Fig 1 (Meeting at the Butcher's Daughter)
The dream comes true 🎊
The story goes like this.
A few years ago, in 2015, I had the habit of using Pinterest. And I created a board called NYC since I love the architecture there and wish I could visit there someday.
And one of the pins is a cafe scene with a pretty chair and background which gives a feeling of relaxation and chill.
After that, I used that picture as a reference to draw and create the story before that drawing is that Two friends living in different places. They are connected by 2 restaurants. One mailing a book to another through the pot. A book warms one's heart from Summer to Winter.
Then, I was called to serve in New York City in 2018 as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.
In Autumn 2018, my companion and I decided to go to a fancy breakfast which was not too far from our apartment.
At that time, I just thought that it is a fancy place with a nice atmosphere, cute flowers and pretty and healthy food. And I took some photos near that restaurant.
After my mission, I try to find the account of that restaurant to follow on IG. To my surprise, I have already followed that account. It is wired that I heard of this place before I went there, thinking to myself.
Then, I tried to figure the reason. Finally, I realised that I followed it since I used that place as a reference for my drawing.
This is a special and fun miracle for me that it is like a dream comes true. People often mention that we dream of our future. And in my case, it is that I draw the place where I will visit later without planning it.
What a fun and precious experience for me. Thanks, Pinterest!
And that's why I redraw the drawing using digital software. Having the two friends meeting together at that restaurant called The Butcher's Daughter located in NYC.
