JUURI Interview Video for Upcoming Solo Show, "Mirage -Maboroshi-" mir
Heeeeaaaaah! Here I am. I haven't died. I've just been
on the brink of death trying to finish everything on time for my solo show which opens this Friday the 13th (I know) at @1614 in Oklahoma City. Everything seems to be on schedule though (ie, everything will be finished mere hours before it needs to be) so I'm happy.
For Once, a Boy Painting: "Indomitable II -Fukutsu-"
I finally finished the first BOY I've drawn in a long time. It was interesting because I felt a different kind of power or excitement to draw him. It was good for a change, though now I'm ready to get back to my gorgeous girls. XD
Here he is from start to finish. His look, theme, and styling are similar to another piece I've done, so I decided to name him "Indomitable II -Fukutsu-" He is mixed media collage on wood, 27x48", so pretty large.
New piece! "Smolder Mist -Kagerou-"
So here's my newest piece, 42x24. I have only a moment to rest... must start on the next, double time! This time I quite like the way I did the non-objective background. I think I might be finally getting the hang of it. What do you think?
Illustration QUEEN! Martine Johanna
I almost knocked over my coffee and ruined my keyboard at work I almost went into a frenzy. She makes me want to bust out the soft pencils and start sketching away! What do you think? I'm gonna "like" her FB page... right NOW! Plus, people, her works I've posted above are just like a tiny smidgen of the range of work she does. I sugoost you check out her site as fast as your fingers can type the url (or click the link.)
Spruced up Studio Space
I decided to clean and spruce up my messy studio because I'm going to have a video shoot there the day after tomorrow. I'll post more about that later. But for now, I just put up some string and clothes-pinned up my fave inspirations (mostly David Choe for now.) Also, I got to finally put up the Ben-Kei hanging that we bought (just like perfect little tourists) in Asakusa in Tokyo.
