SEATTLE — Akira Ohiso draws, but not with a pen and paper. He uses his finger, his iPad and an iOS app.



The half-Japanese, half-Irish artist plans to sketch his way across Seattle, accompanied by his wife, Ellie Ohiso, and their three children.



Through Akira's art, the family hopes to provide an artistic look into Seattle and speak to some of the social issues the city faces.



"I don't try to say too much with my pieces, just document … let people take away what they want," Akira said. "I'm trying to highlight what's going on in a community culturally, capture what people are feeling in Seattle."
