Those miniscule dots where my red arrow points are a wave of people. Packed solid… and that’s far down Omotesando street. There’s no space. To take this photo, I waited for a moment of clearing in front of me. I go to Tokyo and see this over and over, but it never ceases to amaze me. What are they seeing, buying, and thinking about? The Xmas lights on the street are a rarity because of cost. I think it’s because they’re now LED, thus cutting down costs.

That's how large that painting is. It's taller than me. An amazing exhibition just ended at Mizuma art. All the works sold. If you're interested in any of his work, hit me up. We still have some left! I'm impressed at Sashie's progression. Yes, he's still doing the orbs, yet he's definitely taken steps to do work that's not orbital, yet it's just as great. That ship is amazing. It has a theme of...

My friends agreed.

Had dinner with the creator and artist of Black Rock Shooter - Huke. He doesn't make himself available to the public, hence the mosaic. He went from a fan to a budding pro. We had dinner as part of a year end chill out celebration. It seems like everyone does this. He's getting ready for Komiket which is in a few days where he sells a ton of his new book. We ate at an awesome Chinese place in...
