The stuff of dreams...

I had a dream last night (or early this morning) that I was back home in the Philippines. Nothing had changed, and I was sitting in class waiting for my Japanese class to start, scared shitless that I had learned nothing and wouldn't be able to speak.

Hehe. Talk about performance anxiety. :)

In any case, I have an art show coming up this week, (November 17-18) at the Tokyo Big Sight in Odaiba. I'm debuting a new collection of traditional media pieces, all painted whilst I was here, called "Shakespeare is Universal." Anyone in the same country is extended a hearty welcome. :)

Published write-up here:

"This collection juxtaposes classic Shakespearean themes with modern Asian settings and seeks to present both the humor and tragedy that we encounter in every day life. My medium of choice is acrylic on cork, and the pieces range from classic single canvases to sprawling diptychs.

With the exception of North Korea, I have been to each country thematically presented in this collection and hope to visit many more in my day."

Sample piece: "Ophelia in Manila" (Hamlet)
