{SPEAKER name="Jasmine Fernandez"}
Um I have one more question, and this is after like looking at your art cause I really, I really like that form, especially the cartoonist style.
Um, when did you start putting yourself in your art?

[00:12:51]
{SPEAKER name="Roger Shimomura"}
Um I'd say about six or several years ago.

{SPEAKER name="Jasmine Fernandez"}
Mhm.

{SPEAKER name="Roger Shimomura"}
(cough) I'm not um, I can't remember the very first time because I probably did it once or twice earlier than that

[00:13:06]
{SPEAKER name="Roger Shimomura"}
but it's really with this American knock-off series that I started doing in every painting.

[00:13:15]
{SPEAKER name="Roger Shimomura"}
And uh so even today I'm sort of divided by time between doing paintings and three series.

[00:13:24]
{SPEAKER name="Roger Shimomura"}
One is the "Minidoka on my Mind" series about the camps and then the other one is about stereotypes, uh and then the third one is this American knock-off series and the knock-off series is the one that I depict myself at the time

[00:13:42]
{SPEAKER name="Jasmine Fernandez"}
Interesting. Okay, thank you.
