Back to the Beginning / 元に戻ろう。

I know I won't have much time to draw or paint once I start learning bamboo crafts in April at the Beppu Occupational School, and I realize it's a bit late in the game to start a blog about my drawing and painting activities, but I do want at least friends and family to see my most recent work of the last half-year, at the same time that I want others who are more interested in my bamboo craft endeavors to have an opportunity to see what kind of artistic background I have.
That said, I'm going to go back to the point in time where I moved to Oita prefecture after college graduation in the fall of 2006, and post my drawings and paintings in chronological order (or backward chronological order if you're starting from the top of the blog).

私が大分県竹工芸・訓練支援センターに入ることになったということで、2009年4月から絵を描く時間がほとんどなくなることは分かっているけれど、最近の絵を見せたいですし、そして見せるなら、最近の絵だけではなくて、大分県に引っ越してきた時点から順番に見せたい気持ちがある。(大学の絵もあるけど、あまりにも多いのでここでは見ません。)僕はこれから竹工芸に熱中することになると思うけど、僕はどういう美術の世界から来ているか、興味のある人にはお見せしたい。僕の竹細工への取り組みは、今まで培ってきた美意識に無意識的にも影響されるだろうから、客観的な立場に立っている他の人こそ、目で観てその関係がお分かりになると思う。まあ、個性的で自由な竹細工が作れるようになるには相当時間かかるので、そんなに関係はないかもしれないけど、そういうことで、ご関心あれば、どうぞご覧ください。
