It's always fun to start something new on a new client. This piece will become a koi and chrysanthemum halfsleeve.

Today my brother came by the studio and wanted to get a Shishi(Fudog) on his right foot. Not quite done yet but it will soon be.

Even though the leafs are falling down, making trees look naked and sad. I can feel warmth through selfgrowth. Always trying to become better and better. Like a snail setting set on mt.Fuji it will surely get there.

Due to recent happenings i have not been able to write as much as i would've. But change is on it's way.

long slow spring days,
one following another.
the past recedes so!

/Buson

Over the dead grass
heat waves shimmer
just an inch or two

/Basho

These purple grapes-

so dark they're

almost black!
