on top of that, i feel all the more thankful for all the people who have cheered me on and gave me support on each step of this path! i truly believe i would not be here otherwise ^^

i can't help but feel hopeful and excited, for what's in store in the future 🥰✨

sometimes taking unconventional routes in life can be quite scary and worrisome, but as i was sitting at my booth, i realized i was quite proud of myself, for sticking through the difficulties and getting to where i am today!

seeing these things in person makes me so excited to keep going, making things that share goodness and joy to others ^^

it was sooo nice seeing lots of ppl with similar interests, and it is very motivating to hear all the nice things ppl said about my art 🥰

I hope that as we keep walking along these paths, we get to make the world around us a little sweeter, a little kinder, bit by bit, day by day.

I did my best with working towards that today, and tomorrow, I plan on doing the same!

For now, some rest 🤍🩵😴

I'm still growing lots as an artist, and I find myself feeling so thankful to have nice friends and nice artists around me to grow alongside with.

The nights may be dark, but we can be the bright stars that lead each other through to the dawn. Through my illustrations, I want to convey a sense of healing, a sense of comfort, a sense of light.

"Connecting the stars of our constellations, illustrating softness and light."

In times of struggle, of feeling lost, of feeling like we need to figure things out for the first time, to me what matters at the end of the day is that we're here for each other, through it all.

I would say that it's my vision. This could be described in a lot of ways, and I hope that as I share more about myself, the general sentiment of it reaches across to you. I guess the easiest way to describe it is to explain my personal blurb:

With struggles like these, what keeps artists going? It's something I'm still curious about and learning each day, being lucky to spend my time with other artists! For now though, I can speak for myself. What keeps me going?

an enduring reason for continuing even when things become difficult.

And art can be quite difficult at times. Sometimes it can feel like the art we make is no good, and that it's difficult to see a way forward with the piece, and maybe it feels like a reflection of ourselves too

so, i thought it would be neat to start sharing some more about my perspectives related to art. For tonight, i wanna start introducing my vision for art!

What does it mean to have a vision? To me, it means having a north star -

aaaaa tysm larke!! ^^

Aaa tysm! 🙏 🤍

Awwhhh hehe your words always make my day brighter ^^
