    I thought the only Graniph store in Ikebukuro was the one in Parco, but I found this other small shop the other day. It’s near the back entrance of the Mitsukoshi department store, across the street from the Louis Vuitton store. I prefer it to the Parco retail space, since it feels more like a…

    I haven’t talked about it here yet, but I recently was put in charge of organizing the gallery space at Cafe Pause. As manager of Gallery Pause, I’m in charge of dealing with artists, and accepting or rejecting requests for shows (as well as helping with the setup). I was waiting to put up some…

    The Billionaire Boys Club (Nigo/Pharell) store in Harajuku — which I’m assuming is a Wonderwall design, even though it’s not listed on their site — along with the space for its Ice Cream brand.

    Since there seems to be an interest for what I’m doing with PauseTalk — thank you to the people who have already emailed me and expressed interest in showing up at the first edition — and I know there are quite a few who are into games, so I’m wondering if there’d be any interest…

    In recent weeks I’ve noticed suspicious comments on my site that seem legit, but when you look at the URL that was submitted with the comment, it goes to a spam/ad-like site. I’ve seen at least 4-5 instances, and I’m never sure if it’s something I should delete or not. Anyone else notice something similar…

    As you’ll notice in the sidebar, I’ve made the start of PauseTalk official. There’s a tiny page for it, which I just quickly put together, which you can point people to if they’re interested in attending (I’ll probably add content to it as we go along and the thing starts). The first edition will be…
