By myself.

There are people who study and produce art materials.
I could create my works through their works, think this reasonable fact.

A word “create” means that I have nothing what I do all process by myself.

Consciousness and Conception

IMG_6982.jpg

I've been thinking that a personality of an individual consists of the consciousness and conception that the person has.
I'm thinking now about how many percentage of the personality is made of them…

Flying bird

IMG_7078.jpg

Saw a bird flying. The bird sprigged easily when like.
Though immature, I'm jealous of the bird.
I wish I could fly with the wind.

It is the greatest that birds fly without any tools.

What important for me.

IMG_7079.jpg

“You must write about what you did and where you did it.”
When I was in an elementary school, a teacher had commented like this to my writing for summer vacation.
I remind the words, reading this blog again.
After all I haven't almost written about “what and where.”

It's more important what I think this day than what I do or where I go.
I don't mean to say a great thing.
But it's the same as not to do anything and to go anywhere unless I feel nothing.
In some cases, what or where might be important, but for me “what and where” come after “what I think.”

It's not a big problem because I guess the teacher doesn't check this blog.

A half day off

IMG_7089.jpg

A half-day off today.
Read some books piled up at my desk and had a leisurely bath.

After these busy days would pass, I'd like to go on a little trip with my sketchbook and camera.
Yes, I will go for sure.

Still

IMG_6522.jpg

Recently I've found pleasure in painting more than before.
Discovery and progress are the powers to make me “keep painting for several ten years.”
As though the discovery and the progress are little.

Today I failed a piece.
That was because of the lack of my concentration.
However I learned some from this failure.
It was a small thing, but I've got for sure.

I'm still enjoying painting.
That's why I paint.

Positive Energy

PositiveE.jpg

My piece of work named Positive E.
I've got a kind e-mail from one who owns this piece.

To create works based on a theme as positive energy in this world where is filled with negative news.
He appreciated my works, understanding the importance of positive energy. It was so great for me to read his words.

In almost art works, dark and chaotic theme is still the mainstream.
I had tired of those things and broken with those without notice.
Because I've known my chaos is only a little thing. Besides if I had despair of things in this world, I should already have died.
I do not want to express the halfway fog ever after.
So “strong energy” that keeps me alive is more worth being painted than these dark side of this world.

Perhaps there might be someone looks to be “positive” and to have “hopes” as being “reckless.”
Or there might be someone who thinks “darkness” or “chaos” is more thinkable as themes of arts.
But argues about that have nothing to do with me any more.
Whoever says or whatever is said, I insist that “a power stimulates us to live” is the strongest and the most precious of all.

The e-mail showed me that my spirit could be told through my piece.
Every morning he wakes up in San Diego, enjoying seeing this my piece, he says.

I'm so glad.

Position to sleep

I often couldn't sleep without facing the right.
Doubt myself that it's my prejudice and try to sleep in another positions, but I couldn't sleep.

A wonder of a wink

IMG_6491.jpg

Sometimes I'm in a slump and works aren't got ahead.
But I come across a dramatic idea in a matter of seconds.

I wonder what is happening at "the moment" in my brain.
It's a mystery that an idea what don't come from me of a split second before comes to me now.
Or I think there already might "be solutions for all things."
In fact an artist experiences that there really is, unless Platon hadn't advocated the theory of idea.

I've got the right answer.
Sometimes I could feel like that with my heart.

Drawing at a cafe.
It made me refreshed because I've been painting for a while.
Sketch some plants in my neighborhood in a sketchbook.

No & No

IMG_6983.jpg

I have nothing to write at this blog.
In addition, I have no images.

I have nothing, but I'm writing everyday this month.
I knew I've been very busy for solo show in Rome, but the very when I'm busy, I have a lot of things to think.
That is what I thought at the beginning of this month.
And I understand that I'm not always thinking significant things.
Or I might do around the same things, places, and thought.

Show you an image of my surroundings when I have no images.
Look at my paintbrush.

By the way, I said I'm writing everyday this month, but to tell the truth, I skipped one day.
That is what I do, but please praise me. I skipped only one day.

My Best

“Feeling so comfortable at my thirties.”

