This 16x20 inch oil painting was inspired by a night at a secret club in Tokyo, where I attended a music industry party put on by Jon Lynch. They projected old movies on the walls and there was a group of models there in kimono. This was the night I met the band consisting of a bass player and a guy who did ikebana (Japanese flower arranging). They were charging $30 to see their rock opera. I'm not sure what kind of show that would entail, what with bass solos and violent flower arranging going on, but it's definitely something you wouldn't witness twice.

Pecha Kucha at the Urban Hive
We had a successful Pecha Kucha night at the Urban Hive, an office building that provides space to architects and various creative types, giving them a central location to bounce ideas around. Pecha Kucha is organized here in Sacramento by local architect, Claire Obenson. She does a great job and, once again, she asked me if I could be the mc after I had already arrived. Sometimes it's better that way. All of the presenters were well prepared and it showed. I showed the Sophia video featuring a time lapsed painting of West Indian Girl and it was very well received. I brought in the original so people could view the painting afterwards. There are always interesting people there and just about everyone I meet is involved in some kind of creative endeavor and could probably present if they wanted to. Here is a link to our group's site.

Hiatus is Over
Thanks for your patience, everyone. I took a little break from painting but I'm happy to say that I've been painting again and I'm cranking out some pretty good work. I'll take some photos and get them online soon.
I will be premiering my Sophia time lapsed video of the West Indian Girl painting this Friday at the Pecha Kucha event held at The Urban Hive. I'm looking forward to showing it.
