rainy day

It's raining today.

Tomorrow we have a plan for a picnic.

Please, Mr.Rain, go somewhere you are needed for tomorrow, but not here.

Welcome home!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope you will have a fabulous 2008!!

In Christmas season we made the best sales!! Woohoo!! Thanks to those who brought gangs home! In 2007, we put our products in public for the first time. We weren't sure how 'd go but the reaction was positive and warm. In 2008 we'd like to try something new. Smilerobinson products are no longer available in public at the moment but will be back soon with new goods as well as softies like Robinson!

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!

Trip to Japan part 2

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.
