Dear Family, Friends and Fans, we wish you more laughter and smiles, more art and more inspiration each and every single day from TAM!k0 Art!
To kick start the 1st day of the New Year, I made limited New Years Postcards from my self carved lino block. Tomorrow I'll be making limited hand printed Cards with Envelope. Its a great way to show and share my appreciation. If you're interested to purchase and send some TAM!K0 Art New Years Card too, drop me an email. I'd be very happy to make limited prints for you too. Lets welcome the year of the wooden sheep together!
As of Nov 01, 2014 my new Studio & Gallery, Workshop and more in Munich-Haidhausen. Together with Newsha Javadipour, Jenny Schminke, Birgit Abt, Emmy Horstkamp and myself.
KUNST-WERKSTATT is an artist cooperative located at 59 Steinstrasse in Haidhausen, Munich. We work within shared studio space, organise art-based events and showcase the art of our members, and other local artists, in our gallery. Come in and visit!
So what are my new objectives this year...
"The Downtown Artist at Large" by © Man One with permission (www.manone.com)
Looking back, I think I must have produced 30+ paintings this past year. Despite a lot of trials and errors, I was creating and in the flow! I'm thrilled that many of my works have found wonderful new homes. That in itself is the greatest compliment and achievement I could ever receive as an artist knowing that my work has touched and inspired another soul.
On a sad note, last week I accidentally got my LEFT pinky caught in a closing subway door and got it broken (totally not cool for a LEFTY) so here I sit at the moment with an oversized cast on my left hand with little ability to move my fingers! Instead of attempting right-handed painting, I've decided to take a little rest from brushes and canvas but will now focus on another artistic area of interest to me; traveling and photography (I never leave home without my camera. Must be a Japanese thing).
I'll start my new journey "a new moon, a new place, a new face" in a few days. My first stop Sri Lanka, then Israel, South Africa.... Looking forward to returning with many new and inspiring ideas. Happy Trails! Love you all.

Wishing all my fans a wonderful start into a bright 2014. May this year be filled with tons of ideas and creativities! - love tamiko

Weaving the Magic-Artist Synergies.
I was frantic working in my studio when out of the blues I received a Skype call from Cristina. I was spending days in and days out, long months on end prior to an upcoming exhibition, working endlessly on my 5 Element Series. It was something so deep within me I was very eager to put on canvas visually how I was feeling inside about metamorphoses or how I found "nothing is constant but the change". Well, from what I'm writing, you can believe it then when I was at first totally oblivious to what Cristina was telling me (maybe it was all the mixed media fumes getting to my head)... After I zoned back into and onto this planet, Cristina then told me what she had scecretly made just for me. I couldn't hold back the tears. A few days laters, just as she promised, I received then her surprise pre-birthday package containing one of the most amazing hand made gifts I had ever received: a felted silk scarf with superfine Australian merino woven shawl is so lovingly handmade by Cristina Countas in her atelier in Cypress. She had taken 2 of my paintings she liked and creatively transferred the colors and look into another medium!
Wearing her work and being wrapped in such beautiful colors, textures and patterns, I feel like ART itself, it makes me feel proud and special. Thank you so much Cristina Countas at www.cristinacountas.com for helping me make my Opening Night on 22.Nov.2013 at my Baden-Baden Exhibition extra special!
