I’m fascinated with the creative process, with how artists think, where they draw their inspiration from, and how they come up with ideas. So today, I thought I’d try to peel back the layers on my process. I will use the four pieces I created last month for the Seek, Gather, Create mixed media scavenger hosted on Instagram, which I shared in
This is your best post ever. Love the way you shared your thought processes from getting the wtf? prompts to using your imagination and creativity to get you to the point where flow kinda took you over. My favorite? The bear one. Thank you Shinjini for your bravery and honesty.
Gosh, thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this post, and reading about my thought process. So interesting that you liked the bear illustration best. Maybe I should try my hand at a slightly more illustrative style too....I know I’ve been wanting to!
I especially appreciated the quotes (from your process journal I assume?) and the way you weave then in through the piece. Thanks for this insight into your process!
Wow, your creative process is truly fascinating! I appreciate your detailed explanation of how you tackled each week's theme. It's hard to pick a favourite because each week and piece has its own unique charm and story. Your ability to adapt and find inspiration in unexpected places is inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work Shin!
Great look into your process, love it! I think I like the Winnie the Pooh one the best.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this. And I’m pretty stoked that you liked the Winne the Pooh one the best. That was quite out of my comfort zone!
I like how you incorporated the wildflowers into the bear. And that he’s holding the fish, helping him drink the rain like you said.
So much better than all the bloody images I initially came up with, for sure! 😂😂

Yes! Those are some notes and brainstorming from my studio journal. I just edited them a bit for better readability ;-)
They’re all so good! Hard to choose but the blue woman drew me in.
Thank you so much, Ramona. Creating the textures and color palette for the blue woman was such a fun, intuitive process!
They're all great. And they do look like fun to create!
Oh yes! So fun!!
