Time

This is an illustration of a story how some people work too much and don't have enough time for their private lives.

Book dummy from the past...

This is a children's book dummy I made when I was around 13 or 14 years old. The story is based on my own experience of the time when I moved to Canada for a few years as a child.

"Junko's Black Hair"








"Illustration & story by Junko Miyakoshi"

"One day, Junko arrived at an airport with her mom. As she looked around and saw unfamiliar people, she thought..."

"Wow... brown hair, blond hair, red hair... they're so beautiful! Why is my hair black...?"

"I got it! Hair color changes if I stay here!"

"'What hair color do I want? Brown? But blond is also good..' Junko excitedly waited her hair color to change but..."
"Her hair color stayed black in the morning and at night."


"One day, Junko got into a new school. She felt uncomfortable being the only kid with black hair, but then..."
"Everyone gathered around her saying, 'Wow, you have such pretty black hair!'"

"That night, Junko looked herself in a mirror and thought, 'Maybe this black hair isn't bad after all... Maybe this black hair is only for me!'"
"Ever since that day, Junko proudly had her black hair down."
-The End-

"How Junko's day starts"














This actually is a true story, and I really thought my hair color would change..!! All Japanese people have black hair (unless dyed), and it was pretty shocking for a 5 year-old kid who had never been outside her country!!

Illustration Friday -Theory-

You can't change the past, but the future is up to you.
So don't hang on to what's done, and move forward.

It's nice to have options.
