What day is it today?
I decided to go with pliers.
I wanted to draw a “tool girl” but it’s not that easy.
I struggled with it not turning out the way I wanted, especially with the Leonardo AI.
I like the theme, so I’ll try again with a tool girl when I get the chance.
February 18th is “Pliers Day”.
Igarashi Pliers, the only manufacturer of pliers in Japan in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, established the day as a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of p(2) rai(1) ya(8). They wanted people across the country to know about the convenient tool called “pliers”.

A woman in her twenties with short dark hair wears an open black jacket and dark pants.
She holds a pair of pliers in her hand and wears a professional tool belt around her waist.
The belt is black with many pockets and has tools fastened to it.
The tool belt and pockets are a mix of black, gray, and red. The scene is indoors, possibly a trade show or other event, with a large open space.
The floor is light gray concrete. Behind her is a wooden wall or fence with light beige and reddish wood planks.
In the background, metal structures, columns, and a large open space are visible. The lighting is natural and somewhat diffuse, suggesting an indoor space with natural light. The image has a somewhat hyperrealistic aesthetic with an emphasis on detail and accuracy. The woman's features are visible but not overemphasized. Include out-of-focus people in the background to give a sense of a bustling environment.Summary of what day it is today: February 18th
