  • Marxy and Verena

    I took this shoot last Friday night during the reception for the re-opening of the Claska hotel in Meguro. There’s something I really like about this shot of Marxy and Verena, like we’re spying in on something.

  • TAB Talks #3

    I had a chance to go to last night’s TAB Talks (#3) at the Gotanda Sonic event space. It featured three French creators (Gwenael Nicolas, Audrey Fondecave, and Jerome Senaillat) talking about their work and life in Tokyo.

  • This Week in Cycling

    I know, I know, it’s such a clichΓ© to put up photos of the cherry blossoms in full bloom at this time of the year, but I finally made it out for a quick bike run today on my regular route alongside Kanda river, and it really was an amazing sight. You can see more…

  • Cafe Pause Poster Series #2

    Today I put up the second poster in the “Cafe Pause Poster Series,” replacing the previous one that was designed by Ian Lynam. The new poster is by PMKFA. Thanks, Micke! Below is a better a look at the poster.

  • New Chairs at Cafe Pause

    It’s been a while, but designer Koji Kimura has brought in some new chairs at the cafe. Currently there are two like the one pictured above (the other one is yellow), and I believe there will be a third one, but I’m not sure if it’ll have the same shape, or if it’s something else…

  • Koshiba and Martin Live Event

    A few photos from the live event by Hiroaki Koshiba and Shantell Martin held this past Sunday (March 16) at Cafe Pause, marking the end of Hiro’s exhibition at the cafe. They each took turns on separate canvases, switching midway. Update:Β Here’s a video of the two in action.

  • J.S. Mug

    My new coffee mug, which my wife got for me the other day when we went to newly opened J.S. Burgers Cafe in Aoyama (it’s on the street that leads to the A to Z Cafe). The J.S. stands for “Journal Standard,” but I like to pretend they are the initials for my name.

  • Hiroaki Koshiba Live Painting

    A few photos from Hiroaki Koshiba‘s live painting last night at Cafe Pause, for the opening of his “Harmonic Lines” show (until March 16). Hiro will be present at tonight’s edition of PauseTalk to talk about the exhibition.

  • 86th Art Directors Club Annual Awards

    I stopped by the Creation Gallery G8 in Ginza the other day for the “86th Art Directors Club Annual Awards” exhibition. I always enjoy going to this to see all of the interesting ad work and TV commercials I don’t see here in Japan, and this year I really liked watching the winning works in…

  • Studio Coast

    Studio Coast in Shin-Kiba, where I saw The Arcade Fire perform earlier this month. It’s part of the Ageha club complex, and seeing that show marked the first time I’d been in the area — the only time I’m even in Shin-Kiba is to change trains on my way to the Makuhari Messe convention center.…
