Ink, Brushes, Michael Vokabre's @procyonity.bsky.social · 1d

Painted in ink and watercolour on a postcard from JR West museum with a photo of Series 300 Shinkansen, sent as a patreon reward. Note that the actual Shinkansen pictured is of N700 series of JR East. Appropriately, this was actually posted this from a train.

A composite scan, with the painting described before below, and above the photo of the front of Series 300 Shinkansen superimposed over the area where the address is signed. On the left from the photo is the stamp with pink flowers on pink background, signed Nippon 100.

Shinkansen from Nagoya to Tokyo, Mt. Fuji
名古屋から東京までの新幹線、富士山

Square painting made in watercolour with ink lines. It roughly consists of two halves. On the left is the inside of the cabin of the passenger trains, on the right is the area near the door. On the left sits a woman in a face mask, holding a phone in her hand, and looking to the window, behind which is half-dried river, greenish hills and a bridge. Above the window is the plaque 18D E. On the right stands a woman with a camera or a phone attached to a through-shoulder strap. In front of her is a bit of Mt. Fuji with a fluffy cloud above. Below is a print "Series 300 Shinkansen class 322" and an artist signature "Michael Vokabre Passing By Mt. Fuji on Nagoya - Tokyo Train 2025 5785" and with an artist's stamp.

The postcards I painted before coming to Japan, where I bought the stamps, signed them, and sent them (often from the post offices with special Fukei-in cancellations).

I’m currently going around Tokyo sending artworks on patreon reward and other postcards from different offices to get special postmarks fukei-in.
This post office is where your anime figurines you order on ebay go through.
I love how the grass is allowed to be wild.
