Do you believe I can fix my life someday?

Will I be a better person in the future?

Hiroshi Shafer was born in Tokyo. His grandfather was a secret agent for the Japanese Air Force. He tried to force Shafer to become an air force pilot, but he has become a smart artist instead and moved to NYC.

Seven years ago he became a kindergarten art teacher, where he learned how to make his own representations of the secret emotions of children. It wasn’t surprising that this would change him. Shafer became a secret detective of soft and misty people.

He loves to explore the new and unknown world of familiar surfaces and pink atmospheres.
