traveling with yoshitomo nara

 i took a little time off from my studio to check out  japanese film festival this week.

i saw three films in total, and my favorite was the documentary " traveling with yoshitomo nara."

an indepth documentary about his passion and his love for art....

so inspiring and moving.....

i gained so much more respect and love for nara's work:)

here's the clip of the film:

grand opening at royal/t!!!

arigato to my friend beau:)

i had a chance to attend the grand opening of royal/t this weekend.

the space exhibits works of artists like, yoshimoto nara, takashi murakami, aya takano, and the list goes on and on.....

not only they had an amazing collection.....

they had an open bar with espresso martini, japanese hors d' oeuvre, and cute girls in maid costume serving those drinks and snacks.......

over all it was an amazing night.

here is the short video clip of the night done by my friend ken tanaka.

奈良さん。。。

古本屋でたまたま見つけた雑誌。

奈良美智さんのインタビューや、生い立ち、そして作品のへの意欲のことについて改まって知る。

一人ぼっちで歩みだす新しい冒険への不安や、孤独な空間や時間の持つ不思議な魅力。

読んでいてすごく実感し励みとなる。

自分自身を知ることの大切さは決して忘れてはいけない。

明日へのやる気が自然と心のなかで生まれてくる。

奈良さん、ありがとう：）

"against the odds" 2008

やりきれなさ。。。。

一日を終えるなかで。。。

満足感をつかめないまま寝る日がある。

一生懸命走っても空回りしてしまうばかり。。。

求めるほど失うもの。。。。。

こういったやりきれなさは後味も悪く残ってしまう。

the big sad

a time away from my studio...

i got to see barry mcgee and clare rojas' new show "the big sad" at riverside museum.

i always enjoyed the line quality of  mcgee...

consistent marks creating  fragile expressions.

i find comfort in his work.

somethings have no need to change.
