pass me a smile Exhibition

July in Sydney cold and lot of raining days.

I am holding hot Bancha tea in my hand to warm the body and the mind.

I am going to have an exhibition in Kinokuniya gallery on 5th of August to 18th August.

I will exhibit 16 pass me a smile's member and now making some more new creature and things.

Reason for book name "pass me a smile"

reason 1

I like movie called "Easy rider" and one of the sound track (music) say

"Don't Bogatt that joint my friend pass it over to me"

(Bogatt mean Hanphrey Bogart who used to always have a cigarette tapped between his lips=form you-tube)

I think praise "pass it over to me" is really cool.

reason 2

Like a "Pass me a salt" we can say "pass me a smile" very naturally almost idiom.

reason 3

If you say "pass me a smile" you already smile, you could not say "pass me a smile" with angry face!

My friend brought this book from Japan. I love Lisa Larson's work and after red this book I impressed a lot of her personality too. This book contain lot's of her works, life, family photos and her interview.

She wrote "Creation as a part of everyday life" and I like this word.

Good sprit can make good things.
