Hello, everybody! Filling the 7-year gap, little by little?!

I've come back to this blog, left neglected for a long time. Surprisingly, the blog is still alive, and it seems there are people who visit. It's not that no one came; it's simply that I wasn't posting. Being caught up in building the websites I run is one reason, but that's not all of it. My last post was about the "Ghobbuls" cards. After that, the COVID pandemic came, and I went through a difficult period. Even during that time, I completed many works, and I was doing writing activities too. Maybe it's a habit of mine that facing hardship makes me want to write a book. In fact, after that I went on to write two more books, and from there I came to make a lot of three-dimensional pieces. That became the reason more opportunities to exhibit work in galleries increased too.

So today, first, I want to share my recent situation, and fill in this seven-year gap togeth
er with you all, and move forward. It's hard to write everything at once, so I'll write it little by little. I don't know who is watching, but "I saw this," "huh," "oh, is that so," anything at all, please leave a comment. I'd be happy if that became a nice connection with people.

I'm still working hard on my creative work, same as always. It's still too early to burn out, so please let your reactions be nourishment for living in the present.

Now, my websites / Hoodie's Collection have been renewed and so fab-a-la-carte as well. First, if you sign up at "fab-a-la-carte," I can send you regular sale information and the latest Ghobbuls news.

At "fab-a-la-carte" and KO-FI, I'm also selling two new books: I am a Good Me-Me-Monster and Hand, Sometimes Hands. As The Ghobbuls Project, I'm aiming to expand into various directions.

"Art Therapy with The Ghobbuls" is an activity I started about two years ago, after earning my Art Therapy Practitioner certificate. It's become an enjoyable effort, incorporating the Ghobbuls way of thinking into art. Please click and take a look.

Well then, see you in the next post!
