Artist Highlight: Lynne Yoshii (2012)
You give this woman a pencil, a copic marker and a piece of paper and she’ll make you a masterpiece. Those bold first words are backed up with talent you can appreciate in each drawing Lynne does, her pencils are full of passion and they usually make such a strong stand that it’s impossible to avoid looking at them. She does gives warm feelings looking at her art, maybe is the sultry and kind look she gives to every female she draws or the subtlety of every line she traces. She describes herself as an aspiring comic artist working for a toy company. With talent like this I don’t know why Marvel and DC aren’t breaking this girl’s phone to beg her to work for them!
Japanese Wisteria Tunnel
These photos were taken at the Kawachi Fuji Garden, about a four hour drive from Tokyo, but there are wisteria festivals all over Japan, including at the Kameido-Tenjin Shrine, where tourists in the Edo period often visited the famous wisteria; the Wake Wisteria Park, in Wake-cho, Okayama, and at Ashikaga Flower Park, which has three massive wisteria trellises that extend 3,280 feet squared. (Time Out Tokyo has a list of additional notable wisteria around the city worth visiting.)
