Geiko: Mixed Media Journal
Illustration of a Kyoto Geiko from Japan in my Mixed Media Journal. Follow the link if you would like to learn more about Geiko, Geisha and Maiko in Japan.

Happy New Year
It’s been a while since I last posted, about a year and half. As I said I would in my last post, I took some time off…from everything. A lot has happened. But, I am still here.
