Not much to say, I just wanted to do something different. It's been a while since my friend Christina asks me to draw her but I never have enough time. So I decided to draw her in Venice in a nice and romantic vibe you know? I finally changed my mind cuz I'm more into that asian vibe. My art finally became a firework show somewhere in Japan with a female character inspired by my dear Christina. And thanks to Drizzy joint "Fireworks" and Nujabes' track "Hanabi" for the inspiration...

My brother Nam made fun of me when he saw that "Hanabi" artwork, like "man, you do work with some of the most respected street rappers and you draw that kinda soft shit ???". Yeah, I don't care about that, I ain't got nothing to prove. I can do my soft joints for the ladies as well hahaha.

Otherwise, "hanabi" is the japanese word for "fireworks", that's all. Literally, the word "hanabi" (花火) means "flower" ("hana") and "fire" ("bi"). Nice isn't it?


Well, holla at yo boy.
