Ones that Never Left

Do you remember a time when you had the chance to see all your close friends everyday? How about in the summertime when you would ride your bikes together? To pursue my art, I left all this behind. And it kinda' sucked. There are times when I would dream that I bumped into my Maui freinds in California. They would be like, "oh, yea, we thought of surprising you. We just moved right down the street." I would laugh, shake hands, give hugs, and help them move in their boxes. The next morning I think of how awesome that would have been. This piece, although depicts Chief and Takehara are also dedicated to the original Maui crew: Boss, Uehi (AKA: Stumps), Skylar, & Yoshi.

Listening to the Whispers

This is my Grandpa. It happened to me more frequently in the past, but I dreamt about him. Not so sure what that dream meant. All I know is that I miss him allot. Wish you were here when I need you most.

Back into the New Year!

Well it's 2007 and things have been pretty hectic at the office. I'm always flattered to get work but it's not good for the blog. Sorry ol' friend. Enjoy this pick. She fell out from a story a friend from Tokyo told me over vacation. In this story, my friend was just about o sleep when he was approached by a vague image of a woman floating 2 FT above him. This continuously happened every night. Deprived of sleep, he was afraid he was going crazy until his wife noticed that he threw away some altar offerings left behind by the previous owners. In no time he was elbow deep in trash frantically searching for the altar offerings he discarded. It was eventually found. The next day he went to the shrine to leave the altar offerings behind and has since been snoozing comfortably.
