I’ve been loving Classic children’s book illustrations lately. After my watercolor of Kiki’s Delivery Service last week I decided to look at the work of E. H. Shephard. I really enjoy his work, and I’ve been enjoying learning about his life.
It’s the tail-end of 花見 or hanami season here, so I like to think that Christopher Robin took his friends out for a little flower viewing picnic 🙂 This piece is of course based on Shephard’s classic Pooh from the books with A.A. Milne. What do you think?
Here in Japan, Kit Kat is known for it’s interesting flavors and innovations. Crazy Japanese Kit Kats have kind of slowed down a bit lately (I personally think Häagen-Dazs stole their R&D team, with their crazy flavors like Rose and Sakura ice creams.) Recently, however, a new challenger came to the fore–the Baked Kit Kat!

Coming fresh off the heels of Yume No Hajima Ring Ring, it’s tempting to
As I mentioned recently, the live-action Kiki’s Delivery Service came out in theaters here in Japan a few weeks ago. Many Americans think that the Ghibli movie if the same name is the original, but in fact it’s not.

Spring Break is coming to a close, and it’s been a great one for out-of-town visitors. Two weeks ago there was the Anime News Network party with lots of people here for Anime Japan. Last weekend two of my old friends from Montreal were in town for some sightseeing. We wandered around Harajuku, checking out Streamer Coffee and sampling their Military Latte.
One of the topics that came up that afternoon was a webcomic that we read called Ponto. It’s a cute little comic about Continue reading
When I was in Tokyo recently I had a chance to drop in at one of my favorite coffee shops, Streamer Coffee. As much as I love Starbucks and their Cherry Blossom Lattes, one of my favorite things to do is check out little coffee shops in the city, especially ones that boast beautiful latte art!
Streamer’s coffee is Continue reading
Today is not only my Dad’s birthday, but yesterday was Sean’s Mom’s birthday as well! I can’t celebrate in person, but I thought I would make them a cake anyhow 🙂
This one is based off of a piece by the amazing Yoshizawa Miyuki, the same artist who inspired my Valentine’s Day chocolate watercolor. Love her stuff! And love to the birthday celebraters as well!
Genki Sudo and his sharp dressed men have just released their newest video This is Life! This time the boys are running around Ishikawa prefecture and Continue reading
It’s been exactly a year since I was hospitalized after being hit by a car while biking home one afternoon. I was so out of it I didn’t even really Continue reading
Well, it it turns out Starbucks isn’t the only American import getting in on the cherry blossom craze! (Gotta love their Sakura Lattes and Cherry Blossom Frappuccinos!) Everyone’s favorite burger producing mega-corp has joined the fray with Sakura drinks AND burgers, even going so far as to dye the bun pink. They’re not Continue reading
