Post #14: Sweet Love Drawing

The found object I chose was this anime drawing of a man and a woman. I believe it is a reference to the well-known anime Sailor Moon. The names Usagi and Mamoru ring a bell in my head, and the girl's Japanese school outfit reminded me of Sailor Moon. I chose this object because of the very detailed drawing and the short and sweet words that accompany it. I could imagine how the artist felt when they lost this note, and I felt a bit sad, as I could feel his pain. It created some nostalgia to me because I remembered drawing a picture in this style for my mother on Mother's Day, and she still has it today. I could tell the man who drew this was in love with the girl he drew it for.  

Post #11/12: Chiho Aoshima

The image above is one of Japanese artist Chiho Aoshima's most well known artworks. Chiho was born  1974 in Tokyo,Japan. She is considered to be a very good artist in Japan. Her artworks have been showcased in many places outside of her home country. She is considered postmodern because of her painting style. Some may say her art is weird, and others may consider it to be works of beauty. 

Post 13: Nostalgia!

The image above is of a white 1993 Mercury Cougar. It's almost the same as the one my grandmother owns, but hers looks better. It brings nostalgia to me because it has been in my family longer than I have myself. It was the first car I drove, when I was apparently only a young child. I love everything about the car, and it will soon be mine when I'm old enough to drive it.
