he just thinks he's so cool, huh? {it's adorable}

I've always wanted to draw debut-era vernon (especially with that little bandana he used to wear 🥺) so when I got invited to a mansae collab and vernon was the only slot left I knew it was written in the stars for me. (The struggle for refs was real but I ended up chosing my least favorite becaue it was the most mansae. This photo cracks me up, he was trying so hard to be a cool kid back then not knowing how effortlessly he'd be nailing it by today 😭)

I realized after choosing the ref that in 2015 he was already wearing his SVT ring! 😭 I didn't know when they got the rings but my heart melted to remember how long they've all been together, so I made sure to make the ring the highlight of the painting!

I also took the original photo (cold, gross) and entirely remixed the color scheme into... you guessed it... sunset colors 😂 AGAIN I know, but they're just the best so fight me. (Also... went wild with the scribbles on this one... how we feeling about it folks?)

happy birthday dino

Exactly one year ago today, on dino's very birthday, I was dancing for my life on the national stage. I was across the country for dance team nationals with the hiphop team dino himself inspired me to join. Funny how the universe plays these things out. Do you know even beyonce herself used to have an alter ego so she could forget her nervous self and become that queen onstage? Well last year on dino's birthday was the most afraid I have ever been in my life. But it was also the proudest. I couldn't believe how far we'd come as a team and I as a dancer. When I stepped on stage for the first time, I was so afraid I wouldn't be sharp enough, charismatic enough, powerful enough. But as we took our places I envisioned myself as my biggest inspiration, the legend himself, right where I belonged between my incredible teammates. I can confidently say I gave it everything I had and it was far from perfect, but I know dino would be proud of me. Looking back on that day one year ago, it remains the hardest thing I've ever done. It really changed the way I see myself and imagine what I can do. I feel invincible, and it all leads back to one spark. So I wanted to honor the incredible dancer who pushed me to push myself and break my limits with a very special piece. So happy birthday lee chan, if only you knew the ways you've changed lives 🩵

I'm not sure what to say except that my 11-year-old self would FLIP OUT if she saw all these not-stick-figures with her name on it, so now that I know what just a few years can do, I can't wait to see what happens next 💜
