THUNDER 'N' SEA
Exchange illustration Diary by LITTLE THUNDER and KAI
ーーーーーーーーーー
Back in 2017, I met Kai when she came to my exhibition '# ME.'
She was just a middle school student at that time.
Then, in 2020, during a signing event , a girl told me it was her 18th birthday.
I wrote 'Happy Birthday' next to my signature, and that girl was Kai.
I've always remembered that moment.
In the summer of 2024, I saw some cool artworks on Instagram and realized the artist was the birthday girl from years ago!
She's studying in Tokyo, since I was going Tokyo too, I thoght it would be great to meet up.
When we finally met, it felt like we had known each other forever.
We drew together, walking around Harajuku, and she took me to the photoism spot.
Everytime we get together, we just drawing together.
Kai inspired me a lot, and with Yoshi's help, we stareted our exchange diary THUNDER 'N' SEA!
Little Thunder
ーーーーーーーーーー
I first Little Thunder on my 18th birthday in Hong Kong at her fan-sign event four years ago.
Back then, I was graduating high school soon and Little Thunder's works have always been a source of inspiration for me.
We met officially at i2 cafe in Tokyo this year, and drew for the entire afternoon
before walking around the area in Harajuku, Tokyo.
Little Thunder remembered Gallery LE MONDE, where she held a solo exhibition in 2019, and we visited there together.
Yoshi who is the owner of the gallery was surprised to see Little Thunder, and that night we all went our for dinner.
After showing Yoshi our drawings of each other from the day, he proposed that we do an exchange diary project together.
Being able to be in such close conversation with Little Thunder feels like talking to an older sister,
or as I like to call her , 'MAMI(媽咪)'
A lot of the emotions I may not be able to talk about seems to be understood by her,
and for some reason, it really felt like I grew up with her.
I'm really grateful that I was able to collaborate and get to know Little Thunder through art,
and this relationship is something I really cherish.
Kai
