai? 🙋🏾♀️💙🩸🗡️ Quan & I watched it starting on Thanksgiving & can’t wait for the next season (way to go Netflix!) 🤗
We’re not even a third of the way through & this month has already proven to be overwhelming 😅 Even with everything going on, Quan & I wanted to do at least one Disember prompt. Our characters in our animations play around with magic so that seemed like the perfect prompt to get in on 🤗 It’s no secret that I love Disney World (I celebrated a recent birthday there) so TA DA 🪄 me in my Mickey ears taking in the the joy that is Magic Kingdom (clearly Quan & I didn’t learn our lesson on castles during Inktober haha) 🤩✨🏰 Have a great weekend everybody!
Here we are again, December. Has the year really gone by? Well, given the beautiful, shiny cover page for this month I leaned into the holiday vibes with a Christmas tree theme 🤩🎄✨ I really wanted to focus on green & gold which I think worked out ☺️ Happy December everybody!
Hope everybody is having a very thankful day, me & my stomach definitely are 😅 Quan & I created an illustration for MerMay’s monthly challenge, the prompt being “feast” 😋 As the head chef & architect of vegan cuisine in our home, this image isn’t far off from reality 😆 I also got a picture of one of my citrine Anxiety Buddies (take a look at my Etsy shop to get yours 🤗✨💀)
Luckily I’m feeling much better & finished this month’s bullet journal layout 🤗 I leaned into the cover art & went with coffee for November’s theme (or lattes to be more specific) ☺️☕️✨ Also, you can see my citrine Anxiety Buddies that are available in my Etsy shop helping me out along with the dust bunnies 😆🐰✨ Happy November everybody! May this month be less exhausting than the last 😅
Sadly I’ve been sick for the last few days & I’m finally well enough to work on my bullet journal 😷 Hopefully I’ll have it finished by tomorrow. Anywho! I thought I’d share this compilation video that I made of our Inktober drawings 🤗🖋️🖤✨

[I tried to post this yesterday but for reasons unknown, it wouldn’t let me 🙄]
With our final Inktober for today’s “fire” prompt, Prince Zuko & Mai 🤗🔥🖋️🖤 Quan & I feel really accomplished that we made it through the challenge this year & that we’re even more proficient in Procreate. Happy Halloween everybody! 😈🎃💀👻✨👀
It was strangely calming inking the silhouette of the Red Queen’s head for today’s “massive” prompt 😍👑♥️ Quan & I decided to blend the classic Disney animation with Tim Burton’s version which I think worked out well ☺️
