3 year ago, the very famous Japanese artist Range Murata (村田蓮爾) came to Taiwan for an art exhibition. That was my first to meet him. This year he came to Taiwan again to join the 2010 Taipei International Book Exhibition.

On Jan. 29, he had a 1.5 hour event of live demo. We arranged hardware and software for him; glad we got his request few weeks ago, so we can prepare the Japanese version OS and software for him.

Before the event started, we asked Mr. Murata to test the equipments. At that time he realized we met 3 year ago. I was kind surprised that he still remembered me. I asked him if everything was all right and apologized for the improper software 3 years ago. He smiled and told me everything was OK and not to mind about what happened before.

Anyway, this time we had quite a good preparation for his demo. Though he has only about one hour for the live demo, he still created a painting from sketch. That was really amazing!

Due to his tight schedule, we did not have too much talk. But I am glad to see Mr. Murata again and help him to have a wonderful event with his fans.
