NOTE:
This video was filmed over two weeks ago, before the heightened concerns about the virus. I know that many people are going through some scary times right now, and I also know that Eric himself had to postpone parts of his tour because of the virus. In the video, you will see that both of us were in a happy mood while filming. I just want to make it very clear that it was filmed well before the current events. Hopefully, the video can just act as a fun distraction or a little bit of happiness for anyone who is anxious or distressed right now. Please stay safe, healthy and informed. Thank you Lil Doodles & Nam Nation!
Shoutout to Carla at @Bon Appétit for inspiring this video idea! I thought it would be fun to do her "Keep up with a Professional Chef" video, but make it art related instead. Obviously I'm also not a professional portrait artist. This is all in good fun!

I loved the questions Amanda asked, especially the one about Asian representation. As an Asian American, I found it helpful how Eric and Amanda shared their experience related to that identity and how that effects them in a creative industry.

Just be you and stay you! ♡ I've been following you for some time, and if something comes up that isn't something that interests me, then I don't watch it, but it's crazy that people are unfollowing/unsubscribing for this. I was quite surprised with the video because even though I don't like Kpop at all, and have no clue whom he is, it was really fun to watch ♡

Most of my biases are his friends and I admire that they're braving the world and going solo pursuing goals and dreams. They're brilliant, amazing artists and genuinely good people through and through.💗
