Like I said in the video, this look is really just a documentation of one moment in the space - it's really never like this where everything is clean and organized. The one thing that's stayed the same / has been consistent since my last art room tour is the mess!
I'm the same way, I started to end the day with tidying up which is relaxing before bed and I know that when I wake up in the morning everything will be neat.
“People have done a lot more with a lot less.” Thanks for the last words! It inspires instead of frustrates when some couldn’t get hold of those awesome art supplies. 😅
Hello hello! As I mentioned in the video, I would love to hear what your favorite children's book is (or what book is the most memorable to you). This tour has been requested a countless amount of times on Instagram. Usually (like 99.9% of the time), my studio is not this clean at all so don't be fooled by this video! - please leave any other video requests or recommendations below as well!
PearFleur My favorite children’s book when I was little was Elmer the Patchwork Elephant ✨ it helped me realize that it’s okay to be different and that I don’t need to fit in :)
Everyone reccing really interesting and aesthetic books and im like...diary of a wimpy kid lol but growing up these books felt special to me: - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - Inkheart by Cornelia Funke - Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren Love the video!!
I remember my two favorite books as a child being "A little Princess" by Frances Hodgson and "Mio, My Son" by Astrid Lindgren, I still have them today as a memory :)
When I was little I read a book about a girl who finds a old round window in the attic of a old castle-like house that allows you to travel through time when you climb through it. It's called Moon Window and the cover art really left an impression on me as a little girl. It's absolutely gorgeous.
One of my favorite books is Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, I used to stare at each page for long stretches of time and come up with stories in my head and put myself to sleep every night like that as a kid
if you’re looking for some charming children’s books, you’d love the moomin series. this studio is beautiful, totally the sort of aesthetic i hope to have someday 🌿
Favorite Children’s books: Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, The Jungle Book, The Eleventh Hour, Chronicles of Narnia, The Little Prince, all of the fairy tales-blue book of fairy tales, red book of fairy tales, Irish fairy tales (yeats), Russian fairy tales, American folk tales, The People Could Fly, etc. I could go on...SO MANY GOOD ONES. Thanks for the tour!
your brother is me 😂 your creative space is beautiful also, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane always has a special place in my heart, from the stunning pictures to the story
“The last Elegant bear” is a short-ish story I remember reading as a kid and it never quite made sense to me completely but I thought the cover was really nice and I liked the picked inside.
Your studio looks so peaceful, like a good place for a nice cup of tea while sketching (also, a book from my childhood was Moonbird to the Rescue by Mike Higgs
my favourite books as a kid were "the magic fan" and "if you're afraid of the dark, remember the night rainbow". both super random- but i love them so much.
That standing desk is amazing. I feel like I need one now, hahah. My favorite book when I was little was The Velveteen Rabbit and my 5yo son’s favorite book is Goodnight Moon 🌝
I am absolutely obsessed with your aesthetic and your accumulation of art supplies! I have been following you since I was a child, and it has been inspiring watching you grow as an artist.
yes finally a real artist/art student studio. totally agree that it is a constant revolving state of mess, cleaning, recleaning. it has been 10 years since i left art school, this tour brings back so many memories of supplies i have since let go. ❤️❤️❤️
Two favorite childhood books - I have my set and my mother's as well. A A Milne: Now We Are Six, and A A Milne: When We Were Very Young. I am 72 now, just to give you a sense of how old the books are. You'll need to get your London on to fully appreciate them.
When I was young I adored the Brambly Hedge series by Jill Barklem! Her books are extremely charming and quaint, featuring anthropomorphic English mice. The illustrations are to die for and I still love flipping through them to relive childhood memories.
My "stuff" is never in the same place 2 days in a row either, it was very nice hearing that! lol A very short list of my favorite books growing up: Charlotte's Web, James and the Giant Peach, Island of the Blue Dolphin, and any Lady Bird fairy tale (Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Jack & the Beanstalk, you name it...IMHO the illustrations were amazing) I love that you collect children's books, too. :)
I have the privilege of a studio to work from since I got married recently and moved out of my parents' place into a house with more space. I'm collecting ideas, and yours is spectacular. I enjoy seeing less clutter and more space. But what I really like is that line you ended with "People have created a lot more with a lot less." Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us! Oh, and one of my favourite children's books is 'Olivia Saves the Circus' by Ian Falconer!
wow Your workspace has a harmonious color scheme it makes the viewer feel very comfortable and your paintings are of the same color great when you share great videos ❤️❤️
Wow i remember your last workstation tour in your other house with many colorful supplies and many more things 😂❤️ you have gone through an amazing artistic journey I am glad you made us part of it and keep making this awesome content 💖💖💖
I love your giant jars with water, I imagine they look pretty when you mix bright colours! Oh! And for children’s books I love the work of Amélie Fléchais: “The lost path” and “The little red wolf” have an amazing style.
