“The Dream I Saw Yesterday”
When I was small, I liked to draw pictures. (Although it didn’t take me long to realize my lack of talent.) When I became envious of people who could draw, this is what happened. I’m excited everyday with the anticipation of what dream I will see, and what I can create.

I feel a strong persuasiveness with its unique world of people that it’s not just a whim or coincidental product. His highly developed skills as shown with the collage and artificial coloring, the surface texture finish where you can sense an alluring touch they’re in the realm of craftsmanship. However, all technical capacities don’t necessarily qualify as art. This work can easily be praised for the uniqueness of the surreal world created within that. Daily-life things, Fairy-tale like things, mortal things, these are brought together skillfully with a modern outlook, giving it a strong impact.
