July 4th

What's up everyone. I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July. I ended up going out to treasure island to enjoy a barbecue and fireworks
with some friends. I ended up leaving my cell phone at home so there was no way for to find my friends house out there, but I said screw it and went anyway. Here are some pics I took in the hour and half before I luckily found one of my friends moving his car!! whew what a day that was.









Too bad it was hard to see any fire works that day because of the fog. The weirdest thing after the fireworks the sky cleared up beautifully. Oh well I still got to eat some great food and have a couple of beers with friends so it was still a great day.

Something for fun!!!

I"ve been working on a fun project for myself. I thought it would be cool to document my paint process for this piece check it out.





Here is the finished product and below is the process!!! enjoy!!!

Japan revisited

Greetings and what's up my amigos! It's been a while since I've posted a new blog so I thought I would share some more of my experience in Japan.
Here are some pics from crazy Tokyo. I've never seen so many signs in one place in my life. The atmosphere was so different than any American city I've been to. I stayed in the area of Asakusa and frequently went to Shibuya which is like the Haight street area of Tokyo.























This is the hostel I stayed in. I really didn't have room to do anything but read and sleep.






I went to Hakone to the onsen( hot springs). Can't be shy here. They give you a towel the size of a wash rag and you must wash your body before you get into the hot springs. Everyone is wearing their birthday suits. It was an interesting experience. I kind of know what it's like to be a life drawing model now.











Lastly, here are some pics of Kyoto, a city to the south of Tokyo. I really liked Kyoto. I saw many temples and I got to visit the old Shogun castle( Nijo Castle). It almost felt like I was in a different time period. Japan was a beautiful and inspiring place. I was sad to go. Next time I go, I hope to see more nature in Japan and less of the city.
