In his numerous years of production, Garman spent a lot of time in Asia, China and Thailand to be specific.
One of the cutest things he ever showed me was this little […]

So, today I’m too lazy to do an appropriate blog about culture. However, I think it might be a good time to appreciate the cultural aspects of art.
