Odds and ends

So, I'm back after a VERY long absence.
すごく久しぶりです。

I don't want to spend a lot of time on why I haven't been posting, but I will say that one big reason was that I was battling cancer for most of 2010. ...I guess that's probably a bit shocking, but I've been in remission for the better part of a year.
なんで更新しなかったかは長くなるので今は語らないけど、一つだけ言うならば2010年のほとんどはガンと闘っていました。かなりショッキングなことだけど幸いなことに一年以上たって今も寛解しています。

Also, I moved back to the United States in 2011 and I think now I'm just starting to get back into my normal groove.

そのあと、2011年にアメリカに帰りました。長い時間がたってやっと元の生活のペースを取り戻した。

Despite all that, I haven't stopped drawing (though my output has definitely slowed down here and there).

それでもその間も絵を描くことは諦めなかった (描くペースはのろくなったけど)

Anyway, I won't bore you with my life story...On to the sketches!

僕の話だけでうんざりさせたくないからスケッチを載せます。

I have a lot of catching up to do, so I'll be posting sketches starting from the last time I posted...which was 2009. At the time, I had gone to visit NYC from Japan for the summer. So here are a few more sketches from that sketchbook.

たくさん載せるべき絵があるけれどもとりあえず中断した時 (2009) からの続きです。下の絵は日本からNYCに夏休み旅行に行った時のスケッチです。


More sleeping people on the subway.



Boy standing while on the subway.



Trying to draw with water+ink. (水+インク)



Guy on his cell phone...I think.


This guy probably noticed me...
