With rare exceptions, my art consists of the brine and filth to emerge from an alarmingly Japanophile mindset. I welcome those similar, with hope that we may collectively avoid the inevitable trivialization of an entire culture; a culture with more counter examples to stereotypes and simplifications than I have ever seen in my lengthy, enlightened worldwide travels.
And so, as you browse between each crudely drawn image, remember that my intent is ne'er to shrink in the shade of the "otaku" crowd, nor is it to reinvent the overarching tones and trends of the modern anime style. With this in mind, I hope you find my work acceptable and my humble abode amiable.
Remember your place,
Remove your shoes,
Respect variety and difference,
And restrain yourselves from malicious activity.
Cheers.
