PauseTalk Vol. 93
This was originally posted to the PauseTalk website. PauseTalk Vol. 93 was held on Thursday, December 12 at Bananafish New HQ, with a group that was ready to talk and drink (well, I might have done most of the drinking). As always, a great evening of discussion that touched at various points on freelance vs.…

A Summer of PKN & PT
It’s been a while since my last update, I know, but things keep on keeping. On the PechaKucha Night side of things, since April we held events both in May (Vol. 36, themed on “gaming”) and July (Vol. 37) at our usual venue of Studio 9. The July event marked the start of a “triple…

PauseTalk Next Week
One of the interesting things that has happened since my return to Asia is the return of PauseTalk. As I wrote in detail in this post, when I left Tokyo back in 2015 I also decided to put an end to my PauseTalk series (with Vol. 85). I wasn’t really interested in handing it over…

PauseTalk, Five Years Later
It just hit me today that five years ago this month I held what I then called the “final” edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 85) in Tokyo — here’s the post I wrote to mark that end. That event took place on March 2, 2015, and a few weeks later (on March 31) I would be…

GameLoop & GCX
Today was an enjoyable day, taking in Montreal’s annual GameLoop “unconference” — “unconference” in the sense that as a group we crowdsource the sessions for the day, with each session then acting as a salon-type discussion. After leaving Japan and moving to Montreal, it’s taken a while for me to decide to start attending this…

Faces
My friend Louis-Étienne VallĂ©e — who interestingly, I’d see at my PauseTalk events whenever he was in town for visits, and then again in Montreal where he was based before I moved there, and now he finds himself having moved to Tokyo — is an illustrator whose latest project sees him obsessing with faces. He…

State of PauseDraw
The latest post up on the State of Tokyo site is a beautifully shot look at the latest PauseDraw event. It’s great to see the event get a nice bit of coverage like this, and big thanks to Alex for the PauseTalk mention — I miss doing those events too.

Score Studios and The Last Guardian
I remember a couple of years ago, at one of my last PauseTalk events, that I was asking my buddy James Kay — who runs the Tokyo-based Score Studios — what he was up to at the time, and that he hinted that the studio was working on something that I’d consider to be a pretty…

Canvas Updates Creatives Listings
As you’ve probably noticed, I’m a big fan of the Tokyo creatives community site Canvas, developed by my friend Mark McFarlane — and I daresay that PauseTalk played a small role in inspiring its creation (at least Mark was nice enough to say that). I like regularly going to the “Activity” page to see what…
