Master of the Universe
i am bombastic
(via leiron)
Every face of Audrey Kawasaki’s work, although she claims are the same, is different to me. I fell in love with each face she drew. I started following her when I saw her geisha illustration.
i appreciate criticism. and i can understand how viewers can get bored. which is fine.
i cant please everyone. and it would be a shame if that was my sole purpose.
i have my reasons. my search. my process.
and i admit. it is stubbornly single-minded. but that is my drive and aim to all this.
all the girls i paint, is one girl. she is in my mind always. and nothing will stray from that.
series poster // audrey kawasaki
work of artist audrey kawasaki presented in a composed series poster.
You know, there’s having a style, and then there’s being completely boring. This girl has style while being a total bore. I would never go out of my way to look at her work in a gallery. If you’ve seen one piece by her, you’ve seen them all. She’s like the Owl City of art.
↑ so true
I don’t completely agree with the above, but some of it is true for most people. I do love Audrey Kawasaki, she’s the best. And I know she follows me so I am reblogging this hoping she sees it, not so that she gets hurt but that she sees it as a constructive critique, to try a few new things. To me and to many others what she does is just fine, but I know there’s plenty of people out there that think like above and maybe we should understand their point and take it like an opportunity to grow :)
I love Audrey Kawasaki’s work!

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
The questions raised:
*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?*Do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing?
I think I posted this before, but the conclusion included here, and the last line (most probably not included in the original post I did), just caught me.
how many other things are we missing?
