With the release of new Paddington Movie, I worked on a project with IFC Mall in Shanghai for their Christmas Paddington World. It was fun drawing a character in my style especially I grew up reading the book and I feel close to him!
Hello!
It's World Maker Faire New York this weekend!
I did a limited edition 18 x 24 inch poster for the Faire this year. It will be on sale at the location this weekend.
I'm hoping I will be riding some animal shaped robots all weekend and climbing on a life size mouse trap!
See you there I hope.

Hello Tokyo!!! I'm having a show at Midnight Gallery OPP in Roppongi. I'm especially excited because it's a show with Masumi Hara who is an illustrator that I have been admiring since I was young. First time I saw his illustration was on Banana Yosimoto's novel and since then I was drawn into his beautiful strong eyed women he paints. It is like a dream comes true to be paired with such an accomplished artist! Thank you ArtLife for putting this event together!!!

I'm fighting with this weather by wearing extra bright cloths today.
Image for the CD cover from a Japanese client came in. It's nice to see the old work reused in something completely new and different! This CD is like a book on tape, with a Japanese actress Mamiko Noto reading popular literatures by Japanese authors. You can purchase this from - ----> amazon.jp store
With the release of this CD, there will be an event in the end of April in Japan. And will be a small solo exhibition of my drawings and paintings at the space. I will let you know the details once it's near!!
Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!
