Ninjaro Walks the Line

The character Ninjaro is pure fiction, the paintings of his travels came first. One followed the other as they flowed from my mind and brush. The style of clothing and background settings seemed to lean towards eastern culture. There are minarets, turreted castles and ornate designs in the decor. These pictures were to be hung in an exhibition. I then felt the need for a narrative to tie the paintings together. Each painting follows NinjaroEs inner search for knowledge. This journey takes him through weird and unusual places, with dark and devious combatants. When the story line was completed, the exhibition went ahead. After a long period of time, I decided to put the paintings and text into a book."
