i have to say your paintings are amazingly gorgeous. i absolutely adore them. w00t! w00t! w00t! w00t! w00t!
I am an art student in Canada and for my class we need to find three artists that we wish to incorperate into our style. I was wondering if it were possible if i could print some of your photos for my class? i will of course be puting your name with your work so everyone who sees your work will know it's you.

either way, i can not wait to see more of your beautiful works. (:

Awww thanks that's really sweet! Sure feel free to print them if they will be useful. As long as it's not for commercial purposes it's really not a problem. Could you let me know though which ones you're looking at? :) (Smile) Good luck with art school!

Hi! Before anything else, I would just like to say that you create such breath-taking art! :D (Big Grin) It's not everyday that you come across a sumi-e artist from the Philippines. Wink/Razz

And just so I wouldn't run the risk of sounding like a creepy stalker, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Myra, a graduate student taking up Japanese Studies in Ateneo and I'm conducting research on art and yokai. So you could imagine my excitement when I came across a contemporary artist with works that incorporate yokai elements in her works. Wink/Razz

Anyway, it would be great if we can exchange some e-mails sometime. :D (Big Grin) I' really interested in your works. I can't wait to see more of your creations! :) (Smile)

Thanks so much, Myra! Really nice to hear from someone who is also enthusiastic about yokai and art :) (Smile) I sent you a note for a more detailed email!

I'm putting in these days to learn the technique of Sumi-e you have any advice for me? ^ ^
I use this brush, right?=[link]
Arigatouu!

catherinejao In reply to guidoski [2012-01-11 09:44:42 +0000 UTC]

that's a good brush for sketching and learning the strokes, but I suggest after you get the hang of it, you can also try using the real fude, made of animal hair :D (Big Grin) check out my previous journal entries on some recommendations, particularly this one on Sumi-e basics. :) (Smile) Hope it helps!

Loves your gallery. Hey, are you Chinese or Japanese? because your name is too Chinese for a Japanese :D (Big Grin)
And that two country means a lot to me. China is where my ancestors live and Japan is my favorite country (I wish someday I could live in there with my family)

catherinejao In reply to FrankGo [2011-08-26 07:03:07 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks so much! I`m actually Chinese, but I currently live in Japan :) (Smile) Both countries have their own uniqueness, for sure!
