My journey from a technical and strict discipline of forensic and composite art to fine art. I'm trying to unfurl my wings to fly into this new field but I'm still struggling to get out of my cocoon! "To be an artist is to believe in life." -Henry Moore (1898-1986)

An experiment
I wanted to try and do something different. I had been looking at a bunch of Japanese lettering tattoos on the web. I also like the way I was able to work wet on wet with the oils and create a nice texture to the background. I studied the different "Kanji" and decided I loved the look and the meaning of 'yume' or dream in Japanese. I tried to recreate the calligraphy style of the large brush strokes for the kanji 'yume' and then wrote the Hiragana 'yume' in white on top of it. I thought it turned out pretty well. I liked the end result and I've thought of doing another but I have decided which Kanji to render yet. Maybe I'll be inspired by something later.
