Art Changes Student Exhibition, 5/2024

Last year, I was honored to submit a video discussing my Lion Dance series of artworks for City of Alameda Art Education Foundation. The Foundation provides art education and programs to Alameda students. The organizers also use the submitted videos to inspire students to create art in their own style.

This month, the art inspired by my video will be exhibited at the Art Changes Student Exhibition at Rhythmix Cultural Works, 2513 Blanding Avenue, Alameda. The opening reception is Saturday, May 4, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Stop in and say "hello" if you're in town.

Sketches: Asian Art Museum SF - Samurai armor, 4/2024

While visiting the SF Asian Art Museum this weekend, I stopped at the Japanese collection to inspect the five-plate Yukinoshita samurai armor. I've been watching the new Shogun series on Hulu and it's fantastic that we can see the real armor at the AAM.

It's a combination of craftsmanship and combat.
