This is an image of a manga version of my friend Diane being photo bombed by a Dragon as envisioned by Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai best known for his iconic Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji which includes the internationally iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa self-Identified with the image of the Dragon. Hokusai loved to paint Dragons, most often rising energetically into the firmament.
The self-described ‘Old man mad about drawing’ also published The ‘Hokusai Manga‘, published over several decades, contains 4000 images including landscapes, flora and fauna, everyday life and the supernatural. So hence my choice to Mangazise Diane, and everyone’s predilection to pull faces behind her back every time she takes a selfie.
