[@WanderingMuses]

[@Sophia-uc9qh]

Mustard, Mayo and ham sandwich! Amazing!

[@cherryboom_15]

I love djon mustard but if I could have garlic tahini sauce on my sandwhich everyday I would be soo happy

[@anouschkafabre]

Cod with potatoes and mustard sauce >>>

[@blinkfraid]

A gentle reminder to the artist fam: learn to draw with your whole arm to take off stress from drawing with just your wrist or just your elbow. It takes practice, but you will cut back on the amount of strain there. Some movements are better with your whole arm than just your wrist. ----- from a graphic designer

[@annmariebarreiroart]

Thank you! I am always putting too much stress on my wrist and this is a reminder I am never tired of getting because your girl needs it! ❤❤❤

[@sueetplace]

It feels silly by just imagining, imma go laugh while try now 😂❤

[@vivienne7415]

Love the Bob Ross tutorial video idea! Don't think it's stupid 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@tofugoob]

Hehe yay I’m glad!! It’s silly but in a good way :)

[@user-gj1ks4ke2x]

20:05 YUP IM TAKING THESE JOURNALING PROMPTS LOLOLOLOL These all really resonated with me! I never really thought to ask myself questions within this kind of vain, these are really introspective!

[@tofugoob]

Yayyyy I am glad you liked them!! ❤️

[@dan.dexlion]

dude the yoga blocks under the desk? game changer 👁️👄👁️

[@ittacreations]

I think I really needed this video today. I"m getting back into art again and healing the relationship I have with it. I've also been following the artist way too! After watching your video, it gives me some hope that I'm on the right track with what I want to do with my art

[@caseyloukenny]

Sappy comment alert: you’ve inspired me to get back into my side art business! Loveeee your content. Thanks for being you!

[@tofugoob]

Aw!! That makes me so happy to hear ❤️🥲 yay for getting back into it!

[@ashersonline]

i was journaling while watching this video! i wrote 3 positive affirmations, 3 things i’m grateful for, and 3 things i’m proud of! 😊

[@brookecampbell5364]

im so happy you going after your dreams!! Good luck ❤

[@ArtwithOlga]

Yup, international shipping can be quite intimidating and pricy too. I am glad you're sorting everything out! It's always scary to start something new but also exciting. Good luck!🥰 Btw, you have such nice teeth, I had to tell you that haha

[@tofugoob]

Haha thank you! Ugh and yes it’s def a challenge but gonna let myself figure it out slowly

[@derrickvfields]

Ahh, thank you for sharing this journey! Big inspo

[@olivechickken5059]

You are so inspiring!! Love following this journey 🫶

[@carriecobb8]

Really great prompts! Thanks for sharing 💗

[@lin90210]

In the UK we have Jaffa Cakes. Cake, some orange jelly, covered with chocolate on top. You would like it if you like the chocolate covered orange you just mentioned :)

[@user-gj1ks4ke2x]

Yeah as a fellow brit, I thought of Jaffa Cakes immediately too hehe

[@tofugoob]

Omg that reminds me of great British baking show! I’ve never tried one sounds so yummy

[@Piparoodle]

Oml I love Jaffa cakes, I need to get more now you remind me that they exist.

[@zanari1744]

Thank you for doing your channel/art full-time, you're super inspiring and I love your vibe

[@amara560]

You're inspiring me to also take a look at The Artist's Way! Love seeing you work on the prompts.

[@megansalyer9622]

Thanks for posting this. Thank you. I feel so stuck rn but you really inspire me. ❤️

[@jazzyj3059]

Girl this is what I’ve been striving for. Literally been working for over a decade and been trying to start a business since college 😂😅

[@annmariebarreiroart]

Congratulations on week one! I went full time with my art business in July! Sending all the love and support! You got this! ❤❤❤

[@talkingjournal4566]

Loved the prompts!!

