Last week I was at this Loviisa peace event thing and among other people, Rieko Seto was there. Rieko is a Japanese artist and also a 2nd generation Hiroshima survivor (her mother was a victim). I had a brief chat with her. Fun thing is, she had this idea for an art piece she was doing and she asked people to draw the outlines of their hands on paper and then write a short message of sorts. Well, I drew my hand, wrote something cheesy like "Peace from Finland! -Henkka." But then I looked at what other people were writing and I noticed some of it was rather questionable, so I said fuck it, went to Rieko to ask if I could make an addition and wrote "Nihon no onnanoko wa kawaii!" ("Japanese girls are cute!") When Rieko saw what I had written, she laughed and agreed, but also said that Finnish men aren't too bad either.

Now the fun part is that this piece of artwork will actually be put up in a real art exhibition. So hey, if you happen to visit Hiroshima in October, go to Rieko's exhibition and find my hand! I think that's a pretty cool thought, my hand and wacky message in Hiroshima. Cool stuff. I wonder if anyone there will read my message.


In any case, now for the main event. Like last time, some of them are good, some not so good, and some are pure awesome if I may say so myself. Hope you like 'em. Firstly, here's ones made from the Chokkan PV close-up edition. These took ages to make. I think Reina's is probably the most interesting to look at.

 
And now for everything else:


That's all folks. I guess I'll keep posting any future gifs as I make them.
