I did not catch all of the twists early. Or any of them, really. The back half of this book was incredibly fun, and the Sanderlanche was tense and inspiring in a way I just LOVED. I would love to get my hands on a physical copy to better appreciate the art (my old kindle just wasn’t cutting it there).

“Art is about feelings and emotion. It’s about letting them escape, so they can be shared. It’s about capturing a truth about yourself. Like you’re ripping a hole in your chest and exposing yourself.”
“Because art is, and always has been, about what it does to us. To the one shaping it and the one experiencing it.”

"Because two of my influences were Japanese origin, I decided to lean into this basing Yumi's culture on historical Korea and Painter's on a more modern Japan" I don't really understand and can't help bu feel disappointed...
