New Year

Cleaned my studio for the new year. 
Now I'm getting ready to paint 29 meters of dragons on a 2 1/2 meter room.  I wonder what will happen.

New Year Cleaning

 I cleaned my studio down to the tatami.

I have to paint 50 meters of dragon.  It is part of my plan for my  Exhibition at the Nakanosawa museum April - June 2013. 

 

The dragons are to go along with my 29 Stops of the Yamanote paintings.  I needed every inch of the tatami to attempt it, and still I will only be able to work on 2 1/2 meters at a time.

 

I picked up materials.  Wish me luck.

Tokyo Geidai Doctoral Exhibition

I did not always agree with Ikuo Hirayama, but he was correct in his opposition to offering a Ph.D. in studio art. Having a Ph.D. in studio art is kind of like having, "Moron," tattooed on one's forehead.
For evidence proving the inverse relation between art and higher education, check out this year's Doctoral Exhibition at Tokyo Geidai, in the far edge of Ueno Park.
