Even when we're apart from each other, we hope our thoughts are always connected. For those of us who have ever wondered “What is he/she/they doing right now? Is he/she/they thinking about me?” This picture is inspired by one of my favorite artists @cinta_vidal , whose warm, gravity-defying, and awe inspiring artworks always evoke calming and nostalgic emotions for me. 🖼 . . . #miniature #love #lovers #tiny #gravity #antigravity #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #繋ぎ #恋人 #愛情 #思念 #恋 #想念 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaaJlyDpJlP/?utm_medium=tumblr

We wonder if we already missed the one we are meant to be with. Have you ever wondered if our unintentional decision at certain turn of our life have cost us the chance encounter with the one? Or, you have stories you would like to share with me about it. If you find today meaningful, hope you have a memorable day.❤️ . . . #miniature #ValentinesDay #valentines #love #couple #lovers #tiny #escolator #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #すれ違い #錯過 #バレンタイン #情人節 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9zg6lp482/?utm_medium=tumblr

We wonder if we have been sheltered in a protected environment for too long. Although I have long been aware, I still find it incredible that I am always surrounded by supportive friends and coworkers at every stage of my life so far. Like a delicate flower in the greenhouse, I wonder if I can survive out in the world alone. 🤔🌱🌷 Also this scene was extra time consuming because I made majority of the plants out of scraps. . . . #miniature #greenhouse #nursery #plants #flowers #plant #plantbased #tiny #plantdad #plantmom #art #light #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #溫室 #温室 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZe7XCvplA3/?utm_medium=tumblr

We are obsessed with sticking to our self improvement routines. It’s almost the end of January and I hope your new year resolution is still going strong. While I don’t do new year resolutions, my new thing this year is elevating my cardio game. I got a Peleton over the holidays and I am religiously burning crazy calories on the regular basis. It feels good knowing you are making progress in some aspect of your life! . . . #miniature #cardio #peleton #exercise #gym #bike #treadmill #art #light #night #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #運動 #ジム #健身房 #selfimprovement (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZM6AAapAHj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is the 80th anniversary of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, one of my favorite paintings of all times. A few years back, around his birthday, I suddenly had this strong desire to create a rendition of this masterpiece with my miniatures. What followed was 8 straight nights of measuring and arranging and a meaningful picture for me to cherish. I was honestly surprised by my own determination and then the reactions from the internet (It even got the attention of Smithsonian and Art Institute of Chicago where the original painting is on display.) Today I am going to put this picture behind me in video conferences for my coworkers and clients to see. . . . #miniature #nighthawks #edwardhopper #masterpiece #rendition #bar #contemporary #art #light #night #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZAB_5Lpa-9/?utm_medium=tumblr

We struggle to wade through our daily life in this harsh season. Seattle started the year with a brutal week of non-stop snow and biting cold weather that basically paralyzed much of the city. Every little errand felt like such a perilous expedition. I’m so glad we are now back to the regular whining about the typical dark and rainy wet Seattle winter. 🌧 . . . #miniature #winter #snow #snowday #art #expedition #street #seattle #light #nightwalk #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #積雪 #冬 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYt_8OoJpA2/?utm_medium=tumblr

We wonder if we should lower our expectations for the new year. We often inevitably get our hopes up before anything really materializes. Opportunities and people don’t always turn out to be the way we imagined when the rose-colored glasses slip off. Better manage our wishful thinking and have a realistic outlook for this year. . . . #miniature #newyearresolution #happynewyear #mentalhealth #wishfulthinking #outlook #art #interiordesign #urban #light #goldenretriever #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #新年快樂 (at Pioneer Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYUQh98pmle/?utm_medium=tumblr

We struggle to find the courage to put ourselves out there. It is difficult to open ourselves up, to be present, and embrace our own vulnerability. And the worst of all, hoping every aspect of us will be accepted. Watching rom-coms, I keep wondering how they do it. 🤔 . . . #miniature #serendipity #icerink #iceskating #love #lovers #dating #romcom #relationship #couple #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #告白 #恋人 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYEz250Jsa-/?utm_medium=tumblr

We solidify our bond on the morning of the magical day. Merry Christmas! When @Society6 asked me to share my idea of holiday exprience, my mind immediately went to the classic moment when couples surprise each other with a puppy on Christmas morning. To me this sweet joyful moment is a gesture and sign of their relationship moving forward. I hope this morning you found something you have always wanted under the tree. 🎁 . . . #miniature #Christmas #holidays #Christmastree #puppy #gift #present #relationship #couple #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #プレセント #クリスマス #聖誕節 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/marsder/p/CX6pkxeP7Kb/?utm_medium=tumblr

