I have followed this artist for years. She is an Etegami Artist & Japanese-to-English translator in Hokkaido, Japan, and I dearly love her work ...

"In Japan, autumn is known as "the season for enjoying the arts" (it's also the "season for enjoying books" and the "season for enjoying food.") All of which means that Autumn is the season in which you renew your zest for life. Time to renew your acquaintance with the colorful and thought-provoking world of etegami. Check out my RedBubble portfolio/shop." The link is Debbie's profile.

"Red Bubble has evolved a lot over the years. A site where you could get high quality art prints of your own work to gift or sell through your own channels. It also has a very active artist community. Now RB prints on all sorts of products and you can just direct customers to the online shop."

Feel good art.

After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.”

“Now ... We have an $800,000 home, a $65,000 car, a nice big bed and a large-screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of the bargain."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.
