“Year of the Snake, yay!!”
 
昨年はInstagram、イラストレーションファイル、Webサイトからのご依頼がとても増え、
また、「前からお仕事をご一緒したかった」「はやはらさんにお願いして本当に良かった」など、
思わず小躍りしたくなるようなありがたいお言葉をいただきました。
 
降ってわいたアイデアを描きとめているメモに肉付けしていくようなイメージであるオリジナルの制作と、
ご依頼あってのクライアントワークは、同じイラストレーションを描く行為であっても頭の中のスイッチがまた少し違いますが、
一番嬉しいのは自分の制作したもので、誰かが喜んでくれたり幸せな気持ちになってくれることです。
 
本当にいつもありがとうございます。感謝の気持ちを込めて。巳年。

Last year, we received so many requests from Instagram, illustration files, and websites,
We also received many comments such as “I have wanted to work with you for a long time” and “I am so glad I asked Hayahara-san to do my work for me,
I was so happy to have received such kind words that made me want to jump up and down.
 
We are very happy to have received such kind words from our clients,
The original work, which is like fleshing out an idea I have drawn in my notes, and client work, which is based on a request, are two different things, even though they involve the same act of drawing illustrations,
What makes me most happy is when someone is pleased or happy with my work.
 
Thank you so much for everything. With gratitude. Year of the Snake.
 
Illustrations with a sense of humor and fun.

年末、にんげんのバタバタを追い立てるように木枯らしが吹き、あちこちに秋の名残の枯れ葉が落ちている。今年は秋があったのかなかったのか。まるで小学生男子が「えっ、もうお風呂上がったの⁈」って驚くくらい、気づいたら過ぎていったイツノマニカの秋だった。
 
冬は冬で、「そんなこと関係ないもんねー」という感じで、いつもの仕事を淡々とこなす。「だってそういうケイヤクですから」と言わんばかりに、冬の存在感はあっという間に際立ち、とにかく寒い。寒さはまだしも、風が吹くと絶望的な気持ちになる。「ゆるしてください、かんべんしてください」と、つい口をついて出そうになるほど。
お酒と距離を置く生活を始めたのは、ちょうど1年前の2023年9月。なんとなく晩酌をやめてみたのがきっかけだった。筋トレした日は飲まない、と決めたら、部位を変えてほぼ毎日筋トレをするように。それで2024年は、正月、6月の打ち上げ、忘年会の3回だけしかお酒を飲まなかった。忙しくて寝る直前までバタバタしていたのも理由だけど、それ以上に感じたのは、頭がクリアで気持ちがいいこと。体調も抜群に良くて、何よりぐっすり眠れる。そして運動も腸活もしているから、本当にもう一度言いたい、体調が抜群にいい。めっちゃ健康。もっと早く始めればよかった。
 
とはいえ、正月は久しぶりに旧友と飲む予定。梅田に新しくできたバルチカ03(オッサン)に行くのが楽しみだし、翌日は実家で親と一杯やるのも楽しみ。
 
イラストの仕事は、正月明けに締め切り、その翌週にも締め切り、その次の週くらいにはビリケンさんを仕上げないと。でも、納期に追われながら描ける幸せを噛み締めている。今年もたくさん描きたい。オリジナルのアイデアメモも溜まっているので、それも形にしていきたいな。どうか今年も温かく見守っていただけたらうれしく思います。

Dumbbell Year of the Snake Girl
 
At the end of the year, the trees are dying as if to drive away the flurry of humanity, and the remnants of autumn’s dead leaves are falling here and there. Was there or was there not an autumn this year? It was an autumn in Itsunomanika that passed by so quickly that it was as if a boy in elementary school was surprised and said, “What, you’ve already taken a bath?
 
Winter was winter, and I went about my usual business with a nonchalant attitude, as if to say, “That doesn’t matter, does it? The presence of winter quickly became conspicuous, as if to say, “Because that’s the way Keiyaku is,” and anyway, it was cold. The cold is not yet overpowering, but when the wind blows, I feel hopeless. I almost want to say, “Please forgive me, please don’t do this to me.
It was exactly one year ago, in September 2023, that I began a life of distancing myself from alcohol. It was the first time I stopped drinking in the evening for some reason. Once I decided not to drink on the days I did muscle training, I started doing muscle training almost every day with different parts of the body. So in 2024, I only drank alcohol three times: New Year’s Day, June launch, and year-end party. The reason was that I was so busy that I was floundering right up to bedtime, but what I felt more was that my head was clear and I felt good. I feel great, and most importantly, I sleep well. And since I’ve been exercising and doing bowel movements, I really want to say it again, I feel outstanding. Super healthy. I should have started sooner.
 
However, I plan to have a drink with an old friend for the first time in a long while on New Year’s Day. I’m looking forward to going to the new Baltika 03 (Osan) in Umeda and having a drink with my parents at their house the next day.
 
My illustration work is due after New Year’s, the week after that, and the week after that, I should finish Billiken-san. But I am happy to be able to draw while being pressed for deadlines. I want to draw many more this year. I also have an accumulation of original idea memos, so I would like to give shape to those as well. I would be happy if you could keep a warm eye on me this year as well.
