The latest piece of the Organism series that I’ve been working on.

A new work focusing on organic elements. A journey into the
world of creation and destruction that is constantly occurring
within and around us.

A recent work that I did with a sunflower theme.
At first, I tried to stick with watercolor, then started pulling
out the other drawing materials. It’s found a new home now!

Recently, my illustration professor from ECU, Joan Mansfield, game me the five day three artwork challenge. After doing a couple of pieces, I kept on going….and can’t seem to stop. Enjoy!

From April 13-16 (the gallery is closed on the 14th), my watercolor students and I will be exhibiting a selection of our work at the Wellness Kouryuu Plaza in Miyakonojyo City.
If you have the time and are in the area, please drop by and check out the work!!!
Hope to see you there!

４月１３－１６日（１４日休館日）、都城市にある、ウェルネス交流プラザで、自分と水彩画の生徒たちとの作品を展示します。よろしければ、是非ご来館、よろしくお願いいたします。展示会で会いましょうね！

I’ve been asked to do an illustration including a tree, so I went down the road and did a quick watercolor of this tree out in the middle of some fields.

木が入ってるイラストを頼まれたなので、ちかくの畑の中央にある木の水彩画を描いた。

The other day, my watercolor class and I did some painting at the local shrine. Even though it’s only about 5 minutes away from my house, it was the first time I’d ever been there. We all had a great day of painting. Here’s my work from the day.

先日、水彩画教室の生徒たちと、地元の神社で絵を描いていた。家から５分しかかからないのに初めて行った。皆頑張って描きました。これは、その日に私が描いた絵。

some recent sketches. It seems the theme of war keeps on popping up in my work lately. I always find it depressing that with so many things in the universe trying to wipe us out of existence, cosmic rays, meteors, supernovas, earthquakes, tsunamis, you name it…we still find the need to add to these with our destructive nature.

This is the latest sketch I’ve done, which I’m thinking about turning into a painting.
もっとも最近描いたデッサンで、絵画にしょうかと思っている。

Last month, I went to Spain for a friend’s wedding. I got there a few days early, and made my way around Barcelona and Figuerres to get some art inspiration. Here’s some sketches from the trip. Enjoy!
