ISLE OF THE BLEST

640 x 400, 1990 Digital picture by Chris Wayan


A tribute to the great Japanese artist Korin's 17th-century picture of the same name... and another picture with Japanese fox people. I'm the red fox, wanting to reach the Isle of the Blest; but afraid to swim it. The sundering waves were painted with two tiny digital brushes, made of the words "sex" and "fear." The distant Isle, where foxes meet their soul-mates, was painted with a brush consisting of one word: love.

A brocaded islet with a twisted pine. Fuji looms on the horizon A lonely red fox looks across a strait to the island of love and foxes. But the waves are made of fear...
