So, this news page is getting more and more like a blog. Then, shouldn’t I just admit that this is indeed the 21st Century and start a real blog? I am so old-fashioned, I still cannot commit to that new technology. Go ahead laugh at me…

NO GEISHA

New book came from Italy today.It is a reuse of an illustration I previously made for The Word Magazine (UK)’s supplement CD jacket. When the publisher, Mondadori of Italy, asked for this image to be used on a book, I was not sure how this square image was going to turn out on the rectangular surface. I am, actually, loving this clever treatment they did. Big thank you to graphic designer Manuele Scalia.

FORMAT MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

I am finally coming out of “hermit” schedule which went on from January till…now. School year is over at SVA and my students are off to early “summer” vacation which gives me 4 months of time off as well.Friends from abroad are flying in on the perfect timing next week. Agata Nowicka from Warsaw, Thilo Rothacker from Stuttgart, and Monika Aichele from Berlin. Looking forward to spending some time with them!

And yes, I will take care of forever neglected Illustration Section of the site. Please don’t think I don’t have any new work. I have been working a lot, and that is why it hasn’t been updated.

New online interview is up now. I was able to talk about my serious obsessions with WNYC here, which was fun. Thank you Daniel Eckler, editor of Format, and writer Carmel Hagen.

Award winning Japanese illustrator based in New York City and instructor at School of Visual Arts.
