If there is one thing that I have learned in Japan, it's the importance of my sketchbook. Rozome pieces do not just appear out of thin air but from careful planing and thought. A good sketch is the foundation of any finished piece without which I would be completely lost. All of the work I made in Japan were the result of small scale drawings that grew into something more.

About Me
- Rushyan Yen
- Everywhere, America, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, The U.K., The Netherlands, Belgium, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, The Gambia
- With a newly acquired studio art degree and a grant from the Thomas J. Watson Foundation, I am ready to explore and experience the world around me though the vehicle of art. As an artist, I will travel to study the different techniques of batik-making and in each country, paint my own designs on cloth. From all corners of my vast canvas will materialize the rich variety of cultures that I find. The meeting and merging of these different designs and patterns is how both my art and I will be transformed.

If you haven't already packed it away, I hope you'll let me look through your sketchbook when I get back to Nara on the 6th.
Hey Ru-shyan, I didn't get a chance to look at your sketchbook the last night you were here. Would you update the picasa gallery with the paintings you did after I left?
