Biography

Welcome

I spent a lot of time alone
Perhaps that is why I drew
I may lack formal technique or a grasp of perspective,
yet I feel a compelling urge to draw.
It is something abstract in a sense—something that does not exist in reality
In that space, nothing is impossible
It is an amazing world, isn’t it?
Everything
Any imagination can come to life within that blank canvas
What will you paint on the canvas of your life?
Style
Sitting with legs crossed and wearing sunglasses, looking incredibly cool while pretending to be engaged in something serious.
At age six, Ray Charles’s “Shake a Tail Feather” and Captain EO’s “We Are Here to Change the World” got stuck in my head and wouldn’t leave.
When I heard “Johnny B. Goode” at age ten, I decided it was the coolest song in the world.
Ever since then, that’s the kind of music I’ve listened to almost exclusively.
What I usually want to say:
Nothing can knock out authentic food.
You absolutely must exercise.
Everything comes down to education and experience.
