Bridley, a tin bird, was born as a symbol of time while drawing many old toys. He can’t fly no matter how much he winds the spring, but he is good at jumping. Until the spring gets rusty and stops working. Kenji Shimizu HP http://www.kenji-shimizu.com/indexpage.html

Hiroki Kishimoto (b. 1982) has developed his own unique world of Japanese-style painting, which is not too much bound by the framework of Japanese-style painting, but also adds the realism of Western-style painting. Since his grandfather was a Japanese painter in the Seiryusha (a Showa-era Japanese painting organization formed in 1929 by Ryuko Kawabata, a Japanese painter), painting with Japanese painting materials from his childhood was a fun and playful time for him, and he naturally became attracted to the world of painting.