I wish we had more studio tours with meaningful things, like, light setting, disposition of tools... this is basically stuff stuff and stuff show-offing.
My favorite children's author is Patricia Polacco, her stories and illustrations meant a lot to me growing up and her use of colors in her illustrations is beautiful.
helloo i've been subscribed to you for five years and i don't comment often but i just wanna tell you that your channel means a lot to me and i'm absolutely in love with your art and your videos AAAAA i hope you have a nice day!!!
my favorite book growing up was a poetry book called "walking on the bridge of your nose" and I also love the book "a monster calls" for its illustrations.
8:52 100 percent agreee... the thing is u will get all of this a bif studio room full stocked art supplies when u will work hard and earn by yourself if you dont have this right now thay doesn't mean u cant creat better.. its in you its your talent that should makes u greatful ..every artist should be soo thankfull for the talent they own every beginner..
One UA-camr has never brought me as much joy as I get from here. I absolutely love everything about this channel. Just watching this really improved my day which was helpful because I was in kind of in need of that. This channel tends to act as a hand lent to stop worrying for me, thank you, I adore your videos
As a little kid, my favourite book was the Brambly Hedge collection by Jill Barklem. It's full of the most beautiful watercolour illustrations by the author, which I can still get lost in for hours. The Little Grey Rabbit books by Alison Uttley are also a delight! I guess my favourite kid's novel (besides HP) is the Magyk series by Angie Sage - pretty similar to HP but with it's own sense of humour and a really wonderful setting 💛anyway, thank you so much for filming this gorgeous tour!
Your studio is so lovely! I love your figures of astro boy :D as for childrens books I grew up reading Michael Morpurgo, my favourite being Alone on a Wide Wide Sea
Your videos are increeedibly inspiring, I watched this and now I'm feeling a urge to draw just because of how inspired I am. The aesthetic is just refreshing, I dream about having my studio some day, so this made my eyes sparkle.
A children’s book I absolutely adored when I was younger was this book called “Fairy Houses” by Tracy Kane, i actually have just discovered it’s a small series! The illustrations and story are so nice!
I've always admired your curation(?) As much as you emphasize how there is no rhyme or reason to your room, I see thoughtfulness in every object you choose to acquire and keep. And to top off a video of such a beautiful space with this note: "this art room is chocked full of art supplies and other materials but it really doesn't matter. Having a well stocked studio or an art room at all for that matter doesn't make an artist. People have done a lot more with a lot less." Amazing. This is why I love watching your videos, and following your content in general :)
One monster after another by mercer mayer. It's simple yet totally complicated and the art is amazing and frog and toad is timeless and celebrates friendship like no other. Great space full of light ❤ thanks for sharing😁
What a beautiful studio! Thank you for showing it to us :) Best children books in my opinion (for children aged 7-12 yo.): The Borrowers (Mary Norton), When Marnie Was There (Joan G. Robinson), the Moomin books by Tove Jansson (in Finland every child has watched or read Moomins! In a Moomin museum located in Tampere there is a nice collection of her art work :) ). I also loved Debi Gliori's childrens' books at that age (Pure Ded Magic series) as well as A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Chronicles of Narnia (C. S. Lewis) and Diana Wynne Jones and Astrid Lindgren's books. I would also suggest books with folktales from all around the world! :)
my favourite book series from my childhood was Malory Towers by Enid Blyton and also the Famous Five and Secret Seven series by her. The audio book for Malory Towers is also really good!
My favorite children's books, as a super young kid.. Comet's Nine Lives by Jan Brett and The Sea Chest by Toni Buzzeo/Mary GrandPre. As an older kid, Watership Down by Richard Adams.
I appreciate how she stated that people have made a lot more with a lot less because although we all want a studio like this (a damn dream if i say so myself) that shouldn't hold us back on my artistic journey.. love that ♡♡
My favorite book growing up was Eragon. It launched me into a deep passion for fantasy narratives and shaped my personal tastes. Before then, I loved Wishbone, Magic Tree House, and Sideways Stories from Wayside School those books introduced me to literary classics, history, and science before they were officially covered by my schoolwork.