[@unkxwaii]

love following your journey! excited for those future videos you mentioned! mustard is a no go condiment for me 😤😤

[@aimssodope]

Ahah the hospital issue 😂😭 me too ! Have not returned. But I love your genuine content ❤ I’m also trying to be a full time artist ! So it’s nice seeing others journey so I don’t feel so alone

[@mysticspiral7956]

I Re-use ziploc bags too! 😊

[@tawonga.d]

I feel so inspired to continue being an artist even at the age of 19, just seeing you open a shop made my dreams feel so real because it's working out for you. I personally think being an artist is the best I can't wait to imagine how much joy you are yet to experience on your journey. keep going and I love to see it❤🎉.

[@ChytreuseCaboose]

a friend recently gifted us a sample pack of mustard from their work (a mustard museum) and it has been so fun to try the different flavors!

[@HoneyxLime]

Felt really nice to watch this, this Sunday morning ❤

[@tofugoob]

Aw yay I’m glad :) ❤️

[@ChantelleArts]

Your videos are always so aesthetic ☺☺

[@user-oz8vh7ez2m]

love the duck sculpture - and yes, the prompts will be amazingly helpful for me - you are so inspiring to anyone who wants to follow their passion - and don't worry about your art being silly - so many artists esp in France have had a lot of fun with their art - it's only here that we seem to have art that has to always be serious - Drawing on the Right Side is the book that convinced me I had some talent for art - a great book - and finally, (whew) mustard is the best - thanks so much for this very great video !

[@melanieko3846]

I have a drawer full of washed and re-used ziploc bags 🫡

[@whatsername465]

Let’s go Tofu!! You’re inspiring me

[@tofugoob]

Ahhh thank you!! 🥲❤️

[@hannahshumway1344]

I freakin love this channel! This video was so inspiring 🥰

[@AmberSikorski-uw4gu]

First, I love your shirt! Second, I ironically just started the Artist’s Way book last week and found this video so fitting. Love your vibe 😊❤

[@stephaniecheco5724]

These are really really amazing prompts and they really help to distill all the nebulous feelings around ourselves and our art practice, I actually love that you shared this so so much 💕💕💕 your videos always make me feel like I can put in a little more time into making my art dreams a reality, super inspiring 🤗🫶 thank you for being yourself 💕💕

[@thecosycat]

I'm super proud of you after this week!

[@tofugoob]

Thank youuuu!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mehmetyhallac]

Have fun !

[@Honeydoyou]

I’ve been working on drawing on the right side of the brain since November and I’d love to see you progress through it. Also I’d recommend only learning how to tattoo through an apprenticeship because you’d be surprised how much information online is incorrect and can teach bad habits

[@lululofi000]

Honestly, I love your art, I love your vibe, I love your channel !

[@tofugoob]

Ahhh thank you! ❤️❤️

[@Curious-Cat]

Congrats on your first week, this is huge!!! Also, this second-hand art supply shop looks amazing! Dijon mustard for me (I'm French ^^)

[@melodypageart]

I do love that book.

[@HannahlovesStories]

Such an inspiration! I loved watching this!

[@tofugoob]

Tyyy!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@basedonplants]

[@jorees6020]

Lovely vid! I really enjoy hearing from you. It’s great company while I’m working. Today was working on my design for my architecture masters while watching the video 😊

[@tofugoob]

Omg that’s awesome!! I wanted to be an architect when I grew up. Happy to keep u company! ❤️

[@JuliannieTV]

I’m so here for the bod Ross painting video 😍😍😍

[@phos5990]

yooo the yoga bloc is genius. and we have always re washed yoghurt containers takeout containers and ziploc bags 😂

[@artbyciarrastebbins]

Oh I did loose my channel once from a bug in KZbin’s system. I was devastated. But luckily they fixed the issue and I got my channel back.

