IN THE CROSSWALK

18″ x 24″ Aerosol on Oak Tag

 

Here’s a fact:  Shibuya Crossing in Japan is the busiest crosswalk in the entire world.  It has been estimated that 2.4 million people use it everyday.  Another fact:  I’ve used it a few times too.  When Nicole and I were teaching in Japan we would take the train into Tokyo on the weekend to walk around and hangout.  It was so busy.  People flying around in every direction.  Being in that intersection would be the death of a claustrophobic person.  I know it might sound strange, but if you ever go to Japan you’ve got to go to Shibuya just to cross the street.  Oh, and the sushi and ramen noodle houses are great too.  Kanpai!!!

KIMONO GIRLS

14″ x 28″ Vinyl on Wood

We went to a peace rally once when we were in Japan.  There were these columns set up with paper wrapped around them and markers for people to draw and write their thoughts on peace.  I snapped this picture of two ladies in kimonos at one of the drawing stations.  Now they have become part of a different movement.