We protect what we cherish the most this and every holiday season. This is by far my personal favorite holiday themed picture I have done so far. Every year this pictures takes on new meaning and this year, the second year in pandemic and with another new variant, this hand gesture of surrounding and shielding the small glowing warmth and hope further symbolizes what we need to do to keep our loved ones safe, healthy, and happy. Hope everyone stay safe out there if you plan on going somewhere this week. . . . #miniature #Christmas #holidays #Christmastree #hands #capcut #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #聖誕樹 #クリスマス #聖誕節 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXwNcf5pwpu/?utm_medium=tumblr

We hope we still have enough time and youth to explore and see the world. Recently I keep seeing tag lines like “You still have 50 years after you turn 50” in multiple languages. The idea of aging starts becoming a topic closer and closer to me and it really makes me think about what I want to do for the remaining time of my life. I hope I will have the luxury to still expand my horizon and life experience as I grow old, like seeing this floating market in Asia. . . . #miniature #aging #travel #explore #asia #floatingmarket #thailand #vietnam #market #river #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #アジア#東南亞 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXeL2qvvVco/?utm_medium=tumblr

Holidays sneak on us when we have been so occupied with work. Funny I (and my dear clients) have been working on holiday campaigns for weeks and yet I have not even started (thinking about) my holiday preparations yet, even when I work on and see ads about holiday shopping all day long. Again this picture perfectly captures the mood so I gave it a fresh coat of paint and re-edited it. (Print available) Hopefully you guys are all ahead of the game and soon to be done for 🎁 🛒 🛍 . . . #miniature #holidays #christmas #santa #shopping #holidayshopping #work #busy #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #サンタさん #クリスマス #聖誕節 #聖誕老公公 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/marsder/p/CXMKZhEP9Km/?utm_medium=tumblr

We are overcoming our pandemic anxiety and getting back out on the road for the holidays. I’m finally going to take public transportation (train!) today for a much needed break and to spend Thanksgiving break with friends. If you know me you’d know this is a big deal. I’m feeling both excited and nervous 😅 Have a great Thanksgiving break! . . . #miniature #train #platform #thanksgiving #friendsgiving #travel #amtrak #railroad #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #感恩節 #鉄道 #旅行 (at Amtrak Station-Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWliy5Evz-k/?utm_medium=tumblr

We escape our reality by diving into the fantasy worlds in the books. I have been in a sci-fi phase lately especially ever since I started watching Foundation. I just love the idea of immersing yourself in a completely different world. Obviously I need to pick up more books and get back to reading. Any suggestions(any genre)? . . . #miniature #book #reading #fantasy #reality #lighting #art #scifi #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #imagination #miniaturephotography #gateway #stairs #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #科幻 #奇幻 #閱讀 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWJOFHdvn_b/?utm_medium=tumblr

We hope we still have enough fuel in the tank left for the remainder of the year. I have been so busy and stressed with work and commissions recently I can barely catch a breath and the weather in Seattle is not helping… This picture is one of my all time favorites I have done. I had to hold the flashlight in one hand to find the right lighting and operate my iPhone in the other to focus and take the picture. The outcome was so serendipitous (it seems to be the reason for most of my favorite pictures…) Holiday break can’t come any sooner… . . . #miniature #season #exhausted #tired #exhaustion #fatigue #night #fall #lighting #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #imagination #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #미니어처 #累 #疲勞 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBfYDzvyKu/?utm_medium=tumblr

We can’t overcome our self consciousness and socialize in a costume. I actually have never been in any costume in any social setting. I don’t think I am alone here? Halloween is tough for socially awkward people like me… Also I wonder how many people are going to dress up in this uniform this year… . . . #miniature #Halloween #SquidGame #costume #costumeparty #lighting #art #diorama #miniatures #miniaturist #miniatureart #photography #imagination #miniaturephotography #illustration #illustrator #shotoniphone #miniatureart #ミニチュア #ジオラマ #Miniatur #miniatura #迷你 #袖珍 #세밀화 #萬聖節 #烏賊遊戲 #コスチューム #仮装 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVf9KrOv2qT/?utm_medium=tumblr
