Artist's Comments

This was created for my Photography project, which was based on my process of a painting. I took photographs of things I would normally incorporate into a composition. So yes, all of the things you see on the canvas are things I've taken from pictures I took. I'm very happy with the result because it's 100% original.

A huge thanks to my friend, T.H., the guy on the left who put up with my weird request to model for my project. I really owe him for the success of the project and satisfaction of this piece.

The title is a bit of a play on English and Japanese words. Don't worry, it's not super important to know the meaning.

16x20 Canvas
Media: Acrylic, Sharpie, white-out pen, watercolors, Copic Multiliners, Sakura Microns, bristol paper, colored tissue paper, rice paper, grayscale brush pens, newspaper.

Oh, I didn't know there was such a word as akisame. I only knew about Harusame^^ But seriously, this is awesome. It looks very polished and well-planned, it could be an illustration in a magazine or for an ad! I really like the word-rain, btw, very creative!
:iconkuroiryu:
Aha! Someone understood it. That makes me happy. XD I only knew about, "harusame" too, but then I thought, "...Maybe there's an akisame??" And indeed, I found it in the dictionary.

Thank you very much for the comment! The word-rain was actually not preconceived... I originally just had random newspaper cut-outs, but I didn't like it. So for photo-taking, I went to a store to find some inspiration and saw some curtain design that had geometric weather representations. Hahaha.

Thank you so much! : D I am so happy to hear that you like it! This will definitely be a portfolio piece.

This is one of my favorite things you've done now. I love all the textures and the word rain and the fishes swimming in the blue. This project feels very well thought out.
:iconkuroiryu:
Thank you! It wasn't too well thought out, but it turned out better than I had even planned, so woo hoo! I'm glad you really like this piece!
