Art

Art is how I fuel my creativity and energy.

The Lantern Festival is coming up! It’s the 15th The Lantern Festival is coming up! It’s the 15th day in the lunar new year. On this day, my family usually eats rice balls that have various fillings — my favorite is black sesame. When I was young, we went to the top of the ancient wall around the city center in Xi’An, where people could take a walk, enjoy beautiful lanterns, and play word puzzles. I haven’t had a chance to go back and celebrate it with my family since I came overseas, but I hope to do that in upcoming years.

2022 is a year worth celebrating. We welcomed our 2022 is a year worth celebrating. We welcomed our baby girl into the family. We also adopted Bella, a girl German Shepherd dog. We planted some tomatoes, lettuce, and other vegetables in the garden and had a good harvest during summer. Our chickens and ducks are thriving. 

Happy Holidays to you all!

I'm feeling like I can start making my own stuff based on what I've learned from various tutorials. Special thanks to @kevandram ‘s cake tutorial for the coloring!

When I was young, we went to the top of the ancient wall around the city center in Xi’An, where people could take a walk, enjoy beautiful lanterns, and play word puzzles. My sister and my mom were stellar at those puzzles. I was pretty bad at them lol. 

To celebrate, made this bonsai with lanterns in Blender and Grease Pencil. It’s inspired by @sophiejantak baby bonsai tutorial.

My family in China is preparing a feast for the Year of the Tiger, which is coming in a few hours. I haven’t got a chance to go back around this time and celebrate with them for years. I couldn’t help but create this short animation to highlight this special time, and send my best wishes to all of you who celebrate this holiday.
