Hello.everyone.
It's Ikuni.
Lamplight exhibition finished on 26th at Irori-mura.
Thank you a lot for coming, supporting and sending a messege through SNS.
Originally it was held last spring, but it was postponed due to the state of emergency .
At that time, the announcement in Osaka began to be suggested again.
I was worried about what would happen, but I would like to be honestly pleased that it was completed successfully.
And I think the organizer was really difficult, so I am full of gratitude.
I think the decision to postpone it was difficult.
However, what I thought at the venue was that the impression of "Lamplight Exhibition vol.2" was stronger than that of "postponed for one year".
There were some artists who had completely replaced their works, and I felt that it was "twice delicious" 'cause I used to saw the exhibition scenery side by side for the video shoot last year,
When I postponed it last year due to a state of emergency, I just exhibited and shot a video. There is it in Youtube, please watch!
It was a wonderful exhibition with a soft atmosphere that made me feel relieved just by being in that space.
I'm really honored to be a writer, thank you.
I exhibited it like this.
There are 3 works in total.
The big work in the foreground is the cover of the manga "Ai no Hoshi" published last year.
★You can read "Ai no Hoshi" on Kindle.(just in Jappanese)
Also, this work has colored pencil making, so if you like, please watch..
The work on the lower left is a replaced work that was not exhibited last year.
I drew a light that come on the village where inside manga.
It depicts the light that visits the village in the manga.Please read the manga "Ai no Hoshi" to find out what kind of light it is.
As I mentioned in my previous blog, I will suspend the exhibition activities with the exhibition now.
The reason is, of course, that it is difficult to be compatible with manga.
I'm not a dexterous person, so I've always had this problem of compatibility.
However, I decided to take a break because I decided to study abroad in Italy from next year.
…You may be surprised by the ridiculous story, but I've always had this too. For me, this is the hurdle that "I must overcome it while you are alive".
"why? " I'm worried when asked, Somehow I've been living with that in mind.
I've been interested in over sea since I was jr.high school student,
I've been thinking "I want to live over the sea" for a long time.
Now the environment is I love well is comfortable, with large impatience that "this remains'm myself resulting in stagnation."
Yes, let's change the country.
...like it.
In the winter of the year before last, my dog died, and the following year, everything stopped with a state of emergency.There was a very painful time that there are no dog to stay at home.
But after a year, I became a little more positive and various possibilities began to bud around me....There is such a feeling that a sudden tailwind pushed my back and made me go.
That's how much momentum came up with the idea of "let's change the country."
I haven't been able to lift my back for many years, but when I noticed it, I contacted the mediator and consulted with ZOOM, and it seems that the school will be decided soon.
Sorry for the really weird story ...
But that's really the reason.
The answer is that the exhibition will be suspended because I will be away from Japan.
I intended to stay as it was without actually talking about the reason.
The reason is that I don't have to say that because I didn't have the personality to talk about such things to many people and I thought that everyone wouldn't be interested in it.
For the first time, I realized that there are people who care about me when more people than I thought this time said, "Isn't it the last exhibition?"
I noticed it because it is a place where I can meet people.
I say it many times, but I couldn't get it if I just drew a manga.
That's why I told you today.
I'm sorry really crazy story ...
I think it's a well-known fact that I like Italy from the beginning, but you'll surprised.
Anyway I want to know "real-italy" , in addition go to the library in italy because I can't get anything from books in English and Japanese.
I intend to live more faithfully to "fun" and "want to do", and I will continue to draw such feelings and kindness in manga.
And I would be happy if I could share those feelings with you.
That is my happiness.
The video made for that happiness is the anime I posted on Youtube the other day.
I'm planning to make an anime like this again, so I hope you'll be patient.
Really it has become longer,
Finally again ...
Lamplight exhibition,
We would like to thank everyone who came, everyone who supported us, Mr. Irolimura at the venue, Shieko, the organizer, and all the writers who participated and livened up together.
Ikuni
