A new exhibition traces the remarkable variety of locations Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) portrayed, from cherry trees and gardens to pleasure boats in the Ryōgoku district of Edo to sweeping views of iconic Mt. Fuji.

Need a nice lock screen image for your #Boox Go E-Reader or other eInk with similar resolution?
This is the one I created for mine yesterday. Loving #woodblock prints for these devices. I need to create a collection of the most famous ones

Some of my octopus art to celebrate the cephalopods this World Octopus Day! Most recently I made the dumbo octopus, a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The fins reminded scientists of ears on the elephant in Disney’s 1941 film Dumbo. Hence their common name dumbo octopuses.

Veils of mist drift by
Playing peek-a-boo with me
Shy sunlight breaks through.
