My summer holiday around east europe

2011-11-05T22:12:00.009+09:00

i was traveling with my friend around east europe this summer. The first country we arrived was Croatia, it was boiling hot super sunny weather and we walked to the holiday hotel but we walked wrong direction... and we were sweating and sweating ...

we stayed Dubrovnik for 3 days. There was beautiful see and old buildings i have never ever seen in my life. we walked Dubrovnik city walls, it was quite long way to walk around the walls every time we walked up the long stairs we said " here is the best view" then after that we found another " best views". Also where we stayed there were some strange colorful Gnomes around the garden. my friend said " what a taste!" but it looked quite funny some kind a way.

Justice

2011-07-19T21:16:00.003+09:00

what is the justice? when you call it, you think you know what is right.

but most of the time it is hard to judge what is right. it depends of the situation and your position. I watched short TV program about Phūlan Devī, she was Bandit Queen and she ended up as a politician. Her life story is lots of hardships. I think i should talk about her next time.

Anyway, after i watched it, it made me wonder what is the justice?

Hundertwasser

2011-07-05T03:22:00.002+09:00

　　　　Recently I found the artist called Hundertwasser. I really like his paintings and buildings. It makes me i want to live the house with plants. I like his philosophy as well.

He quoted "The straight line leads to the downfall of humanity." I agree with it.

If you live in the cities, there are too many straight lines....

In England, lots of people doing charity for japanese people and everytime i see them,
I really appreciate them and people's help!

先週の日曜日にロンドンのPubで、日本の東北地方太平洋沖地震　復興のための
チャリティーイベントをしました。私は、そのお手伝いで行って、何個か作品を販売しました。結構沢山の人達に来ていただき、成功を納めました！今回集めたお金が、少しでも助けになる事を願うのみです。ロンドン、イギリスでは、今色々な所で、日本のためにチャリティーイベントが、行われています。それを見かけるたびに、感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
少しでも早く、過酷な状況にいる人達の生活が、改善される事ますように！

よろこびが集まったよりも
悲しみが集まった方が
しあわせが近いような気がする

強いものが集まったよりも
弱いものが集まった方が
真実に近いような気がする

しあわせが集まったよりも
ふしあわせが集まった方が
愛に近いような気がする

it's one of my favorite poem by Tomihiro Hoshino

Screenprint !

2011-03-20T21:16:00.007+09:00

I went to Screenprint work shop and I did one artwork.

Recently, I wonder what I usually draw? my works tend to be lots of faces.
even sun and moon got a face. I suppose that idea come from animism.
I believe everything have some kind of life or spirit. Often people says plants sing or talk.
when we talk to plants, they grow up faster and they would have fine leaves.

When I was child, my mother often told me that the vegetable is crying, if I didn't eat the vegetable that I hate.

So I like the way to think, everything got life and I feel I should thank for every tiny little rice..

シルクスクリーンのワークショップに行って一日体験をしてきました。
本当は、２色で、レイヤーを作りたかったのだけど、一人一個のデザインとの事で
グラデーションで試してみたら中々いい出来に仕上がって満足！

最近自分の作品は、何を伝えたいのか色々考えてた。
そして私は、よく太陽とか月とかを擬人化して描く事が多いなと思い
その根本的要素は、神道的な考えから来ているのかと思いました。
宗教とか関係なく日本の文化として日本には、昔から自然、物にも魂の様な物が宿る
という考えが少なからずある、残っていると私は、思っています。
昔読んだ絵本にも、もったいないオバケが、食べ物を残した子の所に夜な夜なやってくると
いうのを読んだ記憶があります。

中学生の時に読んだ、たつみや章さんの書かれた本は、神道的な思想があって。
”月神の統べる森で”　では、動物の狩りをして、命を殺めた後に主人公の少年が
木の枝で花を作りお供えしている場面があったはず。記憶があいまいなのですが、
確か時代設定は、太古の日本でした。それを読んだ時、一つ一つの命を大切にする
考えが、素敵だなと思いました。　たつみや章さんの本は、児童書ですが
宮崎駿さんのと近い思想がある気がしました。

この本は、おすすめです。私も内容は、はっきり覚えていないのですが、大人でも色々考えさせられる本だと想います。

Let the butterfly go

So let it go...

combination my drawing and old picture book

2011-03-06T01:56:00.002+09:00

I drew over old picture book, i think it works for the back ground.

