This German cake is very popular in Japan. I got surprised to know lots of people in the U.S. and Europe didn't know Baumkuchen when I posted this sketch in WetCanvas!. Sketched this on the 10th of July, 2007.
I bought a bottle of milk in Shirakawa village, Gifu prefecture and sketched the empty bottle after getting back home. Red lettering says "Hida Gyuunyuu (Hida Milk)" and "You-reizou (Keep chilled)". Transparent object is always exciting to paint. 16th July, 2007.
I am a big fan of Michel Camilo. :) I went to the live concert here in Nagoya, Japan and requested his autograph on his latest album. This is it. :) I sketched this cd right after the concert, 27th of June, 2007.
