			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/samurai300.png" alt="mikoto's Samurai" align="left" height="380" width="300" />Traveling to Melbourne for the week was a great experience. walking the streets of the CBD I count not believe how much graffiti, art, music and culture seemed to pour out of every lane-way. I was really impressed by the graffiti method using white paint with black stencils and upon my return home to Sydney I created this design.<br />
The design depicts a Samurai and he is in a bad mood, his dagger is drawn and one hand rests on a samurai sword ready to go. I have tried to achieve a balance between the enormous headdress by stretching the Japanese kanji for samurai (?) underneath him. The writing also gives it perspective, as if in the street and I particularly like it how the symbol is red like blood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mikoto.com.au/images/baloon200.png" alt="baloon" align="left" height="356" hspace="5" width="200" />The mikoto website has received a number of cosmetic and functional changes that include a new header image, lighter woodgrain background and a new <a href="http://www.mikoto.com.au/gallery" title="mikoto gallery" target="_blank">gallery</a> page.</p>
<p>The header is filled with some of the characters that will be on the next run of T-shirts I print for Paddington Markets  that you can currently buy online from my mikoto <a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/mikoto" title="buy mikoto T's on Redbubble" target="_blank">profile at Redbubble</a>.</p>
<p>The new <a href="http://www.mikoto.com.au/gallery" title="mikoto gallery" target="_blank">gallery</a> page will steadily grow with mikoto designs and drawings That can be then used on website such as myspace, PC desktops, screen savers and print outs. I will include not only finished designs but preliminary sketches and hand drawings.</p>
<p>The real reason for the change though was to fix my website after it was <strong>hacked into!</strong></p>
