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 stopped dreaming much and would forget what I had dreamed about. Lately, though, I’ve b...

Over the past year, I’ve been feeling totally confused about my art. Despite the endless inspiration around me and countless subjects waiting to be paint, I began to question myself, “WHY AM I EVEN PAINTING?”
I fell into a deep spiral, surrounded by a million things I wanted to create, yet felt like nothing really mattered. Many artists go through this...

It took me about two hours to create this piece, which is quicker than my usual painting time.
I’d like to share some tips on this fast but high-quality painting method.
And I hope this is helpful to everyone!

ONIGIRI TIME!
Muibo keeps picking out my onigiri wallet, and that's what inspired these two paintings.
Before I start painting with watercolors, I usually sketch in Photoshop or Procreate first. Once I have a rough version, I move on to watercolor paper. Sometimes the draft and the final piece turn out pretty different, like with these, I actually love the draft version ...

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 has their own private playground, a place where we can enjoy being ourselves and expl...

I met KAI in Tokyo last summer, and we quickly became friends. We had a great time drawing together. But soon, I had to head back to Hong Kong, and KAI was soon off to Los Angeles for college. So, we decided to continue our art exchange across the ocean and completed this diary together.

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 speaks clearly, logically, and politely, people a...

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.

Hi everyone. This is my first time trying voice-over to explain my creation. Since I don’t usually talk much, this is a good opportunity for me to practice talking.
I plan to create more explanation videos in the future, and I hope to improve over time.
Thank you all for your continued support!

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.

Here’s my sketchbook from 2024 May to August.
I'm going through some big changes in my mindset. Looking back at it, it feels like I can see my transformations from an outsider's perspective. In a way, a sketchbook is like an artist's diary and a great way to sort out thoughts.
You might have noticed that it was blank in June and July; that’s because I was in Japan...

A flat paper surface allows the brush to move more smoothly and helps reduce uneven water pooling.
