Ookini! EveV

I'm not at all professional, there's so much more for me to learn, but I really do appreciate your words, they're inspiring to me! I'm always happy that people think I am a decent artist, as I try very hard to make good art!

I would say that it will probably be at least three years before I can put out my book, I will be a year before I can leave, and a year of study in Japan. It may just be a photo book, or it may be a novel or a reference piece, it depends how rooted I can get into the Geisha culture.

The Geiko-san, Komomo, just published her book, it's very good, but not much reading material, mainly photos, but none the less, it's a beautiful book. : ) You can probably find it at Barnes and Nobles, it's called, "My Life as A Kyoto Apprentice."
