Thank you all for the kind comments in my last post. I'm sad to hear that many of you experienced the same pain from your own family as well. It's hard, but I hope we'll all be able to heal as much as we can, and still find beauty in this world.

Here's one of my old paintings that always made me happy. I recently returned from visiting the in-laws in Europe and the architecture there has been such an inspiration for new art. I'm excited to share those soon! <3

Miyazaki’s visual storytelling thrives on a sense of flatness that doesn’t diminish but rather enriches his worlds. By compressing the layers of his compositions—merging the foreground’s details, middle ground’s action, and background’s context—he crafts images that feel like living illustrations. Take the Warawara swarming with dishes in "The Boy and the Heron" or the jubilant feast scene in "Spirited Away" : both are packed with vibrant details, yet the visual plane feels collapsed, like a tableau unfolding all at once. This "flatness" isn't a flaw but a deliberate technique, pulling us into the frame as if we’re unrolling a scroll of visual wonder. It’s not depth that Miyazaki aims for—it’s a sheer density of storytelling in every frame, a reminder that 2D animation’s strength lies in its ability to immerse without imitating.

I'm finally back from visiting the in-laws in Sweden! There were so many whimsical and unique buildings in Stockholm, I must have taken hundreds of photos. One in particular is of this historic little house at Terrassen 16. The building used to be much longer but now only 1/5 of it remains, like a leftover slice of bread. The tiny house served as the inspiration and reference for this painting. I can totally see Kiki and Jiji living here with their cat family ❤️

I also briefly visited Italy and Switzerland, which have their own unique and beautiful architecture. I can't wait to painting them all~
