i think i have too many small illustrations. if i were to show my fashion doodlings at a smaller venue like  envoy gallery i think i could fill up one wall already.  or two.  let's do it.

tsubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

john rankin foto exhibit @ milk studios. 

i like his fotos alot.  i don't usually gravitate towards fotography that is clear, vivid, colourful, but he had such a variety of portraits and sets.  i especially like the first one i posted here.. a girl with what looks like a knife in her shoulder. and of course the portraits that were so detailed you can see every pore on keith's face. but what i really liked was the provocative feeling many of them had.. whether it was clearly a boob in your face, or not.

good bye for now, moon.

he is going back for a few years to work for the u.s.a. in his home country, which is not u.s.a.

comme des garcons spring 2011

i am posting this drawing because i am pretty sure the whole world knows i am obsessed with this leather bra.

they were selling t-shirts with my illustration of the rising sun collection from 2007 on it (in collaboration with http://youraction.jp). ! !! ! !

kobi and atsushi

pesu !

on sunday, i stopped by the japan block fair in midtown of nyc.  most booths were there to raise money for japan.  

i ran into maggie and takeru (kobi) and we were just in time for atsushi's dance performance.  he's been doing solo performances and had been visiting the cities that have been damaged from the earthquake.  he told me that his body just starts to move when he feels the energy. even if it's without thinking.  i think it's his way of contributing to.. life?  everyone seems to be contributing these days. it's so liberating to me because it really does feel like people become selfless.

kosher hot dog. don't ask.

kobi and maggie, showing their super japanese side

later that night, we all joined together for a dinner at Bread before maggie left for japan, again. 

and surprised her with an early birthday celebration. :-)
