Heeeey, you will surely think what the hell is going on?! I have a very good answer for that😂👌🏼 It turns out that first this was going to be me in the style of Gorillaz, but then a lot happened and it’s not that anymore. In fact all this was an experiment 😂👌🏼 Well I hope you liked it 😂 shaooooo . Heeeey, de seguro pensaran ¿Qué rayos esta pasando? yo les tengo una muy buena excusa😂👌🏼 Resulta que primero esto iba a ser yo en el estilo de Gorillaz, pero después pasaron muchas cosas y pues ya no es eso. De hecho todo esto fue un experimento 😂👌🏼 Bueno pues espero y si les haya gustado 😂 shaooooo . #dibujoamano #dibujoencuarentena2020 #dibujodigital #drawsomething #drawart #draw🎨 #drawing✏ #drawer #drawinyourstyle #drawingbyme #gorillaz #gorillazdrawing #procreate #procreatedrawing #procreateillustration #procreateartist #procreateartwork #procreatevideo #procreate5x #procreate5xupdate #animación #animacion #animations #animation2d #glitch #glitchart #glitchaesthetic #glitchartist #glitches #doodleart (en Glitch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfhr8QpNim/?igshid=bk6bkyzknc6j

What is the weirdest creature or myth you’ve heard of? The kappa is pretty high on my list of most bizarre. They love long walks on the shore, cucumbers, sumo, and raw offal right from the source… to put it nicely. 😂 . #kappa #japanesekappa #mythicmail #japaneseyokai #yokai #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCrVK8J2CK/?utm_medium=tumblr

🍵 Kumamoto Teahouse 🍡 This teahouse is a fictional place of course, but this is one of my favorite faux polaroids of Japan in my upcoming illustrated novel. When I was a teenager, we had exchange students that stayed with us from time to time. One girl was Kumamoto, Japan. She taught me how to write in traditional calligraphy. I was not very good. But my fondest memory of her is of the postcards of the Kumamoto area that she brought as a gift. Memories of her have made it into my book. . #traveljapan #indiebooks #indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #kumamoto #kumamotocity #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Kumamoto熊本) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuFa-YMOU4/?utm_medium=tumblr

WORK IN PROGRESS// Last spot illustration in my new book, Mythic Mail Japan!!! 🎉 Like my great grandmother, also an artist, I have a great fascination with Ukiyo-e style art. I really admire traditional Japanese paintings. It appears simplistic, but in actuality, this style is very difficult to replicate—especially since my personal style is semi realistic. But I love it all the same and I’m excited to feature a few Ukiyo-e inspired illustrations in my book. . #mythicmail #ukiyoe #ukiyoeart #japanesestyle #daruma #darumadoll #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artworkpromotion #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWf9IHMLVY/?utm_medium=tumblr

please let me grow old, I want 50 more shibas in my future

The prompts for this week were old fashioned things and I went with a day at the museum for some cuties. I really wish New Horizons gave us more to play with but they gave us a lot to begin with soooooo I can only hope the next title will be just as fun cause I still play NH

drew this for a mother's day gift

I didn't want to flood my feed again, especially with such embarrassing moments.

1. Me as a child. I was my grandma's (dad's side) favorite and she would dress me in a little red riding hood cloak and walk me around the backyard. I don't have any photos because I couldn't bring them with me, but sometimes I think back on those days. I was named after my grandmother and I ended up becoming the black sheep of the family, cutting contact with everyone.

2. Childhood home. I loved that house but had so many bitter sweet memories. I wish I didn't have to look it up for this picture because the new owners made it... pretty terrible.

3. First pet, Lady was already in home by the time I was born but Dusty was the first one I raised. They were both wonderful dogs and probably the reason why I have dogs today.

4. Good lord, teen fashion... At 14, I decided I liked wearing a daily uniform and I wore a black duster and jeans pretty much every damn day. Still practice the personal uniform trend to this day though lol

5. My first job was at Petco. I enjoyed the work but the boss would easily lose her temper with others and yell at me??? Like lady pls.

6. First big trip. I remember a bit of going to Nova Scotia, and of Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. It was the first time I could spend my own money and spent it all on Pokémon cards (it was like $15). My mom said I was wasting my college fund money on useless shit. Spoiler, there was no college fund, and her hating all my life choices continues to this day... BUT I still have ALL those Pokemon cards. Brought them all the way halfway across the world with me =3

7. A proud moment. I think me leaving behind literally everything expect 2 suitcases worth of my shit and moving to the Netherlands was the biggest. People often ask me if it was a tough choice. I wish I could respond, "If my family had loved me, it would have been harder." No regrets.

I've been struggling for a clear vision lately but whatever it's fine

I’ve got such a complicated relationship with art, mostly because it was a way to express myself and my parents didn’t want that. I was a child of immigrants that wanted me to blend in, keep my head down, listen to others and do what I was told. 

When I would draw, they would discourage it, when I wrote they said it was a waste of time. I had no outlet that was appropriate for them and so I created less and less the older I got. My role was that of something they could brag about (when I became a doctor, which obvs didn’t happen) and to compete with their siblings. When I didn’t meet those expectations I was “nothing but a disappointment” and “a regret”.

The only time I was useful was when they realized they could use my talents for their own gains. People only call you selfish if you don’t give them what they want. They don’t care about what you want.

It wasn’t until I was able to run away halfway across the world that I could truly be an artist without their words to hold me back. I finally began drawing again in 2016 and went digital in 2019. 

I could have become an abusive narcissist like my mom or an alcoholic like my dad but instead I’m giving myself to art. My skill isn’t close to where I wish it could be and my voice is small, but it’s my voice. Something AI will never be able to replicate in a thousand years. 

I believe this trend started with patouret on Instagram but seeing so many artists on my feed do it, I wanted to join in as well.
