Pray Otter
One day, I saw a video called “What if animals are round,” and it made me think, what if animals pray? I want to create a group of animal prayer scratchboard artworks. So I started with a “Prayer Squirrel” and “Prayer Otter”. Here’s the Prayer Otter. I saw it cleaning his face; I caught the […]
Craving Love Scratchboard Artwork
When I experienced so much trauma and hardship in life, my personality became a little spice and unreasonable because I didn’t know how to deal with people. It makes me feel like a hedgehog that is packed with poky sticks on my body, trying to keep myself safe. At the same time, I still wish […]
