“Majestic Cloud” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
This is what the sky looked like this evening near our home. Towards the east was a majestic cloud lit up by the setting sun, while in the west, the clouds were backlit by that same sun. It was beautiful.

I still think clouds are the most amazing things in the universe. The sky can be truly awesome at times.
I hope you had a nice Wednesday!

Inspiration
“Daruma Girl” Austin, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Tonight I went with my friend Mikey to see The Night is Short, Walk On Girl at the theater and I was blown away! The movie is so fun and crazy, I found myself smiling ear-to-ear almost the whole time. The artwork was really bold and simple, and it was very inspiring. I have some new ideas on how I’d like my next drawing to look like. It’s funny how inspiration can come from some kinds of animation, but not from others. For instance, when I watch Ghibli movies, inspiration never comes to me, but with The Night is Short, Walk On Girl, so many ideas pop up in my mind.
I hope you had a nice day!

Texas Storms
“Storm Clouds” Cedar Park, 2018
Texas can have some crazy weather! Growing up in Southern California, we never had huge fluctuations in temperature or lots of rain, especially living near the coast. But here in Texas, it can sometimes get a little crazy, with intense thunderstorms, hail, and flash flooding. Today, we got a couple of short downpours at our house, but nothing extreme. Whew! It did look pretty cool though, as you can see from the photo I took on the way home.
This evening I started on a new sketch. It’s going to be something inspired by Lady Snowblood, and is kind of similar to a painting I did when I was in art school. But I’ll be doing this not in acrylics or oils but with pencil and then digitally. I’m not good at figure drawing so it will take some time, and by looking at reference photos. But I was inspired not only by the movie but also by some illustration books I was browsing through at the Kinokuniya the other day. Such neat art!
I hope you had a nice Monday!