Recently, I'm thinking about my new works. I want to make sequence drawings.
It would easy to understand what's going on my drawings (my world)

I can't wait to draw them but I need more ideas...

it's my old one again but i still love this work...

2011-03-05T08:51:00.002+09:00

I did this fort Pyramid scheme article in uni, it is kind if mind control.

this one is lazy upload... not new one.

it's not new one but..

2011-03-03T18:47:00.000+09:00

i tend to draw house. i like their shape and colours.

experimental for today

2011-03-03T03:39:00.003+09:00

i did experimental collage. i need to do something new !

Thank you Desingnnet magazine!

2011-03-01T20:39:00.012+09:00

　　　　　
I was selected to 36 Asian new designer Spotlight for Desingnet Magazine in Korea.

Also I was invited the Spotlight event in December 2010. I could meet many talented
designers in Korea. That's why my art works on the magazine! I was excited when I saw the magazine, also my face is the front cover on the magazine! I felt bit shy because other designer
worked on more project than I do but still I'm glad that I had this opportunity !
and now I got few commission work, good good. Also I still need to make animation. I love making then so, i gotta do it. I need motivate myself ne!

Designnet という、韓国のデザイン雑誌で、アジアの新人デザイナー３６人に選ばれました。
去年の１２月には、そのSpotlightというイベントに招いていただきました。そこで、今活躍しているデザイナーさん達に会う事が出来ました。日本に帰って来て色々なお店にそのデザイナーさん達の商品が並んでいるのを見ました。今は、韓国のpop musicだけではなく　デザイン＆アートも熱くなってきているのですね。ステーショナリー関係の仕事をしている友達も韓国のデザインは、今注目されていると
言っていました。実際、韓国は、アートに関して国から援助金？が出ているみたいで
アートに力をいれている国なのですね。　
そこで、この前友達と話していたのはアートで地域活性化。　細かく言うと今、大型デパートに押されて　衰退している商店街が多々あるのです。そこで、商店街をどう発展またはもっと人が来る様に出来るかという。商店街の中には、すでにつぶれてしまってるお店もあったり。その空いているお店をギャラリー外にして　シャッターにアーティストが絵を描いたり、商店街自体をデコレーションしたら、アート街として人が訪れるのではないか？
という話をこの前していたのですが、実際問題は、商店街の人達との交渉
そこで出る支出だったり、難しい話なのですが、何人かのアーティストやデザイナーなどで
このプロジェクトが実現したら良いなと思っているのですよ。

２６、２７歳までくらいには、実行してたい。最近　川越の日本の昔ながらの町並みをみて、商店街とか昔ながらのものを活かして新しく出来たらいいなと。使い捨ての社会ではなく、物や人を大切に出来る社会を作って行きたいものですね。

when i talk

2011-03-01T02:20:00.002+09:00

2011-02-01T23:25:00.003+09:00

when i went to the design school while ago, we had project that

chose one of the emotion ( anger, sadness, happiness, fun )

one of my friend drew beautiful design then all of the classmates thought

it represent sadness but she told us it was anger.

and She said anger feeling similar with sadness for her.

When I heard that it was new angle for the feeling and i thought she was right.

because when i feel anger i feel sad as well. I think many people get mad

because feeling sad about something.

anyway, how do we know what do we feel?

oh lady

2011-01-31T23:40:00.002+09:00

it's getting busy when i am busy. i had nothing to do when i was bored...

共用品という思想　岩波書店　後藤芳一（著）　星川安之（著）

I did my first illustration job and it' coming out!

I did the book cover for my dad's book and it just published yesterday!

The book is about ideology of accessible design ( design for all).

Firstly, when the editor saw my drawings she wasn't sure my artwork fit the book or not.

because my drawings tend to melancholy . She wanted to put something cheerful and warm

illustration for front cover because the book is quite serious topics.

Then I drew some rough sketches and she liked it then I developed one of them.

when I read the book, I thought it was about people I mean all of us.

How do we improve our life for people who have hurdles in the life.

We don't know that we might lose eye sight one day or lose your legs by accident...

The book made me consider the world bit again.

The important things are people not the substance...

This is about The Accessible Design Foundation of Japan.
