Hi all.
My pageviews have rolled over 10,000 recently (when did THAT happen??) and I wanted to say thankz to all you little kiwis for that.

Here's what's shaking in my art land:

Nihon no Tenshi
A series of angel spirits, each personified by a kanji and a number, from 0 to an as-yet unspecified number. As for colors, I will probably do 'em. Currently not working on a new drawing.

One-page Comics
About my life in Japan and other navel-gazing.
"So it's true but not funny, that's what you're saying?" --eddie izzard

MALFORMA
After a sad hiatus, these seem to be returning to life. I am carrying the book around again and have the urge to draw in it. More MALFORMA are being sparked and I found myself able to finish one quickly (in two days) as I used to. Hooray! As for colors, I will also probably do 'em. I'm liking the idea of coloring these.

Deep-fried rendered digital paintings
I have two drawings that I intend to render up with light source and all that jazz, but haven't started. They are the Deer God and Cat God in my "scraps" section.

Traditional painting
This is the exciting part. I got some paints that said "acrylic color" only to find to my astonishment that they're actually jars of gouache, totally matte opaque watercolors with brilliant dye, for the low low price of a dollar a jar. Man I'm not even kidding. I have experience with watercolor so this was quite a trip for me. You can see my first experiment in the painting "Give and Receive".
I've been looking at Amano art after recently seeing an exhibition of his, in which I discovered his secrets--big paper, gestural pencil lines, and globs of watered acrylic for color. It's so do-able!!

White Eye Productions
Expect some new stuff out of this. I'm starting some books involving old folk legends and obscure fairy tales, the ones people have forgotten...and a few stories of my own. Keep yer eyes peeled.

Sadly, no, but it was a great show. It's funny how at points he'd have his "Izzard moments" where he'd start to rant like he was doing one of his stand up routines. It was great.

Yeah, I saw the second episode and the third, I believe (I had a crazy work schedule at the time) and I really liked what I saw! But it wasn't too popular, was it? ;(

~koshii:iconkoshii: Dec 12, 2007, 9:46:39 PM
OIII!
It's really a lot of fun so far, it's just like home but with less hamburgers. The sandwiches are really delicious and I'm picking up more Japanese every day but I really need some kind of study program...-_-;;
The sushi is incredible here! But even the everyday snacks are new & different and a lot of fun.. I really like matcha chocolate now.. XD
I'm really jonesin for a scanner so I can scan in all these drawings I've been doing! I've had to take pics with my phone camera and it's not very good at all O_O dude
I wish you'd come and visit, it's SO cool here!

Oh believe me, my sister, my best friend and I quote the Izzard back and forth to one another like his word is the word of Jesus... Which it essentially is :D

Have you watched The Riches before?

OIIIIIIIIIIIII V-sama how is it in Nihon?!?! I can only imagine the fast trains, the small people and fun food! Discovered anything that has become your favorite? Ramen? I bet the sushi is so good there. I love your art lately. For Christmas I should be getting a Drafting desk!! I enjoy my scribbles (you know) this way i can feel like i will do some better work. I found some old pics I drew of Ayumie from a couple of years ago! Ahh, wish we were closer so we could both freak out about Diru or something. Still love it all <3
