Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul….Tokyo to Bronzeville

From Tokyo to Bronzeville…
Jun.. had been writing and sending me dream sketches of her  and Lefty Dizz! Some of these drawings were inspired by trips to Blues clubs where the room was loud and noisy and full of good Blues and good spirits!…And some of the sketches were created from daydreams... and spiritual encounters with Dizz.


Hi Aki,
Happy New Year! 
I was singing some Blues at karaoke ……….

I send you this drawing as the New Year Card. I dreamed that I was with Lefty at the Blues lounge last month and I couldn't stop drawing it, cos it was so moving! He was making everybody happy with his joke.

It says "He sat opposite me and whispered me something. It was so noisy there so I couldn't hear what he was saying, but it was sure that he said something wonderful. It's because he was smiling all the time. He was just like the sun. -- You really really love the Blues, Lefty."

Wish you a year filled with peace, good health and happiness. I really can't wait to meet you!
