I Love to draw when I have free time and always carry my sketchbook when I go traveling.
Here is some new works from my sketchbook.
“Gemini”
I drew this in the car, train, hotel, and etc…and finished when I wan in Japan one day before my sister’s wedding (11/10/13). My nephew, Manato, 8, was watching when I drew and wanted to help to drew the lines of closed eyes, head, and schnoz of boys. I really liked to watch his drawing and glad he likes doing it. Hope we can draw together more.
“Gemini”
7″ x 5.5″ on paper
work by Daisuke Okamoto + Manato
Well done, Manato!!!
1st Collaboration with Manato
Manato wants to draw with me, so we made our first collaboration piece. We did it in the car on our way home from Nagano trip on 11/17/13.
“The Samurai”
I drew this on my way home to LA on airplane from Japan on 11/18/13. I was in Japan for a month (10/19-11/18/13) and this time, I saw a lot of beautiful scenes, cultures and views in Japan and met new cool people that inspired me so much. I started drawing this with no mind, but my inspiration leaded me to draw the samurai. The samurai is very respectable and honorable character for me. I’m glad to be a Japanese with samurai soul.

The Hive Gallery is proud to present:
“Tribute to Ray Harryhausen” show & more!
OPENING: This Saturday,
Oct.5th, 8-11:30 PM
$5 suggested donation
Halloween is one of our favorite months of the year at The Hive, and this month we are celebrating with a tribute to Monster-Making Master Ray Harryhausen. Mr.Harryhausen, who passed away in May of 2013, was a pioneer of the art of Stop Motion Animation- “His most memorable works include the animation on Mighty Joe Young (1949), with his mentor Willis H. O’Brien, which won the Academy Award for special effects; The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), his first color film; and Jason and the Argonauts (1963), featuring a famous sword fight against seven skeleton warriors. His last film was Clash of the Titans (1981), after which he retired”. Hive artists have made amazing, one of a kind works in homage to what many of us consider one of the most inspirational artists in the movie business.

「サイケデリック千万」
今回のテーマはかわいいと猫です。普段、かわいい系はあまり得意な方ではありませんが、今作ではキティーちゃんを入れる事により作品にかわいさを加える事ができたかな。招き猫もかわいいものの一つだね。
今作品は１０月に台湾は台北で行われる「猫」がテーマのアートショウへの出展作品「サイケデリック千万」です。招き猫は千万両の小判をもってお金を招いてますが、このサイケ招き猫はサイケデリックを招いています。
１０月の台湾のショウの事などはまた近くなりましたら報告します。プリントやTシャツもありますので下のリンクもどうぞ。
作業過程 – Work in progress
こちらプリント、T-シャツ、iPhoneなどなどはこちら“Society 6: OKAINA IMAGE”から購入できます。
