Her Best Buddy


  A fun image made with fancy Japanese washi paper on a big shikishi board. I made this to show at the culture festival day at one of the junior high schools I taught at in Nagasaki. I would later follow this up with three other big illustrations of pretty ladies & cute animals, and call it Animal Friends.

The kitty is none other than my kitty, Magnus! Sadly, a couple months after I made this, my beloved kitty passed on from a kidney problem, so this illustration has taken on extra significance for me. Rest in peace, my little buddy
