Well, that was moderately awesome.

Been kind of shut-in for the past few days, packing and sorting and doing paperwork as usual. But today my studio director was called in for a last-minute sumi-e demo at this museum exhibit of Japanese wood-block prints, and she called me in to play backup on origami. I picked up two books and a basketful of random paperwork I had scattered about, pulled together a Kawasaki rose, and went! Twenty minutes' prep and I was folding a rosebud and chattering away about geometry and organic forms in front of ten or fifteen people.

It IS nice to know I can still do that, just on-demand. I got out and met people and went through the print collection afterward - there were some really fantastic works in there. I was really captivated by one 1935 print that had a Japanese castle done in Western perspective through bunches of sakura rendered in Impressionistic style. Oh Japan, you do cultural absorption well.

coolness :) and sorry again for the ridiculous wake-up...my head was spinning and a bit tired from the movie and the day...it feels like i just sat through two movies, but both were darn good!
