Making God Laugh
When Richard Pryor passed away, I remember seeing all the comedy greats pay tribute with words and memories. After praising his genius, influence and inspiration, many of them said the same thing:
"Richard, go make God laugh."
What a king.

songs for children from ARABAKI
My recent painting Fukushima 50 is featured in the CD artwork for Naninimo Makezu - Songs for children from ARABAKI.
The 2-disc compilation also features cover art by the Great Yoshitomo Nara, with music contributions from Japanese and Canadian artists; including Do Make Say Think, Stars, Ohbijou, Timber Timbre, Sandro Perri, The Happiness Project, Alex Lukashevsky, + many more.
The project is dedicated to the children affected by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Proceeds will benefit schools in the coastal areas of Miyagi, Iwate and Fukushima.
