Cowboy’s Blog
“Sayonara Cowboy explores the wild frontier of time and geography, of youth and love, of destiny and freedom. Fellenberg’s recollections are spun into a personal tale stretched between a war-torn Japan and 20th century Americana, cross-stitched with the colorful fibers of finding identity, purpose, and artistic voice, a voice that is in turns innocent, honest and searching, and always humorous and poetic.”
