大したこと  Big deal

View photos on "Hatena Blog"

A few years ago, using leftover oil paint, I scribbled something… well, calling it a “scribble” doesn’t sound great, but it was something I wrote without thinking.


Over time, I’ve grown kind of attached to it… sweat


So I thought, “Why not use this as a base for a logo?” (⁰▿⁰)


It was just a simple idea…


But as I started working on it—removing the orange background and cutting out just the letters, turning it into an image, and designing it—it ended up taking a whole day.


My shoulders were so stiff!


But thanks to that, this is what I ended up with ↓



The colors are just my style, and since I used all the colors I love on the brush and twisted it while drawing, the letters have a bit of weight to them.


I’m now thinking of ways to use this in various places.


I like simple things and concepts.


So when I designed it simply, this is how it turned out.


I never imagined something so insignificant could turn into something like this ^ - ^



YOUFORYOU


It’s a little play on my name, Yu.


What is real kindness?


I think there’s strength in truly kind things and actions.


“You are for you.”


People often tell me my paintings feel kind, but I don’t really get it myself.


Still, I’d love to create pieces that people will want to see again and again!


Since no one’s really watching, I’ll quietly leave this here.


I hope this translation captures the essence you were going for!
