What We Do

We will be displaying multiple projects on this site, and we understand some of the categories might be confusing. So here's a brief explanation of the categories and Tags that we will be using. (This list is currently incomplete, as we have plenty of other projects that we would like to share as well. We'll keep you updated!)



Main Project (current):

RINGTONE BONANZA ("RingtoneBonanza")

After looking though all of Cuckoo Clock's Ringtone titles one day (because we get that bored),  we decided to start a new project in which we base art off of the Unusual titles of these ringtones. This is our current largest/daily project, running through the week, with Well-Inked updating on Mondays (art involving text and design), Cuckoo Clock on Tuesdays/Thursdays (Usually Digital art/painting/sketches), and Culturally Bewildered on Wednesday/Friday (usually digital art or traditional art, often in comic form). For the complete list of Ringtone Titles and previous works, visit here.


The Filing Cabinet ("FilingCabinet")

Our newest project on NAD-Life as of now, The Filing Cabinet marks the wonderful transition in which we added one new member to our team, welcoming Ambrosia Lake! Ambrosia Lake is currently studying art, and is currently building up a portfolio. Thus, The Filing Cabinet was born: a place to file pieces of arts that's in Ambrosia Lake's portfolio, as well as the process and progress of her artistic creativity. Also expect lots of animals and nature, as Ambrosia Lake is also majoring in Zoology very soon, and will be sharing her interests with us!


SATURDAY SNIPPETS ("SaturdaySnippets")

This is a video based project where we just share fun snippets of our lives through videos on our youtube page. While there is no set theme for this project, we try our best to make this project as bright and funny as we can, and bring a smile to your face!

SUNDAY SNAPSHOTS ("SundaySnapshots")

Since Purin Left NAD-Life, we are starting a new Beauty Based Project for Sundays, where we share with you not only Physical beauty, but just general beauty all around us in our lives such as nature, cities, foods, cultures, music, laughter, life, and friends. This will be one of our multi-media projects, as we will not be limiting this projects to video, but also photography, music, and more. We will also be moving our previously titled "Culturally Cuckoo Adventures" to this section, with the title of "ADVENTURES," where we share with you the random beauty of our lives as well.




Randomly Update Projects:

OPERATION MONSTROSITY ("Operation M")

"Operation: Monstrosity" is an experimental project by CuckooClock that has evolved over the course of five years. Originally just an idea from doodling in class, "Operation:Monstrosity" soon developed into a multi-character storyline about a mismatched group of chaos. The plan is to further develop "Operation: Monstrosity" and share its development throughout time.

PAINTING ROBOT PRINTER ERROR ("PrinterError")

Just fun little drawings from here to there that don't really fit anywhere, but good to share anyway.

SINGLE PALLET PROJECT ("SPProject")

"Single Palette Project" is a freelance comic series by CulturallyBewildered that stars her two oldest characters. Either in short panel comics or ongoing story lines, this series follows a group of characters navigating life, usually inspired by CulturallyBewildered's daily mishaps and nuances. The cast is all in training, but why not follow along and watch them grow!

CLOGGED TYPEWRITER ("CloggedTypewriter")

Sunny-Sunny Sunshine Mail ("SSSunshine"): 
CulturallyBewildered will be giving her ten cents on topics from maintaining a healthy dose of happiness to managing the lows in your life. Advice, heart-to-hearts, and especially things she finds that put a smile on her face, she'll ship over on the S.S.Sunshine.

Cuckoo Clock Effect ("CCEffect"):
Random updates (usually in forms of lists of funny youtube Videos), where Cuckoo Clock shares with you parts of her unfortunate Youtube Addiction....and more often than not interesting media clips from her unusual classes.

Culturally Cuckoo Adventures ("CCAdventures" ---Past project [we are now moving this project under Sunday Snapshots):
Just funny snippets of our lives that we decide are worth sharing, be it random stupidity, or just unusual happenings that makes us laugh.




Upcoming projects:

CONFUCIUS DID NOT SAY

As we are a group of Asian Americans, we deal with many aspects of Asian American culture that makes our lives much more...interesting. We will hopefully be sharing these interesting aspects of our lives with you soon, so be on the look out!




Past Projects:

NEVER ENDING INK-WELL ("Ink-Well")

"Never-Ending Inkwell" is an experimental project by Well-Inked in which Typography is key. Evolving from doodles in class and other inspirations, "Never-Ending InkWell" Creates new Imaginative ways to represent characters and fonts with fun little phrases. If you have any suggestions for a "Never-Ending Inkwell" project, feel free to comment or email suggestions!

UNANIMOUS BEAUTY ("UnanimousBeauty")

A beauty project started by Purin (formerly Princess). Here, Purin shares her beauty tricks and makeup tutorials.

FRUITY BLAST CHALLENGE ("FBChallenge")

Some time ago, we discovered a wonderful site that we are still quite obsessed with today: 


It's an awesome site, and we really encourage you to check it out. We liked it so much that we decided that it would be cool to try for a drawing inspired from the color pallets on Design Seed daily (that is, if we have time and can manage to do so) if not weekly. Thus, the birth of the Fruity Blast Challenge or FC for short. 

For the Fruity-Blast Challenge, the artist may only use the colors given on one pallet at design seed for one a drawing. The artist may choose to use white to balance, or different opacity mixed with other colors on the pallet to create different effects. The artist may not use black or other colors, and also must use every color on the chosen pallet to complete the challenge.

The Fruity-Blast Challenge will be separated into three categories:

The Strawberry-Blast Challenge: 
Challenges accepted by CulturallyBewildered, usually in areas of original characters, anime-style, graphics, or experimentation in Photoshop painting. To be completed Mondays, Wednesdays, and (bi-weekly) Fridays

The Kiwi-Blast Challenge:

Challenges accepted by CuckooClock, usually in areas of realistic, sketches, graphics, or experimentation in Photoshop painting. To be completed Tuesdays, Thursdays, and (bi-weekly) Saturdays.

The Pineapple-Blast Challenge:

Challenges accepted by Princess, usually make-up styles and/or compilations. To be completed (hopefully) weekly. 

*Due to Copyright issues, we cannot put the palette we used for the drawing in the drawing itself, but we will be linking to the original palette found on Design Seed with each completed Challenge.
