What could be better than eating sushi seven days a week? Of course, I did some research at my local sushi bar! The ambiance energized me, and I furiously sketched ideas on my placemat. I was a theatregoer, watching the drama unfold on a stage. The human sushi chefs became cats, serving up goldfish to their kitty customers. Back at my studio, the artwork seemed to tell me where to go: the glass case morphed into an aquarium, the chefs caught live goldfish with chopsticks, the fish turned cartoonish, and my childhood cat appeared on the saké shelf. Itadakimasu!
