Tomoyuki Tanaka
I can’t believe it. The image you see here (of Shibuya station, from this Architizer post) was drawn first by pencil, and then pen, by Tomoyuki Tanaka. He has created these massive and insanely detailed works for various stations, and they’re currently on show at the “Doboku Civil Engineeringā exhibition at 21_21 Design Sight.

House Vision 2
It’s too late to take in the “House Vision 2” exhibition (it ended this past Sunday) but you can still experience some of the highlights courtesy of this Japan Times piece, written by Mio Yamada, who was theĀ last editor of my “On Design” column (and who continues to write it now). The exhibition offered a…

PauseDraw
Even though I’m no longer in Tokyo running my PauseTalk events, it warms my heart to see that its offshoot, PauseDraw, is still going strong. Unlike PauseTalk where talking’s the thing, the sister series is all about getting a group of people together to draw, draw, and then draw some more. Originally started by Luis…

Pixel Art Park 3
Do you have a thing for pixel art? If so, then boy do I have the exhibition for you. “Pixel Art Park 3” looks to be a fantastic celebrationĀ of all things prettily pixelized, and it’s taking place at the always interesting 3331 Arts ChiyodaĀ space (September 9, 2016). Fans of Lexaloffle‘s PICO-8 fantasy console should also…

That’s Entertainment!
Ian LynamĀ isĀ a Tokyo-based dude I love so much, and embarrassingly it’s just now that I’m catching up on the fantastic essay/exhibition he produced earlier this yearĀ called “That’s Entertainment!” Get some background through this TypeThursday interview, and then get online and read through the project’s main essay — and that’s also where you can download plenty…

Picotachi Vol. 35
The indie gaming scene in Tokyo is on the riseĀ — the Branching Paths documentary illustrates this quite nicely — and one of the components of that growing scene is the Picotachi series. Organized by game dev Joseph White at his Pico Pico Cafe — a lovely space in Kichijoji — it’s a bilingual show-and-tell series…
