Hello everyone, it's been a while.
A state of emergency has been declared, but how are you doing?
Can I brag to you all this time?
No, I don't like it. But I still brag about it.
During the last state of emergency, I was silently drawing pictures while working remotely. It wasn't because I wanted to escape reality, nor was it because I suddenly wanted to doodle.
Yes, create your own exciting Gabbeh with Layout.
He was silently drawing a picture of "Drawing Gabbeh."
Titled " Moroccan Breakfast "
You might think that's a pretty pretentious name.
I submitted it as if I had already drawn the picture with a name in mind, but in fact the name was a completely afterthought. I had to decide on a name after I had drawn it, so I came up with the name on the spot.
Perhaps the confinement caused by the state of emergency brought back fond memories: the Moroccan sunshine, delicious food, and the days spent in a lovely riad.
It was so hot that I got heatstroke after driving for over eight hours... I almost got food poisoning, and I got headbutted by a camel in the middle of the desert... I remembered some bitter memories.
Isn't it cute?
I'll say it again.
Isn't it cute?
It was a luxurious experience to have a craftsman carefully study my drawing and then weave it. At least one craftsman's mind must have been filled with my drawing for a few days.
This one is 60 x 40 cm in size, but if I have the chance, I would like to paint another 90 x 60 cm Gabbeh! It is so plump and satisfying that I am happy with the result.
I invited two friends to join in too, and they were very happy to doodle their own children's pictures. I conducted a survey to find out where they use the mats.
I put mine by my bedside, and my friend put her child's drawing in front of her chest.
This is "Toy Box Neighbors," a collaboration between a mother and her child.
This special photo warmed my heart and body during the New Year holidays.
It's still cold out, but I hope you all have lots of fun.
I hope we can meet again and laugh.
