From Character Illustrator to Blockchain Product Manager: A Journey
<p><em>This essay was written in February 2023, marking the 11th month of my deep dive into the blockchain scene. (</em><a href="https://blog.naver.com/do_ong_geul/223014734505" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Korean original</em></a><em>)</em></p>
<p>Writing here feels like a long-lost activity. How has everyone been? It feels like I’ve been neglecting my creative work for nearly a year. I’d like to briefly share what’s been happening during this time.</p>
<p>I began my journey as an illustrator in September 2019 when I took on the challenge of creating Kakao emoticons. I’ve always enjoyed expressing myself in various forms, and the tablet became one of my preferred mediums. I particularly enjoyed recording my emotions, life wisdom, and moments of enlightenment. As I collected sentences that resonated with me, I started turning them into illustrations one by one. <strong>While managing </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nuggetisnotchicken/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Nugget’s Instagram</strong></a><strong>, I found genuine interest in connecting with people through my artwork and sharing everyday emotions and thoughts.</strong></p>
<p>In truth, since September 2019, I’ve harbored a dream of making a living through art. I distinctly remember having my first immersive experience that lasted for four hours when I picked up a tablet and <strong>realized that I wanted to pursue a life of drawing.</strong> Through art, I had a profound and precious experience that felt unique and invaluable in my life.</p>
