“He has made hundreds of drawings and hasn’t stopped.”
Meet Ji Lee, a designer in New York, and his 75-year-old father, Chanjae Lee, who lives in Brazil.
Ji, who lovingly describes his father as a "grumpy old man," told BuzzFeed News Chanjae "was always very creative," but never "never took his talents very seriously."
"When he moved to Brazil [from Korea], I think he ended up abandoning a lot of his own passions to focus on making a living for the family," Ji said.
That all changed recently, when Chanjae went viral for the drawings he's been making for his three grandsons.
The story of how that came to happen is a pretty incredible one, and Ji made this video to help tell it:
So, Ji and his mom suggested he get back into drawing, which he'd loved when Ji was young, and post his work on an Instagram account.
But, Chanjae "hated the idea." He hadn't drawn in years, and was pretty averse to social media.
