Two Japanese Artists

matsumoto taiyo
Well, first off, I'm back on. I've come across an unsecured wi-fi network where I'm living, so I don't have to update the blog from, like, the library or anything like that ...
So, I've only been "living" in Japan for 2 days now and I don't have too much to report on. But I did come across two neato Japanese artists that I think are worthy of mention.
The first one is Usui Noriko. I can't find anything by her on the net, but I saw a fair amount of her stuff in the newest issue of Relax (which is good, by the way). She's really young, so I hope she'll get big and famous soon ...
Then there is Matsumoto Taiyo, who I've already mentioned for one of his mangas, I think, but I recently saw something unlike anything else he has ever done before. An oil painting. It's really cool ...

Again, I can't seem to find an actual picture of it on the internet ...
