Description

ok...here we go ..Im not sure if anyone really reads Artist's comments but i wanted to explain a few things.

fist off please forgive the poor photography these were taken with a web cam and i had to make some funny contortions to get them uploaded

This is my first time staining and i was not sure to make it all the even coat or not im mostly a painter or i try to be so I used the stain like a paint making some areas lighter then others. you can still see the wood grain and so i like the effect. everything that was engraved before is now filled in with either gold silver or copper paint. only one area on each side has black for accent like the under dress on the kimono and the knot on the tree a wave in the ocean and on the top the trunk of the cherry blossom tree as well as the black swan and part of the chest of the dragon. only on the side with the lanterns has no black except the top and bottom edge.

each shogi piece is hand painted with the prospective kanji and the top is were you'll find most of the copper like in the flowers of the cheery tree and edges of the divider lines


why I want to enter this project in the contest for "good verses evil" is cause everybody opinion is different. One persons view point your action may be taken as evil but to another they are only protecting what is yours.
nature in all its aspects can be considered good it gives so much to feed and nurture us, however the destruction it can cause makes one wonder if mother nature is mad at us. Dragons in some cultures are viewed as evil but others think on them as blessings. What is odd,.. different not like everybody else makes others shun taunt ridicule and in some cases even teach its evil. and the adage of a black swan or butterfly is look upon as not accepted. The biggest good verses evil is man. it is ourselves, encompassing all what we are capable of doing and actually do. So what roll do you play today? Good or Evil?