[@spammalammy4954]

You inspired me to grab my journal and make some prompts of my own! Your no.4 is SUCH a good question, never thought about it before but it makes so much sense ❤

[@tofugoob]

Yay glad u liked that part! I love my corny journaling prompts ❤️

[@ephemeral_arts]

Spent your video brainstorming and planning my creative endeavours for the week! I also sent an email to request a show at a gallery I love near me, it's been a goal of mine to have a show there for over 5 years so I'm so proud to finally have taken the first step

[@tofugoob]

Omg congrats on making moves towards your goals :) glad to have kept you company while getting creative plans going!!

[@caro12321]

hmm.. i like mustard, but like, not all the time & it definitely depends on the brand! also: i loved the journaling prompts!!

[@ashtomii]

this is where i want to be in two years. 🙏🙏🙏

[@albaescalon]

Woooooow I love this book the way of the artist, I am at week 2😍

[@alejandraguillenolivares1603]

first time on your channel I love what you say about I´m gonna make tomorrow a great day

[@aoifecahill9264]

PLEASE do that learning oil painting video idea i really want to learn too but i need some inspiration lol

[@kata.narancic]

I have a video idea for totally selfless reasons (?) but I'd looove to see a daily vlog like this where you break down your kind of daily schedule hour by hour now that you're full-time self employed. I have such a hard time deciding when to wake up, how much work is too much, and all that jazz

[@alexandrasieh1397]

Placed my order last night! Congrats on your first full week - you’ve got this! Oh, and mustard is like … best used in tiny amounts for me lol

[@tofugoob]

Omg agree about mustard 😅 and thank yousoooo much for ordering!! That’s so sweet 🥲❤️

[@IOSALive]

tofu goob, This video is fantastic! I liked it a lot!

[@tofugoob]

Aw thank youuu!! ❤️❤️

[@themultifacetedlady]

Thanks for that lovely video 🌷🐛 I personally am a fan of whole seed mustard 😚

[@MelissaMaldonado]

woah...where'd you get your pink shirt with the graphic design? thanks for sharing your art journey :) ALSO I do enjoy all the mustard

[@MayWonder]

Can’t wait for the drawing on the right side of the brain video!

[@tofugoob]

Ooooh yay! I’m glad to hear cuz I need motivation to start that project hehe

[@anouschkafabre]

Fiiiirst hehe 🫰 Wishing you aaaaaaall the best for this next era!

[@tofugoob]

Hehe thank you anouschkaaaaa! ❤️❤️

[@sueetplace]

my favorite is honey mustard, I feel like it's cheating ngl, I like regular mustard someeeee times. also I'm just doodling on my phone thinking about summer and positivity in motion! thanks for spending the evening with me 🫂 !!!

[@merviart]

Good luck!

[@tofugoob]

Thank u! ❤️

[@user-gj1ks4ke2x]

It would be so cool to have a little A5 print set of your crayon drawings around 17:10 + the flower vase one shortly before! I'd love them all clustered on a wall in my room, and because of how much white space there are in these drawings, they don't feel overwhelming... They're really free-flowing and carefree in the best way possible haha. They have a 2000s feel for some reason, super cute! Love your vids, and congrats on perusing art full time! Wishing u all the best xXx

[@tofugoob]

Aw thank you!! That’s could be so cute I never really do anything with my sketched but maybe I should

[@reneerasinger-tq1qd]

I love mustard. Grilled cheese sandwiches and hotdogs a just an excuse/vehicle for mustard

[@arlenelehman9118]

Ah love your videos so much! I also re-use ziploc bags hehe. Your duck sculpture is so cute

[@tofugoob]

Thank youuu!!! I'm glad you liked the journaling prompts :)

[@stacym88]

I also rewash my ziplock bags, I would go through tons if I didn't....just a waste really. I have trouble finding a place to dry them after washing.

[@mh8704]

Plain yellow mustard on a pretzel please! Love your art & videos!

[@elizabethwinters5361]

I see ducks every day where I live and you have their stamp of approval!

