hunt and gather

thanx to tina ziegler!!!

hunt and gather is the new art book that i am part of.

the book includes works by 44 artists from around the world:

greg simkins, nathan ota, liz mcgrath, romanowski, deseo one,

and my good friend j.shea 9 and tanner goldbeck  and more.

i'm not sure about the release date....

revision

たまに。。。

忙しい日々を過ごす中で、たまにはええかって思い気を休めて時間を過ごしてしまう。

何をしてる訳でもなくただ夢ごごちな気分のままで。。。。

でもそうしている時も僕の親や兄はきっと一生懸命働いている。

本当に頭が上がりません。

いつも応援ありがとう。

me favorite spots:)

i moved to down town la about a month ago, and it is becoming one of my favorite neighborhood in la:)

so i wanted to share some of my favorite joints that i enjoy.

one of them is "nijiya market" economic bento boxes and all the japanese goodies are sold here.

my friend tessar in front of nijiya square.

the next spot is  japanese izakaya called "haru-ulala" and it's located on the 2nd st.

good times are always accompanied with tasty food, cheap drinks and excellent service.

soju with oolong tea, and grilled beef tongue.

well that's the spots i go to get my japanese fix  and to collect nostalgic little joys.

reactions..

i tend to over react...

making a big deal out of a little thing...

to pause and breathe...

i need to do that more often...