I have so many favorite childrens books however I remember reading with my mother the Lewis Carrol books. Loved the Walrus and the Carpenter. I did love the illustrations in the book. The mouses tail. was cute. poem written in the shape of the tail. :)
Book suggestion - My grandfather's favourite book when he was a boy and subsequently my favourite book when I was a young girl is Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome. And from looking up his name just now to make sure I've spelled it correctly I've discovered that there are sequels?! I had no idea and this has just made my day! Wouldn't have discovered that if it weren't for your request for book suggestions! Thank you!
I got excited when I saw Maus in your book collection 🥰 also thank you for linking the desk! I have severe scoliosis and that desk would be so wonderful for my back and posture! 💕
For the childrens books, if you can and want to get it, my ABSOLUTE favourite and honestly my childhood is a book called ”kuka lohduttaisi Nyytiä” (who would comfort Nyyti) it’s a book by a finnish author called Tove Jansson, and i’m pretty sure she also illustrated it. I don’t think it has been translated to english, but just the art alone is so beautiful, and honestly worth atleast checking out!
The trumpet of a swan by E. B. White was a favorite of mine as it’s a story about a mute trumpet swan who becomes a famous when he learn to play the trumpet. Another would be My Life in Dog Years by Gary Paulson and it a bunch of short stories of the author and the dogs he had. I read these books from elementary and middle schools they were great.
Responding to your question about children’s books - my favorite growing was called “A Treasury of Bedtime Stories” illustrated by Hilda Offen. Another was “Caps for Sale” written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. 😊
When I was younger, I think I read more for story than image. Only later in life, I became a little more studious of images. But these are some titles where I think the images linger because of their particular charm. Frog and Toad (Arnold Lobel); Barbar the Elephant (Jean de Brunhoff); The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Beatrix Potter); Where the Wild Things Grow (Maurice Sendak); Ernest and Celestine (Gabrielle Vincent). I learned of Vincent by way of introduction through an animated feature based on her books... Your studio looks so organized. Enjoyed seeing all your art supplies.
My lime orange tree by Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos! I read it in Korean as a kid numerous times growing up and it always made me happy and feel nostalgic.
I found you a couple weeks ago, and I can’t stop watching ur videos. I love for Your decorating style it’s so organised and spacious. It looks like it’s a really positive space
You definitely can do more with less. You can even make paint out of ashes and eggs! That’s oversimplified but I think it gets my point across. Also, children’s books are one of my favourite places for inspiration too. The most memorable one from my childhood is called “Time for a Rhyme” by Lucy Kincaid. The poems are super old fashioned and the art that goes with them is absolutely amazing. Also, John Bauer, the stories are in Swedish so I don’t have a clue what they say but the paintings are gorgeous.
lovely collection!! my top 3 favorite books are howls moving castle, the talisman by stephen king and peter straub, and sabriel by garth nix! i also love the dragonlance saga, pride and prejudice, and there is a 3 part book :dragon song, dragonsinger, and dragondrums!!! all of these books i have mentioned kept me company growing up!
How the f do you keep everything do tidy if I organize my desk it lasts MAX a week 🤒 it's so nice
Like I said in the video, this look is really just a documentation of one moment in the space - it's really never like this where everything is clean and organized. The one thing that's stayed the same / has been consistent since my last art room tour is the mess!

My daughter has a book, Too Much for Turtle. I love that one.
PearFleur My favorite children’s book when I was little was Elmer the Patchwork Elephant ✨ it helped me realize that it’s okay to be different and that I don’t need to fit in :)
I used to love The Balloon Tree when I was younger.
I don't know if it counts as a children's book, but I absolutely adore The Little Prince! I'm pretty sure you've already read it though. 😅
The complete children's works of AA Milne are my absolute favourite, especially his poems
Really great space! Like the little Tri-vane fan too.
The workspace god himself 🙌
I know who you are.... I had met you, you were with Chris do. On futur Channel 😁😂😂

LOL despite the weight of the content, those books are king! Bruh, Try "They Called Us Enemy" by George Takei
@h3ll0 k1tt7 MAUS: the Holocaust. "They Called Us Enemy": Japanese Internment Camps
@@hiimlolo4140 i am not sure the Japanese Internment Camps
are part of the holocaust but they took place in the united states.
The moomin books by Tove Jansson!
MOOMINS!!!!
I was literally going to suggest the same. 😊 The illustrated ones are magical as well.
Yes, the moominss !!!! So good
Aaaa I did see, amazing
”In a few days, things won’t be where they were before” - that’s actually really accurate
The Brothers Lionheart, Astrid Lindgren 💛💛 so so good, my absolute childhood favourite book! ✨
One book I love is called “The monster at the end of this book”
Very simple but cute!
