This piece is titled My Halfbreed Legacy. 11*17 watercolour, sumi, on Bristol Board. Growing up in the early 80s WW2 shows and movies were inescapable on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Where the Americans beat the Japanese, nukes were dropped and so on. This piece represents being half Japanese and half American.