[@kimscooterjamieson]

Yes BOB ROSS!!!!! ❤. He was amazing. You definitely have the ROSS vibes for sure. 😜 👍🏼🥰

[@christyalexia]

Maxineeee on your monitor stand!!!!

[@IM_ThePurplesloth]

I was creating a background for my animation project while watching your video 😂

[@gingerkingfisher]

Comment for the Algorithm (tm) Good luck on your self employed journey my fellow artist 💪💪

[@anmus8031]

love this but i hate mustard ! love ya

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

I mean that DUCK. Stop it. He's the sweetest, hehehe🤭 I just found out about a second hand art supply shop near me and can't wait to check it out. And best of luck taking the leap and going for being a full time artist, YAY! It's scary, it's exciting, and you're gonna do great, I know it! P.S. I had to laugh because I'm revisiting the Artist's Way for the first time in several years and here you are mentioning it. I'm trying not to roll my eyes at this book, it gets so new age, but it's fine, it's FINE, I guess. Whatever, haha. I think I'm in a better headspace to do it, so that does help me take all the woo-woo-ness with a more chill grain of salt. Can't believe I actually like morning pages now, who am I??

[@tofugoob]

Hahaha I feel you about the artists way I sometimes roll my eyes at the things it has me doing but hey, it works! And thank you so much ❤️🥲

[@sophieisastar]

Just wanted to validate your reuse of plastic bags :D I do it too

[@colleenwelsch_]

Do you have tube buddy? You can a/b test your thumbnails to see which ones perform better :)

[@ikbenzo123]

what do you have your mustard with?

[@beingsila]

I am up to following your kinda path but it’s mixed hehe, want to draw and talk about tech a lot is going on

[@mariebunny]

That little clay duck brought me a lot of joy 😄

[@tofugoob]

Same 🥲❤️

[@annmariebarreiroart]

Sooooo not a fan of mustard. But my boyfriend is! So I suport you guys in being strange 😂jk, everyone has different tastes! I was crocheting while watching this video! Im crocheting heart earrings!

[@DrowningArrows]

I've been wanting to sell prints from home, but I'm kind of nervous for a few reasons.... one being my return address. Are you using a PO BOX? Is that something other artists do? Or am I just paranoid for being nervous about using my actual address?

[@roseelizabeth6230]

The only mustard I found that I like is horseradish honey mustard or “HoHo”

[@katarinai.9180]

❤

[@Leciae]

I only like honey mustard😵‍💫

[@catklu]

👏☺

[@eloise.r]

Omg someone else who is an Elliot Ulm fan?!?

[@TonyTylerDraws]

Wow I wouldn’t even know what I would do if I could do anything…

[@tofugoob]

Haha the endless possibilities are overwhelming but exciting!

[@artsygirlmarilyn6296]

Noodles are life right? 🍜🍜💋💋

[@pariseskew1706]

Being self-employed as an artist can be frightening at first with all the uncertainty that can come with it. Though when you lean on Jesus, everything will flow like water. God had a perfect plan for you and your art career. All he is asking is for your partnership. 😊

[@watermelonmint_]

Highly recommend the Yoga app from Down Dog!! Edit: just finished watching! Tysm for the prompts you shared! I’ve been experiencing quarter life crisis lately and have been looking for ways to get to know myself deeper and better especially now that im a way different person from who I was a year ago. Apart from this, I also heard (Apple Cheeks recommended this) that the card game Ice Breaker Deeper Talk Best Self (blue box) is a good source of journal prompts! And I hate mustard, period 😂

[@tofugoob]

Oooo I will have to look into those cards and the yoga app! thank you for the recs ❤️

[@leighanncreates]

Congrats on going full time 💕 I am also a huge mustard fan 🫡 just thought I’d mention that Pirate Ship has an amazing service called simple export rate for international orders that might be worth looking into and make it a little easier on you
