    Thank you for sharing your inspiring vlogs! My mom was an artist who started drawing in her 50s and ended up teaching around 200 people. She left more than two dozens of sketchbooks before she recently passed, and I literally teared up as I went flipping though pages toward the very last one. Watching your sketchbook episode reminds me of how happy my mom was to have met what she could devote herself into after having worked 24/7 to fend for family.

      I'm so sorry for your loss, your mom sounds like one amazing lady. I can't imagine what it must have felt like to go through her sketchbooks knowing how much joy they brought her - I'm glad she could practice the thing she loved ❤️

    Thank you for speaking up regarding what's happening in Gaza

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci

      You're too generous, but thank you! I'm glad that Gaza has been getting more focus from the rest of the world and receiving more solidarity - it's sorely needed ❤️‍🩹

    So many sights, pets and beautiful sketchbook pages in one vlog! And I loved getting to see the behind the scenes and listen to your thoughts on your tabling experience since I missed it!! Such a treat to be transported~

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci

      Haha yeah, I didn't realize just how many pets guest star in this one until I edited it! I'm glad you were able to attend digitally!! 😌😌

    I, for one, would love an art book tour! Although, books are kind of my weakness so it could end up costing me plenty💸 Congrats on finishing that sketchbook, some just take a little longer than others. So many juicy colors and incredible line work😍 (as always)

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Haha I definitely hear you on the mortal book weakness :'~) Thanks so much!

    Your videos are always so calming and has a familiar vibe. Like two old friends catching up. An art book tour would be great.

    • @kesalt

      Thanks so much! In that case I'd better keep making them through the winter season ☕️❄️

    Thank you so much for this cozy video. I’m having a hard week as I lost my dog earlier this week 😢 This video gave me some calm and comfort in this difficult time. Also, I remember you lost your cat some time ago, and it makes me hopeful to see you with your new cat. It reminds me that even though I can never have my dog back, I will one day hopefully find a new dog to love ❤️

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci

      I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you find some healing 💖 Yes! It took me a while to adopt a new cat; I was afraid of comparing them or feeling like it would make me miss my first cat more. But I'm glad I took my time and adopted when I was ready - they're all unique individuals and each relationship is wonderful in different ways. I hope you find a new dog when you're ready 💕

    I think Sumi knows when the camera is rolling and thinks: " get cute, the world is watching." Your vlogs are a masterclass of an artist's life and works. I love the inclusion of your cultural background (Newyorker and Asian American) ...whether intentional or not. Have you read all the books you have; I hadn't even heard of many of the books. I'm excited for an artbook tour, but I'm also interested in the other books (despite this being an art channel). Your opinions matter. Especially from those most aware and those with the capacity and ability for the abstract; like yourself. Your art is a critical necessity, to sustain what is best about us. Creativity, nurture and love. Without these, peace has no place to grow.

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Haha she certainly is a pro at that!! Other than The Brothers Karamazov I've read everything on that shelf - though the majority of the novels and non fiction I read come from the library (I am a sucker for art books tho). Ah, so well put! Thanks so much for your encouragement :'~)

    My digital artwork doesn't exist in a sketchbook per se, but in timestamped folders capturing each year of my work, so it's missing that thrill of finishing the final page, but each year starts a new empty folder of possibilities. It's been a long time since I last saw someone in media eat waffles the same way I do, pouring on syrup and using a knife and fork. I've also not been to IHOP in a while. Anyway, thanks for helping me feel a bit more "normal" in my waffle-eating style.

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci +1

      The digital version must give you so much flexibility! And it must feel a lot like seeing an empty set of pages to see that new folder of possibilities. I wasn't aware that people ate waffles a different way, aside from maybe with chicken, haha!

    I highly appreciate and thank you for speaking up about what's happening in Gaza. I've been following your Instagram and watching your videos for nearly a year now (I even have a gender reversed piece of yours as a study in one of the page posts on my art account which I tagged you as well ahaha your art is very elegant and beautiful) and it truly brightened my day to see you addressing this topic.
    Anddd I would definitely love to see an artbook tour! Thank you once again, and I wish you a bombastic and soul-nourishing day. :)

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci +1

    Love the kitty dance! And such creative colorful artwork as always. Just now wondering - how do you stop Sumi from chewing on all your plants?

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Haha thanks! I'm not really sure, she's more interested in the birds she can see from her window seat as well as our playtimes with her cat wand I think 😸

    Hi, I love your vlogs! Your art has really inspired me to illustrate my characters more freely and loosely without them feeling too realistic! 😅 I wanted to ask what sketchbook do you use? 🥰 The pages are so light, i can totally tell! I've been using the same popular ones, but it just doesn't fit my style. I like Midori!

  • @melissaartistry6041

    Another great vlog, thank you for sharing, you kept me company at 3am Australian time...not sleeping well at the moment...maybe I need a caffeine break 🤔 I have a mini house panther too but Marley is a tad too introverted to share his space with canines 😊You have such a vibrant distinctive drawing style. Do you draw the patterns and images primarily straight from your imagination or start with a reference and tweak it to your style? Love the colour combinations and interesting spreads. The gallery visit was amazing. Thank you for sharing your "small" but valuable life across the sea.🙏 🥰

    • @kesalt
      @kesalt  Před 10 měsíci

      Glad I could keep you company at so late an hour! I hope you get a good night's rest. I really do recommend trying a caffeine detox if you're game! My sleep was so much better. House panthers are the best, introverted or no! With the patterns I draw, sometimes I'll just make it up out of my imagination but sometimes I'll look at multiple references. Thanks so much for watching 💕
