Everybody Loves Cupie Danny!!
Gallery
In November 2013, while staying in East Harlem (Spanish Harlem), New York, I met Danny Rojo performing at a restaurant near where I was staying.
Lots of tattoos, bald head, iridescent beard. But when I heard his singing voice, I liked the voice. When I look at SNS, I think that it is for promotional purposes, there are naked photos.
One day, I found a Cupie doll that looks like Danny Rojo from the back at a 100-yen shop(1 dollar shop). Of course, it’s a Cupie doll so he’s naked.
I drew a tattoo with momentum, added a rainbow-colored mustache, and drew thick eyebrows with a ballpoint pen. When I sent the photo to Danny, who lives in New York, he seemed to like it a lot.
I named it “Cupie Danny” because I thought it would be easier to remember if it resembled “Cutie Honey” from the Japanese manga that most Japanese know.
Two months later, I went to New York with lots of Cupie Danny and materials for making Cupie Danny. After that, I went to Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, and Miami.
Tribute to Juan-Carlos Formell
May 27th, 2023 (in NY, May 26th). My Facebook feed was flooded with posts about the death of Juan-Carlos Formell, who suddenly collapsed on stage in New York. I don’t know him in person, but many of my friends are his friends. The next day, I was informed that my longtime friend Yoshiko had passed away. Their sudden death made me realize that it might not be the “usual thing” that “I am living” at all.I made a fan to commemorate him. Hice un abanico para conmemorarlo.
Please raise the “fireworks of fan” together that can be seen from the sky.
