Start my 2025 with a fever dream

At the start of 2025, I caught a cold and ended up with a fever, which led to some really weird fever dreams. Honestly, I loved those dreams. I've always been fascinated by dreams. I feel like if you pay close attention to them and feel them, it doubles the experiences in life.In the past, I would often draw my dreams, sometimes as illustrations and other times as comics. But for a while, I st...

“Little Thunder’s Private Playground” saved me, and I hope this book can do the same for you if you’re feeling lost.Over the past year, I’ve been feeling totally confused about my art.

MUIBO & ONIGIRI (+Draft)

Welcome to Little Thunder's Private Playground

Last year, I really struggled with my creativity and often felt lost.One day, I bought a bunch of blank sketchbooks and just started doodling without any specific goal. I drew whenever I felt inspired and put them away when I didn’t. The blank paper became my own private playground. I loved being able to create however I liked. This process helped me rediscover myself again.I believe everyone ha...

[LT TALKS] You Might Be Drawing WRONG!

Welcome to the second episode of LT TALKS.Today, I’d like to share my thoughts on whether there are right or wrong ways to draw. My answer is: Yes! And no! First, let’s think about what we want to achieve when we communicate. We hope others to get our message and react to it. Drawing is just another way for artists to express themselves. Some expressions are more convincing. If someone s...

GAIPEI, MUIBO, FEIJAI (fly boy)

The dove shows up every day at the same time and always stops right in front of MUIBO. Sometimes it takes a break to rest, or just takes a nap here. Sometimes, it brings some friends along, and I call them 'FEIJAI' (which means 'flying boy').I feel like they’re talking to each other in a language I don’t understand.

'Summer's Gone'

Tool: iPad Pro 4th generation / Procreate********It's been a while since I did any digital drawing! I rarely go out to play, but I did go to the beach once during summer. It feels really nice to walk barefoot in nature. Summer time is over, I hope the weather cools down so I can visit the beach again; it should be a different experience than in the summer.
