I felt like I had to draw something dedicated to this tragic event. Probably most of you have known about it already, but if not, Northeastern Japan was struck by both an earthquake and a tsunami on March 11th, destroying the infrastructure and causing quite an amount of casualties. Many are completely devastated by the event, including me.
However, I am happy that people are contributing and praying for Japan, even if they aren’t affected by the catastrophe. It’s incredible how we all live symbiotically today. (At least, if you exclude all the fighting and all.)
Anyway, Japanese culture is a major influence on my life (who isn‘t influenced by it?), so it makes me feel sad to know that people are suffering in Japan. I probably wouldn’t even be into art without its influence.
I think people should be aware of how much people help us. No matter how much they deny it, there’s some connection. Even this catastrophe in Japan affected many worldwide, directly and indirectly. If we can identify all our weaknesses and think about how we can change, it might make the world a better place.
did I just spit out a cheesy line? O-o

This is a great message and a damn fine work of art. I hope Japan continues to recover gracefully and my heart goes out to all those affected by that disaster. Like you, Japanese culture has heavily influenced my life as well. Very nice work my friend.
