September 6th - 27th

I've seen some stellar art from other people going up there (as usual of course!) and it's really shaping up to be a great event.

Here's a film clip from the Stanley Kubrick film I chose - a very early one called "The Killer's Kiss"

Tech Skins via Nuvango / Gelaskins

The great people at Nuvango (formerly Gelaskins) asked me if I'd be interested in putting my artwork on some techie merchandise, and I was happy to join.

They sent me the samples, which look FANTASTIC - and if you are interested you can find these products here: http://nuvango.com/veronicafish

Thanks, Nuvango!

Memories of Japan: the walk to Taiko

The taiko class I took last year.

They even gave me signed bachi sticks!!

I walked 2 miles to get to this class, my feet bloodied from wearing the wrong shoes, the instruction only given in Japanese, trying to keep up with 8 year olds -

but man, this experience changed my life.

I mean really, playing Kagura Wadaiko is a passion now.

The teacher was kind enough to even give me a shakuhachi flute and an instructional DVD!  So I can practice at home!!

Here are some low-quality shots from the long walk to the night class.

去年お太鼓従業を試して、すごく感度してしまったよ。

そのクラスは私にとって大切な事になった。ご家族に丁寧な教えてくれて、サインした撥ももらった！

一方２マイルを歩いてかかれたし、足が血塗れたし（ブーツのせいで）日本語しか受け取れなかったし、他の生徒はとても上手な８歳子供いたし、。。。　最高経験！！　

星座風太鼓DVDと尺八をくれた。本当に感動したよ！　いい機会だった

歩きながら写真を撮った　（ちょっとNG）

Guardians of the Galaxy / Thanos art

OH. WOW.

SO.

GOOD.

Here is a commissioned piece of Thanos I did a long time ago, I don't think I've ever posted it before.  Wasn't his design in the film so awesome???  It was spot on with the comics!!

yeah, this piece is really not very good - it's amazing to see how you progress as an artist over time.  Sometimes I hesitate to show sub-par work, but why worry about that stuff, right?  It's good for me to see the growth.

Josh Brolin did a really great job in the film, too - wish he was playing Batman!
