Back alleys are attractive because it feels like they are leading to somewhere you never expected.

I do love water colors

I use Photoshop and Painter for the digital drawing. But I also do like drawing with ink and water color. I've been finding myself enjoying how the water colors blend each other on the paper I've been using. For a long time, I was in question weather I should go with the digital or traditional medium like water color. But now I have decided to just enjoy the both ways. I am a king of person who believes "the result is everything". At the same time, I also believes the process is important because that is when I find out my passion.

home sweet home

My mind often goes back to the days I spent with my grandmother.

Every summer and winter breaks, I visited my grandmother in Okayama prefecture in Japan. Things doesn't change drastically there besides people are getting older and generation slowly changes.. I live in the States now, but I realize every corner, every street, every experience I have, somehow, cannot help but related to the time I spent in Okayama. The more I spent time in the States, the more I notice part of my life in Japan is the core of who I am.
