Here is some scrawl, please check it. There is a painter from Kyoto who flourished during the mid 1700's. His name is Ito Jakuchu, and he painted a series entitled "Animals and Plants in color"

By creating a series with a consistent theme, he was able to develope and express an aesthetic and philosophical ideal. Natural beauty, heroic dignity, and even greatness within the very small are expressed clearly due to his excellence in brushwork.
I feel keeping a sketchbook allows our subconscious thought currents to become more apparent. Here's a sketch from the past coupla weeks.
Just to finish off this thread, I notice an ideal, or a collection of influences mixing to create the narrative emerging above. They are: comic art, graffiti, and Japanese culture. It is this joining of various art streams that I am so hungry to explore. Hopefully, as technique and skill increase, so shall the clarity of this hip hop renaissance!
