Aki vs. the blow dryer. I just wanted to see what would happen if a sketch could feel the wind.

Day 5 · Smack Some lessons take a few tries.

Day 4 · Cactus Three travelers. One giant. And a reason to stop for a while. I’d also stop for a saguaro like this.

Day 3 · Miniature So... animated collectible figurines next?

Worlds in Worlds. I created this piece in VR back in 2016, and ten years later it still feels like one of the most magical things I’ve ever made. That’s what I love about creating in VR. You can build a world, step inside it, and then discover there’s another world waiting within it.

Life is a little more magical when you have friends who bring their own soundtrack.

Sometimes all it takes is a familiar shape and a little imagination. A king oyster mushroom slowly turned into this tiny traveler.

Still Growing No matter how far we've come, there's always room to grow.

You Voted. I Made It. You voted and Aki won, so I made you a new wallpaper. Look Up just went out to my subscribers as the first free wallpaper drop. Want to catch the next one? Sign up through the link in my bio and you'll get a free wallpaper to start, plus future drops.

Foggy Titan We tend to fill the unknown with our own assumptions. Sometimes what seems frightening at first is simply something we haven't had the chance to understand yet.

Nothing Else For a little while, there was nowhere else to be and nothing else to do. Hot springs can be so incredibly relaxing. I've been lucky enough to experience quite a few around the world. I haven't shared one with a Japanese macaque yet, though.

Picked for You The best gifts aren't always the ones we buy.

A few of my favorite pieces, now in print. For Labor Day weekend, all art prints are 25% off through September 7. No code needed. GORO.ART

Proof We Were Here Sometimes a photo isn't about remembering what a place looked like. It's about remembering who was there with you.

Let it Rain No need to find the bright side of everything. Some days are allowed to just be rainy days.

One More Sip I made this animation before my son was born. Now he does the exact same thing with lemon slices. Takes a bite, shivers, then goes right back for more. Funny how life sometimes catches up with your art.

A Quiet Day Not every good day needs to be an eventful one. Fishing is a recurring subject in my paintings. I've actually never gone fishing myself, but the calmness and feeling I try to capture in these scenes is what I imagine it would be like. It's still on my bucket list.

Closer Than You Think Sometimes the things that feel impossibly far away are closer than we realize.

No Approval Needed You don't need everyone to understand what you're doing. Keep going anyway.

Small Sometimes feeling small puts everything else into perspective.

Forest Keeper — They gave him a purpose. He found a reason. 🌿✨ A quiet moment built layer by layer, from digital sketch to archival print.

Felt Falls is one of my favorite Quill felt render experiments that I've done.

Different Kinds of Happy Joy doesn't look the same for everyone. Sometimes it's running in circles. Sometimes it's sitting quietly and watching.

Sleepy Coffee For those days when even your coffee thinks you should go back to bed.

Worth the Climb We spend so much time looking toward the next destination that sometimes we forget to stop and appreciate how far we've already come.

Somewhere Ahead You may not be able to see where you're going yet. That doesn't mean you're lost.

Right Here Aki finds that sometimes the most beautiful things come to us when we stop looking for them.

View from Below Sometimes a change in perspective is all it takes to see the light.

You don't always have to keep moving to be moving forward.

Sometimes Aki likes to write down the little moments from his day. The kind he doesn't want to forget.

Sometimes Aki likes to take his friends to the windy hills, just to enjoy the view and feel the wind for a while.

When taking a break from being an antihero gains you a few....

Another early concept before Aki became Aki. This one looks a bit psychotic 😆

Rainy Afternoon Sometimes it’s good to just relax and watch.

Marsh Run

It’s like playing guitar….right? 😅

hanging out with friends roasting apples #life

One of the early concept sketches that evolved into Aki

Hello, Giant I've always been drawn to the idea of robots that can feel. Machines capable of empathy, curiosity, and a connection with the natural world. Something man-made finding its place among something living. There's something beautiful about that contrast.

Who remembers Rumo from Ink Trails? Legend has it, he’s still taking that mud bath.

Your Move

Play It Again - New spot. Same song. Aki and Nori are still jamming.

More from the archives. The Maker has been a repeating subject in my universe for a long time. It’s pretty wild seeing how 4 years of learning new pipelines transformed a single idea. Photoshop ➔ After Effects ➔ Quill ➔ Quill (Animated) Which stage feels most atmospheric to you?

Nemu’s Default State

After the Rain ☀️ Sometimes the puddles are the best part. Would you like to see this as a print?

Some nights are better spent around a fire. 🔥🌙 A little moment with Aki that eventually found its way into the Ink Trails Night Collection.

Rain Dance Some days just have a rhythm.
