Gravity free

A duo of painters consisting of djow (Toshio ono) and 8g (Eiji miyata).
Pursuing the expression of two people, creating one world view that seems to be "Gravityfree" that resonates with each other and mixes together. Live painting started in 2 as a hobby of drawing pictures at club events, and has appeared in many large-scale outdoor festivals, mainly the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL, and has become a presence that widely recognizes his int culture. Utilizing the unique ideas and improvisational nature of the two, they will expand the field of activities such as mural painting and commercial work.In recent years, taking advantage of his past experience, he is welcoming new developments such as showing art works created in his own studio, not at live venues, at painting exhibitions.

■ When creating a wrapping bus design
A picture of the Hanketenmangu Autumn Festival held every November at Hanketenmangu Shrine, which is close to JR Ekawasaki Station.The ushi-oni leads the half house subsidence bridge, and the young people parading around with a portable shrine, five deer, and a sword dance are depicted in an easy-to-understand and pop way.
I would be happy if people who saw the bus could get an opportunity to learn about the festivals and traditions of this area.
On the left side of the bus, I drew a picture of a heartwarming farmer's lunch and the scenery of the Shimanto River, which seems to appear in old tales, in the hope that visitors can relax and enjoy the magnificent nature of Shimanto. .
