Etcetera etcetera…

It’s the same with making drawings and paintings: don’t be a perfectionist or you’ll never get anything out there. Most of us have a big “imposter syndrome”. Don’t let these fears get in the way of your dreams and ruin your creativity. Relax, and just draw and paint!

I forgot my architect’s mantra:

perfection

perfection

perfection

“right and perfect”!

No! Freedom!

Happy line! Play time!

The book is in French, but I’ve been writing English texts with Pat Southern-Pearce to have a bilingual version. It’s not really a translation. It’s a different text, but about the same subject.

In the book I talk about why I love traveling to Japan so much, I talk about Japan, and I also talk about how the drawings and paintings are done.

Most have been done on site, but some have been redone at home, because the lay out was not good enough for publishing in a book.
