Tezuka Osamu on Manga:
"Manga is Virtual
Manga is Sentimental
Manga is Resistance
Manga is Masterbation
Manga is Bizzare
Manga is Pathos
Manga is Destruction
Manga is Arrogance
Manga is Love
Manga is Kitsch
Manga is Sense of Wonder
Manga is ...
There is no Conclusion Yet."
-from an interview with a newspaper in 1969.
I want that on a shirt. ^_____^
After arriving in San Rafael, went down to Peir 39 and Fisherman's Wharf for dinner (clam chowder! yum!) and then wandered down to Ghirardelli Square for dessert and watch them make chocolate. Not to worry, Ysabet. I'm bringing back souveniers. ~_^
*Wind picks up as we walk down the street*
*Icka! holds skirt down as it threatens to thwap her in the head*
Icka!: Stop it, Skirt! You're supposed to be hide my tentacles!!!
*Little boy walking ahead of the group turns and stares with wide eyes*
Also met the Bushman of San Fran who was quite amusing.
Yesterday was spent at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. They have a Tezuka exibit at the moment, which is where the above quote was found. Spent a while wandering their permanent exibt, where I got into a conversation with one of the security guards. Found a statue of Krishna dancing with a Star of David in the background. It turns out that it's also a common symbol in Krishna, but as a representation of oppisites.
I commented that I didn't have a camera when I started sketching, and he said:
"You have the best camera. You have beautiful eyes, and a warm heart to store all in."
Which is a comment that I thought needed to be shared. *warm fuzzies to artists!* We later got into a discussion about art and how capturing the essance of the moment or emotion is more immportant than getting the anatomy right. (his comment, I just gawked, cause I still don't think my RL sketches are good)
Another good exibit was the Yoshitoshi one. Espeically loved his 'Hundred Ghost Stories' ones, which often were comedic. Such as the ghost making faces to the near-sighted old man, who couldn't see them
Currently spending time with Po'e and the Bratling, whom I haven't seen in years. Bratling is as cute as a button and is a happy child. ^__^ And then we're heading to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Planetarium in a little while, to watch Mati geek out.

You must see it!
They have a "Retarding cabinet". Now that's good times!
Oh, and bread in the shape of...things.

*shifty look* What, it's a hobby not an obsession.

I blame you for the fact my house nearly caught on fire, that line made me drop my ciggerette in laughter (luckily it landed in a desk drawer and not my lap).
