He is a cuddly bear, Kuma-taro (bear boy) Eddy. He likes to play hide and seek!




And colorful lions!

You can see them at Beehives Gallery!

Happy birthday, Mr. Christ

I have been fascinated by western culture in past 10 years. But since I made some ends in my heart during holiday in Japan (Say good bye to old me), my interest is more towards Asian modern culture, songs, movies, foods...
I hum Taiwanese songs which I don't understand the meaning of words.This is something what I would have never thought of two months ago.
I want something I can't have so easily. I'm not satisfied with what I have now. I'm greedy in my head. I always feel something missing in life.
Hungry spirit if you wanna call.
I'm always thinking of originality but copies can be made so easily.
With so many numbers of products in the world. I don't know what 'original' is anymore.
JUST GO FORWARD. Christmas won't wait.
My recent favorite book is called 'NARA NOTE' by Yoshitomo Nara. He is one of well-known Japanese artists in the world. Reading books written by artist gives me inspiration.
If you make enough effort toward your goal, it will bring you results. No matter what the result is, the important thing is how you feel and accept it.
Basically I believe, even if we pretend to be something, if we can become them in the end, that's OK. That means we are real something.
It is very wonderful to have the ability that can express oneself as a depicter.
But I feel a limit in my English. I can't express myself enough. It is irritating.
Remember language is not a matter. Feel your heart.

On a sunny day

It's a sunny Spring day.

3 bears take a break under shade.

'What shall we do next?' (giggling)
'Hide and seek?'
They smile each other cheekily.













Quiet Saturday afternoon.

Spring has come.

Time has passed so quickly. It's already September, SPRING!

Now we are making a lot of friends for our Christmas sales in Beehives gallery. They will be in store this month for sure!

Robinson made another trip last month. This time he went to Japan. It will be up soon!

The next day Robinson was on a train to Hakodate, Hokkaido.




After a long tunnel on Hokkaido side.





Hakodate Station.





'I love towers!', said Robinson @ Goryokaku.








'Looks like a star!'



Robinson made a friend with a local girl.



'I collected all stamps! Yay!'



'Next is Sapporo!'



@ Sapporo Art park



'What is that!?'



'Konnichiwa, Duck san!'

Robinson was inspired by lots of new talents and arts there.



At night Robinson visited TV tower in the center of Sapporo.



Clock tower is a must to visit in Sapporo.



From a ferris wheel.

'Robinson!? My department store!?!?', Robinson was surprised.



'I'm thirsty. But this glass is too high!!'



On the last day in Sapporo.
'It was great fun! I'll come back one day.'



Robinson spent his time in Aomori till the last day.
'Can you see Buddha over there???'



'Beach looks different from Sydney...'





'Tomorrow I have to go back. It was great trip!', Robinson deeply impressed scenery on eyes.

At night he joined Nebuta festival.





Nebura lit the small town. People all over the world gathered in one place for Nebuta. There were so may happy faces along the festival. The music went on and danced like crazy. Excitement of the city didn't cool down till late night.

Next day Robinson visited Aspam again.





'Wow, under daylights floats look different from the one with light on at night...'
Robinson went close and look at floats in every angles.



Sunset.

To be continued ...

Inner west courier

G'day! Let me tell you our Robinson was on paper this week! No he wasn't arrested, nor caught with his mischief. He looks like a promotional manager at Beehives gallery. Woohoo!!

rabbie on the beach

This is Rabbie, a pink rabbit. Yesterday we went to Bondi beach. Yes THE Bondi. It was such beautiful weather. We made a sand mountain. Water was cold but many people enjoyed swimming.

After we enjoyed beach, we went for drinks.

Robinson in Campsie

Robinson went for lunch to Campsie, a little so-called Asian town in inner Sydney. He had a lunch meeting with his friends.











'What can I have today?', wondered Robinson. Sunny weather made him sleepy.











On a train he remembered that he skipped breakfast this morning... he was getting hungry and hungry... All he thought of was food. ... ... ...

... Robinson, what are you doing?















Naughty Robinsonl! Can you eat lunch????

"Yes, I can!", replied Robinson with his mouth filled with snacks.

Soon after we arrived Campsie. The first thing he saw was Korean sign.

'I can't read!', said Robinson. (+_+)

Then his friends picked him up and they went to Korean restaurant.



'I'm thirsty. Can I drink it?', smiled Robinson cheekily. His friends gave him a glass of orange juice.

A bird and musical sand

On my way home from work, I found white birds flying over my head. They were white lorikeets! They are common birds in Australia but I have seen them only in a cage in a pet shop before. It was impressive!












Summer has already left Sydney but one sunny Saturday afternoon, me and my friend went to beach. It was really beautiful weather and many people enjoyed swimming.

One girl came to us and greet in Japanese. It was cute surprise. She was from Adelaide, WA and told us she had a friend who's Japanese so studied Japanese ever since. Having friends from another countries is a great start to study language and from the language, people start learning more about the country where friends come from. I hope she will enjoy studying!

After saying good-bye to the girl. We started walking on the beach. Then we found that some part of sand on the beach made sound every time we made steps. So we jumped around the areas as if we played some instruments. What a fun it was!
