Painting: New Friends

    My artworks have always been intensely inspired by both good and unpleasant memories. But in recent years, I’ve noticed a shift in the stories I choose to create. I now gravitate toward pieces that come from joy and genuine inspiration, like “Boat Ride,” instead of building my work around experiences that once felt ugly.   This is one of those original paintings (with a pleasant thought with it) that never made into a series and I kept it as I felt that I’ll never be a able to make one like this again, or I probably thought I’ll make a series out of it one day. This is just so original and complex to replicate.  

I remember in school, I used to draw real-life situations into the comics we submitted to our teacher. The characters were undeniably my classmates.

One time, someone took my cutter. They returned it later, after I was already frantically looking for it, because it was my dad’s. I didn’t say bad words. But the story still ended up in my comic strip.

After that, no one ever stole from me again. Not even as a joke.
