I was working with Julia Pott & Eight Years.

This woman is half Japanese & half Swedish and speaks a bit of Japanese. She requested a word 'おいしい' (delicious) in speech babble. and Big Ben.

V&A Friday Late + Record Jacket Exhibition

   

This Friday I'll be at V&A's event 'Friday Late' to do a workshop. from 18.30.

That's interesting.

SOY record jacket

 

I'll show my work in an exhibition of record jacket at zine/art shop in Tokyo.

I made a imagenary record of SOY, my band in Japan.

The title is 'PURPLE JUICE'

There is a story behind it.

A spirit who drinks Purple Juice of the Soy Bean in the dangerous world out of the safe forest will be a member of SOY band.

Can you guess what Purple Juice is?

Jungle City - Orangutan revised

I finally finished painting the orangutan sculpture for Jungle City 2011.

It looks much better now I think.

Previous version is here.

Orangutan is living on a tree so I added trees and the enemy clouded leopards called 'UMPYO' in Japanese.

UMPYO

The outcome is this.

There was a photo shooting for their catalogue.

It was interesting opportunity. I was jumping a lot!

These photographers were really creative people. 

It was like I'm one of the team member. I enjoyed!
