What’s your favorite animal at the zoo? I’m looking for ideas for my next sketch! 😊 #AnimalArt #Zoo #Sketch #Sketchbook

Observing and sketching animals is so much fun!

The giraffes at Tama Zoological Park are always picture-perfect. #TamaZoo #WorldGiraffeDay #Giraffe #AnimalArt #ZooSketch

Is anyone learning Japanese and willing to help me with my English? I’m a native Japanese speaker, so maybe we could do a language exchange and help each other learn!

✨Announcement✨ Giclée prints—two pieces now available! Both were exhibited in April, and each received “I love this one” from visitors. Please check the shop for details! Only one of each is available, so if you’re interested, don’t wait. #ArtRelease #GicleePrint #LandscapeArt

Painting shifts from a “window to look through” into a “door to step into.” Turning viewing into an experience. #WebAR Through the viewer’s actions, the exhibited artwork reveals its “creation process,” allowing it to be felt as part of the experience. #InteractiveArt #DigitalArt

The blue weasel grew wings so it could always fly up and talk to the giraffe 🪽 #Illustration #AnimalArt #Giraffe #FantasyArt #Procreate

New season, new intro. I’m a self-taught artist. My work is inspired by landscapes I’ve seen while hiking or wandering the city, giraffes I’ve observed at zoos, and my recent thoughts and feelings. I draw on an iPad with Procreate, aiming for a traditional, analog feel. #Art #Procreate #Giraffe

I’m drawing from photos, trying to bring out a sense of depth. #art #illustration #giraffe #animalart #landscapeart

Today, February 22 is Cat Day in Japan. It comes from the way cats say “nyan-nyan,” which sounds like the number two (“ni”) in Japanese. #猫の日 #CatDay 🐈‍⬛

Reading Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind feels like a re-import. Zen seems to say everything simply is. Sometimes I feel my motivation fading — and that makes me uneasy. If you read it outside Japan, I’m curious how it felt for you.

14k steps visiting museums and galleries today. Pretty good.

Didn't use the heater today for the first time in a while! It was a pretty warm day.
