I’ve been in Hong Kong for the last 5 days printing the Spring 2010 Nixon Catalog… Lot’s of work to get done in a short amount of time, I’m exhausted to say the least! In between the hustle and bustle of the corporate catalog world I was able to hang with Matt, Lindsay, Brie and the one and only Lilly Sunday. Lot’s of great food was eaten, check out that desert up top created by Matt for Zuma. Pretty damn good!!
Some Music from the Trip:
Johnny Flynn - The Wrote & The Writ
Belle & Sebastian - I’m a cuckoo-japanese version
Lloyd and Devon - Red Bumb Ball
S.E. Rogie - She Caught Me Red Hot

Well, Well, Well, back in old Hong Kong.. Got here Saturday evening, and proceeded to hang out with Mr. Matt Landman, Which later lead us to be sitting at this table in some bar negotiating the right place to sing some karaoke. Also what’s with the weird guy smiling in between us? …
When your shoes come off at karaoke, and you run out of mics so you use a remote, you know life is good.
Baby Balancing.
More to come, I am knee deep in work right now.

So Randy’s Zine workshop this weekend was really fun. So refreshing to just sit down with an x-acto and get weird on some 8.5×11 cardstock pages for an afternoon. Tons of people showed up, and one giant super zine was created.. Jamie’s 5 year old daughter’s page was probably the best thing made all day! We didn’t have time to paginate everything and print it, but expect a proper offset printed version with scanned in pages of this to be created in the upcoming weeks. Big ups to everyone who came out, And John, don’t worry about stabbing me in my finger with an X-acto.. It’s healing just fine. The amount of blood that can come out of a finger is impressive.
New Years

Happy New years everyone.. Here’s some photos from that great night. Liberace’s penthouse apartment, lots and lots of champagne, a drunk bartender who forgot to open the champagne, and an almost lost eye due to premature cork poppage. Fun times. I look really drunk in these photos..

The good ol’ Rapi-t in Osaka
Everytime I come to Japan I get one of these right when I land.. They are basically amazing.. It is some rich almost syruppy coffeee.. some of the most potent stuff around.
Met up with Ephraim, Saki & Ryuji for some good ol’ dirty BBQ. Super so good. Forgot my camera so took iPhone pics..
They had really big mugs there. Ephraim helping Saki drink.
Ephraim hard at work in his Awaza studio. If you like Capita, this is the man, the myth, the legend behind a large chunk of those great board graphics.
So I got a snack at the airport in Osaka, and this was the pack of sauce they gave me.. Doesn’t that drawing look like a steaming pile of poo???
Off to Tokyo.
