As Baku claims, "I simply love to move my hands and seek for expressions." Daily fiddling with fingers and hands is consistently pushing the envelope of his creative expressions.

To site a few examples -- this particular work, Baku attempted to use a glue gun to express a character's tear. A great incorporation of his illustration and an external tool.




Also, this piece is a utilization of two windows and two illustrations. Two separate illustrations were drawn on each window and when the windows, or the illustrations, are superimposed, a whole new expression emerges.




Within the definition of "fiddling with hands", Baku also creates psuedo-illustration works.


As Baku says, "All the fiddling and random illustration works are the source of new expressions in the future. When I have something in my mind I just make one -- create and visualize."

This trait ultimately lead to RIBBONESIA, a ribbon-made accessories. (featured on EDGY JAPAN)




More and more Baku's creative expressions to come in the future.
