YUKI’S BLOG

At the first new students’ orientation at SOAS, University of London, along with a pack of sandwich they gave us a disposable camera. I took a few over the past year, inbetween it being completely forgotten. I finally finished the roll and got it developed, and along with tons of party pics and blank frames, it had a few gorgeous images. This is how it looks straight from the negatives. I don’t usually like shades of brown that look overcooked, but it makes it looks like a traditional britsh scenery painting. This is St.George’s gardens, somewhere on my way to school from King’s Cross to Russell Square.

My postcards are on sale at Young Blood Gallery and Boutique (the foremost independent showcase in Atlanta for emerging artists and do-it-yourself crafters) in Atlanta, Georgia. If you are in the area, stop by!

An animation adaptation by Kon Satoshi, of novel written by Tsutsui Yasutaka. The story was okay, but the animations were surreal and fantastic.

I’ve updated the about page with some utterly useless facts about myself.

I’ve also added more prints to the Etsy shop, which I will be closing in September for reasons I will announce in a few weeks..

Big custom prints (21×30cm) are available until then too. Get them while you can!

I am a Buddhist with syncretic animistic belief, and I do believe that art and religion are closely affiliated if not the same thing. I’d really like to study more Buddhist paintings, statues, calligraphy, and Islamic art.

Minami for skins set, where I attempt to take nude photographs focusing on the beauty of the skin and the shape.

(Yes the name is a ripoff from the UK TV series Skins, which I used to watch.)

Looking for models!

My first love and.. epitome of a proper hot Russian artist in my book.

I love Kariyazaki’s flower arrangements, but I can’t understand his blind worshipping of European taste. My favourite was probably the vase.
