今日は先日と打って変わって、元気げんき。ラカスタのカタログの紙の色が好きだったので、裏表紙をやぶいてジェッソをぬり、その上からペインティング。青とオレンジの組み合わせ、好きだなあ。

In a sunny mood today, thank goodness. I took the back cover of a catalogue just because I liked its color, covered it with gesso and painted over it. I love using the combination of blue and orange.

たまに会う西城さん。今回はずいぶんと減量していて、見違えちゃいました。

Saijo-san is a friend I see every once in a long while. This time he'd lost quite a lot of weight, he looked almost like a different person.

That's how I felt today. It must have been the rain. Or that's almost a full moon. Or the old hag that likes to disguise herself as a little birdie on my shoulder and tell me that butterflies are silly.

今日は気分もブルーです。雨だから?もうすぐ満月だから?
「ちょうちょなんて意味ないもの描いてどうすんの?」ってどこかから聞こえてくる「声」のせいかも。

live show



日曜日に代々木公園で行われていたアースデイ東京に行ってきました。今までほぼ毎年行っていたけど、今年はすごい人でびっくり!!ぎゅうぎゅうでゆっくりお店を見ることがあまりできなかったので、ほとんど一日ステージの前に座ってのんびり日向ぼっこしてました。絵は目の前にいたジーパン姿の男の子。東田トモヒロさんのノリノリのビートを聞きながらがしがし描きました。

Went to Earth Day Tokyo on Sunday. Unlike any of the past years, the place was so packed you could hardly see your way around. So we just plopped ourselves down in front of the main stage and listened to music all day. Got lots of sunshine! A guy in front of me was blocking my view so I decided draw him.

Been trying out a watercolor paint set I'd wanted for a long time and received as a Christmas present. I love the beautiful saturated colors.

前からずっと欲しいと思っていた水彩絵の具をクリスマスにもらいました。やっぱりそんじょそこらの絵の具とは鮮やかさが違うね。

This bird has been appearing in many of my drawings lately. Inspired by the wooden bird Cherry Typhoon, a voluptuous burlesque dancer who models at Dr. Sketchy's events, was holding during her routine as a Hawaiian hula girl.

The last of a beautiful bouquet displayed at Genesis Art Lounge. Something about the weary look of a half-dried flower I find very appealing.

A new friend Yuko came to our Sunday hanami (cherry-blossom viewing) picnic at Shinjuku Gyoen wearing a cool, black-and-red striped kimono.