I often speak like this since my last birthday when I got age of thirty.
Actually I could feel my mind is getting in good condition than before.
I've got a way to enjoy chaos stylishly.

I remember I thought the same as I'm thinking now when I was twenty-two.
“Wow, this year must be my best.”

“You've said so every year” since then, say my friends.

A part of history

IMG_6716.jpg

This is 2008.
Thought while walking around.

This is 2008 of Christian Era, and this era had been created by ancient people long time ago.
That is reasonable, but wonderful.
365 days make one year. And these years have piled up to 2008. It's wonderful.
That means a pile of magnificent days.

The road I'm walking on might have been a road a nameless samurai had walked on.
Or there might have been a place where an extinct spice had once flourished.
I sympathize with a lot of histories ignored and not recorded.

There is a fact that I'm here at this moment as a result of the great pile of days forgotten.
Today, is a part of history for sure.

An old woman in library.

risu08205.jpg

I often see an old woman in library.

She wears the same everyday, puts on the same sandals even in winter.
Bound leaflets whose other side are white are her notebooks.
She always writes down a lot in the papers from books.
Though she stoops with old age, has a powerful energy.
I would have wanted to talk to her, but her mood for study keeps me from approaching her.
She is as if a priest under religious austerities.

She is very concentrating on writing. Write, write, and write.
I'm sure she enjoys studying with a glance.
I'm moved by her attitude and feel as if I would be hit by something.

”Hey me, you should do more.”

By the way, a philosopher in ancient Greece, Aristoteles said.
That “the more things I know, the better I know that I do not know.”
Then I add these words after his words.
“So this world is fresh even when I would be 100 years old.”

The attitude for study of the old woman taught me a lot.

I must take care.

My pieces occupy my mind when I'm working.
The bath overflowed while I was thinking.
I had been run over by a taxi, while thinking.

I'm in a danger at both time when concentrating on a thing or absentminded.
That means I have no guard.

Antonio Gaudi who are famous for Sagurada Familia in Spain.
He was run over and killed by a streetcar, he didn't notice the streetcar while thinking.

I must take care.

Learn myself, when I'm not concentrating.

Story.

IMG_6348444.jpg

Found a toy that I had wanted when I was in elementary school in a shop.
That had been priced 1,000 yen and it had been a big price for me as a child.
I was so excited when I came across it, because it reminds me of my childhood.
It was that I had long for…
The price was not changed.

Now I can buy it.
I'm sure I can, but buying easily rather means a matter for me now.
That is, I feel sorry for “myself of these days who had had been keen on it but couldn't get.”
I couldn't want it with the same energy as I had when I was a child.

Thinking of that, I had “things to be keen on getting” when I was a child.
It was ridiculous for now, but I had wanted the things even if I had sold my soul.
So there had been a story between “the things” and me.

A dinosaur in the image today was a model of Tyrannosaurus I had got when I was a high school student.
It was expensive for me, so I had part time job to get it and color it by myself.
Now remember when I had bought my stereo, and when I had got my mountain bike.
I had used to gaze the catalogs, counting money I had saved.
That had been a time to make a story of the thing and me.

I have no thing to be keen on getting now.
I don't have, but I might be attracted by it if I would go to the shop again.
Buy…or not…

I enjoy spending time so.

Spot for Spark

road0801.jpg

I can draw at everywhere.
But, there is a drawing that I could draw at a particular place for sure.

I often go to a jazz café and there somehow I can make a piece with a comfortable mood.
That is because of jazz music played in the café and the unique atmosphere of the café.
It is enjoyable for me to draw at a lot of places.
For example, I can make some characters that I couldn’t imagine at my room in trains.

And I'm sure there are some spots for spark suit for me.
Thinking of that, I feel like going out to the places.

Laugh in rains

IMG_2542mybike.jpg

When my friend and I ran on bikes, we were caught in the little rain.
But we didn’t care and ran.
Then it was a heavy rain.
Nothing could stop us, said and we ran and ran.
But the rain came down in torrents, and we could no longer listen to each other by the noise of rains.
We were soaked to the skin, and guffaw at each other.

There is sometimes when we do nothing but laugh.
