IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

[“if you’re an artist or creative person and you haven’t made anything in a really long time and you feel bad about it I’m here to say (video cuts in quickly to his face) don’t worry about it (video reverts to regular size) you’ll make stuff again when you’re ready to make stuff again and I know it’s annoying I talk about it all the time but I took a three and a half year long break from making art (video cuts in on his face again, his eyes wide as he raises his eyebrows before cutting back to regular size again) yeah three and a half years (he chuckles shortly) and one day I just woke up and I was like: I think I wanna paint again and I did (shots of the image he painted are displayed) I ended up painting a little scene from our trip to China (cuts to a shot of him standing up, proudly holding the canvas in his hands next to the right of his face, a painting of a landscape with several plants, buildings and a grey sky) (the video cuts back to him laying down) and when I finished that piece I was like surely that was just a little fluke and I’ll see you all again in another four years but then the next week I made (he pulls in a canvas with a pink donut painted on it, a small dark brown smiley face on the pink frosting, small ears and speckled with darker pink sprinkles) chansey donut (cuts to better image of the painting and a small “chansey” is heard, a reference to the pokemon, Chansey) (cuts back to him holding the painting) yeah, my pride and joy! (he laughs, before leaning in for a short, impassioned kiss with the painting) I love you so much (cuts to him looking back at the camera, without the painting) when I took a little break from making TikToks during the holidays I made this painting! (he brings the painting into the frame, showing a pizza with various toppings, two silver containers filled with food in the top right corner and dark turquoise bowl with light brown soup at the top edge of the canvas) (shots of the painting are displayed) this was a meal we ate in Hangzhou (cuts to him standing proudly, holding the pizza to the right of his face with two hands) a rose and mango pizza and mushroom soup (cuts back to him laying down with the painting in hand) very heavy on the rose flavor it was so bizarre I had to immortalize it in paint (a slow pan over a different painting, one with various hues of green, with a small waterfall, rocks and trees, in an almost forest-like landscape) now I’m two days into this big painting that I’m making up (cuts to him in front of the painting, smiliing softly) as I go along and it’s so fun (cuts back to him laying down) if you’re an artist you’re always going to be an artist and no amount of time you spend away from creating is ever going to change that”]
