I found something zany on Sugar frosted goodness dot com. Here: Tommy Kane’s Blowfish sketch. The story of his piece is priceless. It begins: I hopped off the train near the Sumo stadium in Tokyo. I wanted to draw something that was very typical looking of Japanese cities. I noticed this little restaurant. I set up shop and began to sketch. (My favorite bit of the story is the coffee part, incidentally.)
I got a kick out of this because I’ve been lost in translation oh so many times in Europe. Enjoy the link-n-log to the arty stuff.
