My Identity “I don’t care about race!"

When I paint or draw, I try to not show their race or nationalities because I want to express is inside of human in my art.

I'm interested in personalities of people and what we related to.

Just like when I talk to people, I often forget about their race, nationalities, genders, ages, culture back grounds and so on.

Most of time, I care about their personalities, but depending on the topic to talk about, I respect their race, nationalities, genders, ages, or culture back grounds.

I have painted or drawn Japanese on purpose because I thought it was interesting and fanny.

When I get to know about people, I am more interested in things that are not written on our passports, resume or some types of paper work, and that I want to express in may art.

I also made a video called "My Identity / I don’t care about race!"
Please watch if you are interested.

What I don’t think while I paint.

Process to make art and marketing for selling my work are two different things.

I try not to think what people think about my art while I paint.

(There are many types of artists, and each of us have different ways and opinions.
What I am going to say now is just my own idea.)

For marketing, I think it is very important to consider if I will able to sell, what types of people will be interested in, or things like that.

However for creating art, though thoughts are just destruction for me.

For creating art, I need to express myself.
I can't care about anyone's judgement to create good pieces.
So, I try not think about costumers even he or she oder the custom work.

However, when I get order, I usually ask people what their favorite colors, motif and stuff like that.
And, try to create the best artwork for them in my own style, but while I create, I try to focus on my art world.

I always love to see people enjoy my art and be happy!!😊


I also made a video "What I don’t think while I paint. / The beat way to make good art."
Please watch if you are interested.

Daily Life Motifs

Sometimes, I wonder what should draw or paint.

But, there are so many motifs in our daily life.

Today, I draw breakfast eggs, but eggs were just beginning. 

After drewing eggs, I came up next ideas more and more!!

I got a small note pad with 23 sheets.

And I will be drawing one page a day for 23 days.

The motifs will be someting in my daily life.

I will make videos of that and am updating on my You Tube channel.

So far, I made one!

Please watch if you are interested.

I began to enjoy making videos lately!!

Thank you for reading my blog!😉

4 of My Slumps

I have been paintingfor long time, and I have been in so many different condition to no able to paint very well in my artist life.

I made a You Tube video about my slumps, and how I got out of them.
(The video is below.)

I picked 4 of my slumps here.

1. About 10 years between my 20's to 30's.
   ( I care too much about what people think about my works.)
    How I get over: I just painted and just forcus on how I want painting to be.

2. After the big earthquake about 10 years ago.
   (I didn't feel like making any art.)
    How I get over: I started something easy to work with.

3. The story about 8 years ago.
   (I got tired of painting or drawing object.)
    How I get over: I tried different technique to make art.)

4. My emotions were not stable about 5 years ago.
   (My works were so messy and I didn't like what I made.)
    How I get over: I kept making art. Now I enjoy the pieces I made at that time.

In the video, I show my artworks to talk about my slumps.

It's about 9 mins.
