Help wanted? Major Jun Ishida is at your service!!

Hello, IAM ground crews, this is Maj. Ishida speaking.

I'd like to be a part of IAM, because I already have an aviator uniform, silk scarf, and goggles.
Major Jun Ishida is at your service.

Here are list of what I can do for you:

• I can identify all World War Two fighter planes. (And maybe other types.)

• I can draw airplanes very well both from real life and from my head.

• I can make great airplane dog fight noise.
  

Well actually, I have practical skills like singing and dancing. “Let me entertain you or your passengers.” You should have read last sentence with melody. Also, my experience of living in the 3rd world made me resourcefully under difficult circumstances like no electricity or low in water. I can teach demanding passengers how to take a bath with a bucket of water. I am also excellent with power tools, fabrication, paintings, and also familiar with all major digital editing software include Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, Director, and Fireworks. I don't mind doing heavy lifting. I have been practicing my art more than 10 years.

I believe in nurturing a community. I like to go to art residencies at which I make close contacts. Having an opportunity to meet fellow artists and exchange ideas and information with them is very stimulating to me, and over the course of one year, a superb dialogue develops. IAM project is somewhat like a super short residency. I have never been in remote part of Nevada . I know that sometimes landscape can gives you a strong impact as my Tibet trip changed my life even though I was only there about 10 days. I am confident that I can learn something from the others and the others can learn something from me, becoming not only a better artists but also better human beings.

Sincerely,
Maj.Jun'ichiro Ishida
