Title: Two guinea pigs

  In February of this year we have a family of two guinea pigs, Pinky and Squash. They come to our house, we realize how much joy and happiness they are giving us. At first, I felt heavy with the sense of duty and responsibility to clean, supply water and food, check their health, and do grooming. But compared to the joy they give us, we realize that these things are very trivial.  It is said that when we raise and care for an animal, endorphins are released in the human brain and we feel happy. In fact, when we look after or care for an animal that is a theoretical scientific phenomenon, we can realize that this is a fact and not a theory. And by caring for animals and plants, we learn how grateful we are for the nature around us, how we should cherish and care for it.

  ​Of course, I know this joy and reward, but caring for something requires a lot of energy and hard work. They also experience the unpredictable. For example, in my case, while we were out, two piggies fought fiercely and wounded each other. I have recovered a lot now, and I have to separate them for a while, but after going through these things, raising animals can be a burden, like taking a test.

  ​But they are indescribably cute and lovely. And over time, they try to trust, rely on, and connect with people. Guinea pigs are afraid of people and run away when they see people, but our piggies come out and wait for us when they see us.

  ​How it recognizes and reacts to its owner with that cute little head is mysterious.

Title: The rainbow fish

  ​I mainly draw objects that come to mind in my imagination. That's why my kids sometimes beg me to draw things that I can't see in real life. For example, rainbow fish.

  ​This task is difficult because invisible objects have to be drawn vividly as if they were alive. However, since it does not exist in the world, it also has the advantage of being able to draw at will. I did my best to draw a rainbow fish and show it.

​ And, as if catching an imaginary fish that is not real and put it on white paper, I set it to the bottom instead of in the water to deal with the contrast. Drawing imaginary creatures is really interesting. Because everything goes my way. So I like to draw imaginary objects.
