Description
I'm swamped, and a little overloaded... plus my birthday is on wednesday. So I decided to do a little something for myself before my head exploded. This painting will make no sense at all, unless you've read Behind the Mask. And even then it might not make sense since it's not illustrating anything in particular in the book. But since it's for me, it doesn't matter if no one else gets it *beams*Related content

I agree, you get some people who like it just because it's the 'in' thing, but a culture is just so much more than that, and one such as Japan's is beautiful to try and comprehend.
Happy birthday for Wednesday!

*grin* well I'm lazy and didn't draw it as an asian face. And considering the section of the book I was reading while I drew her face (about the west's influence on japan and their reaction to western culture) it kind of makes sense.

Alright, I'm not gonna say that I get it if you have to have read the book. But I'm gonna say that I think I might kinda get the main idea.
And if nothing else, this picture speaks a lot to me anyway, so I'm gonna say that in my eyes, the eyes of one of your beholders, this is a really, really lovely image
I love how you made the clothes.

Personally, I've never read the book, but I think I get it! The colors are beautiful and I really love the concept of the piece. The kimon is simple, but so beautiful! And I love her hair, and the ornaments in it. I love the paint in the background too!
