Description

Every sky's an inspiration,
Every cloud floats free,
Unlock your imagination,
Draw what you see!

Hirameki: Clouds by Peng & Hu is a delightful journey into the world where doodling and imagination intersect. The term "Hirameki" means 'brainwave' or 'flash of inspiration' in Japanese, signifying the art of transforming a random blot into something incredible, simply by adding a few dots and lines.

If it's true that happiness can be found in the little things, then this book is sure to keep your eyes, hand, and brain entertained for hours.

About the Author

The artists Peng and Hu first discovered the fantastical phenomenon of Hirameki when they saw a cow with a splotch that looked just like a famous filmstar. They quickly realized that even the tiniest blot could be easily turned into something amazing. Hirameki has become a fabulous art form for everybody: even the most inexperienced doodlers can produce hundreds of sensational scribbles. Peng and Hu's passion for collecting blots and dots of all kinds has taken over their lives!
