    A reader contacted me today asking for advice on where to buy inexpensive posters or prints by Japanese illustrators (he was comparing to the price range of these Kozyndan posters). I’m not quite sure where the best place would be, so I thought I’d make this public, to get some responses. I know that a…

    I’m currently at the Deux et Neuf Cafe in Shibuya, and to my great surprise, I’m connecting to the internet with my iBook. I was just planning on working on some texts (a few pieces for a magazine called Planet), and I opened up and found a network. The signal is very weak (one or…
