My daughter got into painting her first watercolor yesterday, two handed! One brush isn’t enough. She was so absorbed in it, she was at it almost half an hour. So great to see her try every color available and figuring out dipping brushes into water.

I saw a compelling theater/butoh performance last night “The crazy cloud collection” by InkBoat. Here’s my squiggles in the dark from the night.

My good friends Dice Tsutsumi, Soosa Kim and Lou Romano have a fantastic art show coming up and its opening is this friday at gallery 1988 in SF. I’m very much looking forward to it … be sure to check some of the amazing pieces that will be on display here on the exhibition’s blog.

Remember the exibition Tadahiro, Ronnie and I had at Galerie Arludik in Paris this past february? Here’s a little video interview from that night that finally found its way online. Some photos here too. Boy is it hard to watch and listen to yourself. Ah well …
