Life has changed so much! When I was in art school 1985-1992 I would draw every day. I did about 4-6 hours of formal drawing classes a week and loved it.

[@fishonastick_x1106]

Oh boi, I really like your sketches and ceramics in this video. I hope that as soon as I'm finished with school i can start practicing again to get to the level you are on💚 Also your words at 6:30?

[@Blick_Art]

Those hand-built ceramic bags are really something! When you're in a highly productive phase, moving from one work of art to the next, it's easy to forget every individual piece. It's kind of an odd feeling after you've set something aside when, just for a moment, you can look at your own art with fresh eyes. We can see why you were so happy with those nice oil pastels- they're satisfying in the way paint can be, with the immediacy of drawing!

I'm in love with your art style. It's so unique. I would do anything to go to an exhibition surrounded by your art- honestly. I can imagine how wonderful it would all look together in one space. Like the way you use colour and the way you set up the setting and environment in your pieces is so cozy and nostalgic. You really tell a story through your work and I'm sure that in an exhibition, where all these stories and nostalgia is put in one space- there will be magic

Where do you go to art school in England? And how did you apply? I’m hoping to find somewhere in England to study abroad!

[@arymil0]

here are some of my book rec : - keeper of the lost cities ( i looove this series soooo much but it's a tiny bit long tbh, please stick to the books until the end, there is always a mega enjoyable plot twist that always bloooow me mind seriously) - the mirror visitor ( it's hard to stick to the story in the beginning, but when you do you enjoy every bit of it + beautiful writting ) - scythe (it's more dystopian than fantastic this time, but i love it sm somehow) - i'll give you the sun ( I think the one that is easier to enjoy and the one that you should probably start with first. Don't wanna spoil but it talks about art so amazingly + it made me cry, i loved it overall ) let me know if you want any more recommandation, i would be more than happy to help you out

[@sunnykabocha]

omg i screen shotted that so fast, thank you!!!

[@moon.fa1ry]

I would really recommend “Lonely Castle in the mirror” by Mizuki Tsujimuar :) It’s a really easy read but still really beautiful. It’s a book about a girl in middle school who stopped going to school and one day finds a castle in her mirror. Another recommendation is “Last Night at the Telegraph Club” by Malinda Lo. It’s about Chinese immigrants in San Francisco in the 50s. The main character is a lesbian so the story explores both of the identities in a very insightful and quiet beauty way. Hope this helps :) PS. I really love your videos

[@sunnykabocha]

omg that sounds beautiful, thank you x

[@just_eirik]

You asked for book recommendations and I’m not sure I read the kind of books you are interested in. I almost only read fiction (science fiction and fantasy), but here are a couple recommendations just in case. Fantasy: Brandon Sanderson is writing a lot of different fantasy books that are set on different planets in the same universe. They aren’t directly connected, but as more and more books come out, we learn more and more about the shared universe. I’d recommend Mistborn. Science Fiction: The Expance! It’s so good imo! It’s like a 9 book series and it’s so well told and described. It’s just realistic enough to be believable, even with the very unbelievable things in it. I have read one non fiction book and it was very good, so I’ll recommend that too: So You Want to Talk About Race - by Ijeoma Oluo. It’s about being black in America. It’s a good and insightful book.

Okay, so first of all, Sunny, you are a major inspiration and just a lovely person that matches my vibe so well, and I love how you told us the reasons you draw: to highlight/empower Asian women. And I love that. I currently have found so many Asian artists or artists from other cultures who use their culture as inspiration. I just find it so difficult for me because I love all cultures, yet my culture seems so...subpar, I would say, compared to other people's. My culture also, a lot of times doesn't feel like me because they tend to hate LGBTQIA which makes me sad, and their history isn't very known. But despite that, I'm hoping to find an energy, a personality for my art. Also, I relate, so much, to how you said you're going to start using colors. Hahah I usually use less colors, but I really want to experiment with more colors. But I do have a pretty mediocre low-quality oil pastel set that I love using, and I love using highlighters, and sometimes markers. I feel like I've really grown with my art! You are also one of the artists on KZbin that has inspired me to start a KZbin channel where my art will be one of the focuses among other things. I am hoping to start it this year. Also, I'm so sorry to hear that you experienced period cramps. It sucks, especially when you're not expecting it and aren't used to the side effects. Also, as an avid book reader here are some book recommendations. Most of these I've read: The Cruel Prince, Anna and the French Kiss, Butter Honey Pig Bread, Hell Followed With Us, Children of Blood and Bone, Loveboat Taipei, Lessons in Chemistry, Our Wives Under the Sea, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, Speak No Evil, and The Merciful Crow. The ones I haven't read, but I think you'll enjoy them as much as I will are A Man Called Ove, All the Light We Cannot See, Concerning My Daughter, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Shop, Kaikeyi, She Who Became the Sun, The Binding, The Dictionary of Lost Words, The Ghosts We Keep, The Book Eaters, The Book Thief, The Prince of Magic and Lies, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Welcome to Dorley Hall, Young Mungo, and Babel. Make sure to read the genre, descriptions, and Trigger Warnings, especially, please. And if you need other book recommendations, follow some book KZbinrs/Tiktokers. Jack Edwards/Jack in the Books (same person, but two channels) and The Book Leo are two of the most popular ones. Have a wonderful rest of your week, and the next week. Also, sorry for the prolix (new word I just learned) comment. I ramble a lot🥰

I'd like to see the stuff you do in your new sketchbook, especially if it's loose and experimental, but it must be nice to have the "problem" of always drawing stuff that's "tight and refined" as in "finished looking and ready to print". I think your Fish 'N Chips bag might be a good idea for a reusable canvas bag, maybe an actual lunch bag design including the artwork. Of course, the "art" is in the fact that although it looks like a bag, it's not actually a bag, but yours looks so much like a bag, that it seems like it almost OUGHT to be a bag. It's interesting how you missed the piece, and then when you found it, you created more art on it. As a "western" dude, it's kind of tough for me to comment on your spectacularly beautiful bathhouse pic without saying something embarrassing or inappropriate, but...I think it's really cool, especially in that it symbolizes freedom and innocence from your inner child's perspective. It's also yet another example of how your pieces create a kind of harmony which looks effortless.

The unique experience if a big period poo us not discussed enough amongst women. It can come as a surprise but really, advance warning of this facet of periods would have been helpful as a younger woman.

Bathhouses, saunas, or any similar sort of public place where you remain undressed for a long time definitely have the whole taboo thing about them in "Western" society. When my extended family meets up they enjoy going to the sauna together, but since there is an age restriction in most places like that here, we (me and my cousins) did not experience that. Now that the age restriction no longer affects me, they have invited me to join, but I still feel uncomfortable.

Canned soup equals cramps. When I was young, I explored feeding my family different diets. When I gave up processed foods, my cramps disappeared. I think the preservatives don't work for women ( I can't speak for all women of course). Fresh foods benefited me, no preservatives, no cramps. I also ate grass Ed beef in later years when it became available (what was added to the cattle feed) and less beef overall. This is my experience. I still avoid preservatives as much as possible. Can't say this applies to you. I know what I found out or myself.

It's nice when people don't shy away from each other - and also don't have any reservations, as it is with everything here! i really enjoyed that in an onsen in japan, the free, peaceful water and the frighteningly hot water at first, which somehow later became more bearable! so the water accepted me: it came hot out of the ground! sure, if you're a stranger in a country then- well, yes- everything revolts against you! somehow! also the water! :-)
