Juxtapoz artist profile
exciting!
If you pick up this month’s issue of Juxtapoz (#103), you can find a little artist profile about me.
Here’s my little blurb, which was kind of agonizing to write because that sort of thing makes me nervous:
“Maybe it’s my daily caffeine intake or I was just born like this, but I think about things a lot.
My mind buzzes with a million thoughts, stuff like love, taxes, or lunch,sometimes to the point of incapacitation. Art is a kind of meditation for me, where I take all that chaos and distill it into images.
When I’ve got a pencil and paper, it’s one of the few places where I feel I can calm my brain and heart.
Even though I draw weird monsters and such, I feel like my works are deeply personal, even embarrassingly so. I’m always happy to learn that viewers find something in an image that they can connect with, even if a piece might be obscurely personal.
I hope it speaks to something universal for everyone.”
Good show, old bean.
Little known fact, Love, Taxes and Lunch was J.D. Salinger’s original title for Catcher in the Rye.
If I ever get on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire , you’re my life-line.
WoooooWWWW!!! That’s exciting!!!
how exciting? 4 extra “o’s” and 4 extra capital “W’s” exciting.
Thanks Yuta
