I love your work! Such energy in expression and the feeling of Love in alot of your pieces is overwhelming. What you are achieving here is more than pleasure on the eye, you are touching the soul! Not much of that out there! Keep it up forever! I hope it gives you as much pleasure as it gives! Plus, my nephew is Taiyo too!!

Your work is an incredible mix! It's got the bright clean lines that seems somehow manga inspired, a super stylish punky edge and a wonderful realism that lets me relate to every image. Wonderful stuff!
