Little People Houses! (Miyazaki Distraction)

I think I'll start off with the distraction.
I finished!!! This painting I was working on forever.
Here's a very bad cell phone picture. Can you figure out what it is? A kitchen! For little people. See?
There's a hose that drips water into a small bowl. They built a stove out of pieces of brick. That's a coke can attached to a soup can for the smoke to go out. The ceiling is wallpapered with tunafish can paper. They "borrowed" all these small glass bottles and containers. There's a spool of thread that someone's knitting a sweater from. They wove baskets out of dried grass. They carved bowls and plates and cups from wood chips. They have an antique fork and spoon. And there's even a tiny ceramic pitcher from a dollhouse.

I don't know, I would live there. It looks very warm and cozy. Like a simplified version of life. No busy electronics anywhere. I like those times. I mostly like my settings to be before electricity or extremely modern. Like flying cars modern. Not so good with current times.

Anyway, did you ever watch Arrietty by Studio Ghibli? I was inspired by that.

So cool, right?
I love Miyazaki Hayao's work. It's so beautiful and breathtaking. I went to an exhibition about him in Korea and I got to see his layouts. Seriously, each one is a work of art.

Ok, dying. There's a whole book of these out there. I think it's really amazing.
And if you haven't, you should really watch the Studio Ghibli movies. There's something magical about them. Not Disney magical, but still magical.

Ohmigod, I'm hungry! I will continue this another day. And my computer's too slow!
Bye!
