(Enjoy. Not my video)

With a heavy sigh Geiju looked up at the ceiling.

Another weekend.

And that meant another two days of laying around and hating everything he created. Every masterpiece that he made looked like garbage. Usually this is caused by a single mis-stroke that ruins the painting.

One time he attempted to recreate the Mona Lisa out of sheer boredom that looked pretty good until he realized that he forgot a random bridge that was in the background. Funny how one mistake could make an almost perfect replica look shameful and disgraceful.

He heard a calling from downstairs,"Geiju! Breakfast!" He stood up and headed downstairs to see his mom placing a bowl of miso soup.

"Thanks mom, it looks really good," he smiled as she came over and kissed the top of his head.

"Thank you, you're so sweet!" Her smile was kind as Geiju sat down,"Any new projects?"

"No... nothing's looking right..." he frowned and grabbed it with his hands.

"Aw well that's a shame, I was going to send a picture to Ichiryu."

Ichiryu Tsuburaya is Geiju's older sister. She's a well known manga writer and recently left Japan to travel the world with her boyfriend. The two siblings are at least 6 years apart. In some ways, she motivates her younger brother to do art, but not in the same style as her.

"Oh... I don't think she would want to see my paintings anyways..." he took another sip.

"Of course she would want to see your art! She loves seeing you work on your stuff," she assured him, taking the empty bowl off the table once he was done,"You shouldn't doubt her love for your art Geiju..."

"If you say so mom..." he stood up and started walking up the stairs,"I'm going to try painting something... I'll be right back."

Momma Tsuburaya held a thumbs up,"Okay! Be sure to show me after you finish!" And with that he left to grab his oil paints to try and paint something that he could be proud of.
