BLIND FURY !!!!!

I did this Watercolor  painting today of "Zato no Ichi " the blind swordsman Character portrayed by Japanese actor Shintaro Katsu in 26 films.  I was inspired after I spent saturday with my friend Take' we started our day by going to a gallery in Chelsea to see Shigeru Mizuki Watercolor prints. (Mizuki is japanese illustrator famous for his images and stories of Yokai japanese ghosts, he also created  Gegege no Kitaro which happens to be Take's childhood favorite.) Take' and I traveled through the village all day ending up at Union Sq. where i purchased the 26th Zatoichi film on DVD, I think now my inspiration is clear to you all.

Vincent Price

This past weekend was the 1940's Horror theme Art Show @ Reciprocal Skateboards . The Show was organized and ran by Miss Guns, Once again she put together another successful event. I am constantly challenged by Shannon's shows, even though this only being my 4 th  acrylic painting its one of my best pieces over all. Thanks to those who came and thanks again to Shannon and the fellas at Reciprocal Skates.

Shaolin Kitty

This was my submitted painting for the Berkeley Humane Society Charity Art Show. I of course love animals so this was a chance to help out  for a great cause. I think this piece has motivated me to do a mini Graphic Novel based on the monk and kitty's journey.
