I always do things on the spot! When  painting  animals in nature, I spare no pains in smelling, chasing, capturing, and touching them. Once, when I was filming a grizzly bear, I held a machete in my left hand while I focused my camera in my right hand, all while staring the bear down. Whether facing a grizzly bear in Hokkaido, or a venomous serpent in Okinawa, drawing animals in their own habitat in the wild is often life-threatening.