I loved that book as a kid! Grover still is my favorite character on Sesame Street because of this book
I've been trying to get a copy of this book for years. I absolutely love it. I totally second this.
I just love how you're so gentle with your stuff :(

A children’s book recommendation is The Candy Makers! It’s a really cute and fun book.
When I was little I read a book about a girl who finds a old round window in the attic of a old castle-like house that allows you to travel through time when you climb through it. It's called Moon Window and the cover art really left an impression on me as a little girl. It's absolutely gorgeous.

"Wolf Story" was my favorite book as a kid. I had it on tape and the narration was superb.
The Little Prince and Pookie are very cute and The Water Babies is a classic
What a beautiful studio! Thank you for showing it to us :)
Best children books in my opinion (for children aged 7-12 yo.): The Borrowers (Mary Norton), When Marnie Was There (Joan G. Robinson), the Moomin books by Tove Jansson (in Finland every child has watched or read Moomins! In a Moomin museum located in Tampere there is a nice collection of her art work :) ). I also loved Debi Gliori's childrens' books at that age (Pure Ded Magic series) as well as A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Chronicles of Narnia
(C. S. Lewis) and Diana Wynne Jones and Astrid Lindgren's books. I would also suggest books with folktales from all around the world! :)
Marc Martin's "River" is one of my favourite illustrated books, I love his use of texture and colour.
my favourite book series from my childhood was Malory Towers by Enid Blyton and also the Famous Five and Secret Seven series by her. The audio book for Malory Towers is also really good!
Oh I used to read The Famous Five as well!
My favorite children's books, as a super young kid.. Comet's Nine Lives by Jan Brett and The Sea Chest by Toni Buzzeo/Mary GrandPre. As an older kid, Watership Down by Richard Adams.
I loved The Swiss Family Robinson growing up. Highly recommend.
I appreciate how she stated that people have made a lot more with a lot less because although we all want a studio like this (a damn dream if i say so myself) that shouldn't hold us back on my artistic journey.. love that ♡♡
The little prince is definitely a classic!

Any lady bird book ever, especially the snow white, cinderella, sleeping beauty etc ones, the illustration are so beautiful and nostalgic
The Last Piece of Rainbow was my favorite children's book
For the childrens books, if you can and want to get it, my ABSOLUTE favourite and honestly my childhood is a book called ”kuka lohduttaisi Nyytiä” (who would comfort Nyyti) it’s a book by a finnish author called Tove Jansson, and i’m pretty sure she also illustrated it. I don’t think it has been translated to english, but just the art alone is so beautiful, and honestly worth atleast checking out!
"People have done a lot more for a lot less" THIS
The trumpet of a swan by E. B. White was a favorite of mine as it’s a story about a mute trumpet swan who becomes a famous when he learn to play the trumpet. Another would be My Life in Dog Years by Gary Paulson and it a bunch of short stories of the author and the dogs he had. I read these books from elementary and middle schools they were great.
Responding to your question about children’s books - my favorite growing was called “A Treasury of Bedtime Stories” illustrated by Hilda Offen. Another was “Caps for Sale” written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. 😊
When I was younger, I think I read more for story than image. Only later in life, I became a little more studious of images. But these are some titles where I think the images linger because of their particular charm. Frog and Toad (Arnold Lobel); Barbar the Elephant (Jean de Brunhoff); The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Beatrix Potter); Where the Wild Things Grow (Maurice Sendak); Ernest and Celestine (Gabrielle Vincent). I learned of Vincent by way of introduction through an animated feature based on her books... Your studio looks so organized. Enjoyed seeing all your art supplies.
OMG, this Studio is so beautiful and peaceful. I love every detail of this room.
I love the children's book "Giraffes can't dance." The vibrant colors in the books are so beautiful.
My lime orange tree by Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos! I read it in Korean as a kid numerous times growing up and it always made me happy and feel nostalgic.
This is lovely !

I found you a couple weeks ago, and I can’t stop watching ur videos. I love for Your decorating style it’s so organised and spacious. It looks like it’s a really positive space
You definitely can do more with less. You can even make paint out of ashes and eggs! That’s oversimplified but I think it gets my point across. Also, children’s books are one of my favourite places for inspiration too. The most memorable one from my childhood is called “Time for a Rhyme” by Lucy Kincaid. The poems are super old fashioned and the art that goes with them is absolutely amazing. Also, John Bauer, the stories are in Swedish so I don’t have a clue what they say but the paintings are gorgeous.
One of my favourites is Momoko and the pretty bird. A short picture book with fluid watercolour illustrations.
The Josefina Story Quilt has gotta be one of my favorite books!
