started painting the gelbison cover last night. theres too much white in his jacket but will be able to finish before work tomorrow. have exactly one week left in japan. so bizarre. such a full on thing has made me think about so much. reading murakami right now - was hard to get into - i actually put it down after 10 pages cause it seemed too scattered but edo reminded me of a part where the main character has to leave his shadow with the gatekeeper so i picked it up again and now i dont want to put it down. deejaying this saturday at liquid polka 4 in kinshicho. have some cool new tracks to play - will be awesome. i want to try and knock some images out for the cd cover tonite - im wondering what tatsumi has done for it if he has had time to have a crack at it. i want to meet murakami - maybe i'll go see him on sunday.
gelbison cover is starting to get somewhere. has been an interesting project so far. doing cut outs today for the san fran show. its only a few weeks away. i cant believe im leaving. im gonna miss japan. this morning i went out to get some breakfast and there was a local bon festival happening. photos here are from the start of the festival - i guess theyre just warming up. every block has its own little parade to which they will culminate in the main street near the shrine later today. very hot today and theyre all throwing water on each other to cool down.
left a daschund follows the parade.
new street lamps
have resigned from my job. it all seems a lot more free. looking forward to going to the states. watching this strange cowboy film - blueberry.
going to see peaches tonite at la fabrique. should be cool. took these shots last night at kinshi park.
