This is a shakuhachi inspired painting by the fabulous Bette Alexander. See her work here. http://bettealexander.com/. She’s a fellow student of Ralph Samuelson. It also captures my mood right now as I recently lost my cellphone. I feel a little “in the dark”. Contact me via email until March 9th, when I can upgrade to a new plan without an exorbitant switch fee.

The series is quite beautiful. You have see see art in person, much in the same way you have to hear shakuhachi live.

My workshop this week. Lots of urushi work ahead. Repairs requiring urushi lacquer takes longer mostly due to the curing time required.

Took the kids to see some video art in Soho last weekend. They both agree that art making, regardless of medium, is fun stuff!

Have you seen Sasa’s film?

If you loose you cell, don’t worry. There was life once before
