I’ll paint every Pokémon in inkwash（水墨画）1 per day, until the whole Pokédex are painted.

In The Bonsai Diary, you grow a tree and tell its story over the course of decades and then centuries. The Kickstarter for this journaling game exceeded my hopes, and the first print sold out on @ipr.bsky.social last month. Luckily, it's back in stock in time for our upcoming event:

The Bonsai Diary playthrough, part 11: @laomao.bsky.social's #bonsai is back in the hands of a more traditional bonsai grower. (Sadly, I can't get Part 10 to upload, but you can see the unconventional styling in the inset).

Commissioning @laomao.bsky.social to create The Bonsai Diary's cover art feels like pure luck. I fell in love with the work she posted to BSky, and I made a scary, gut decision to reach out. She vibed with the project immediately. Her technique still mesmerizes me:

@laomao.bsky.social plays The Bonsai Diary - part 4. Her brush strokes are mesmerizing.
(Where did part 3 go? I'm putting the full series on my new Instagram profile so I'm not flooding your feed here!)

People who've played The Bonsai Diary call it "meditative" and "contemplative," and I like to imagine the drawing is a big reason why. Drawing the strokes that comprise the tree demands focus and attention.

Here's @laomao.bsky.social showing the way:

"All of us want to make art," says @jeeyon.bsky.social (channeling Lynda Barry). As children, "you just did it because you wanted to do it and because it felt good to do." But then we start to judge our art as "good" or "bad," and many of us stop.

I believe games can rekindle that lost joy.

When I discovered @laomao.bsky.social's ink wash paintings, I knew I had to get her involved with the Bonsai Diary. So I invited her to record herself playing the game, and from there, we're going to arrive organically at a cover for the published version.

(💕 I love the sound of brush on paper! 💕)

I doodled on some youkai on vintage clothes before. I'll put them on my booth soon.

妖怪テーマの手描き古着を作りました、これからboothに通販する予定です。

我在古着上画了一些小妖怪，打算最近放到booth上卖卖看。
