Sunday, August 8th, I met with Gary Hostallero the world renowned Asian Artisan.

I usually see Gary much more than I have the last few months. He has been extremely busy with his work and I with my new project. Gary and I share a fascination with the samurai and bushido (the way of the warrior).

Here Gary tells me about the "'Black Horse Shogun" and how he united about a third of his country before his death. It is a real pleasure to listen to Gary talk about these great warriors, he posses a great deal of knowledge about them. The paintings are very intricate and are done in a mixed media format.



Gary gives me the thumbs up.

If you would like to learn more about Gary and his art, visit his gallery:

There are videos of Gary and his stories on each painting on his site.

I walked to McDonalds this morning and had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit.

Lunch with Gary was a Quarter Pounder

I went for a walk late night and it was a beautiful night.
I am trying to avoid certain houses on my route because dogs bark late at night. I will also try to avoid others as well if you let me know I have disturbed you. I don't intend on being a problem, I'm just innocently walking down the street and life happens. So if I scare you and you want me to walk elsewhere, I will.

A lady on my walk tonight explained that I scared her because I was talking to myself. It was really my phone and ear piece that I was talking to. And other miscellaneous things like that. I explained to her and I apologize and don't do any of these things intentionally.
