The progression of Colin's facial hair while in Japan

A few small notes about this drawing. When Colin says "100?!" he's talking about being overcharged for laundry services in Nagoya. Also notice the repeated v-neck shirt. He wore that shirt a LOT in Japan.

Breakfast in Japan

back from Japan!

Well, I'm back from Japan, which was amazing and exhausting. It was great to get caught up on my sodium and fish intake for the entire year in just 12 days. What I mean is, the Japanese are big fans of the salt. Don't know what Japan looks like? Here is an aerial photo:

In between Karaoke and scouring the used book stores for Taro Gomi books, I was able to get some drawing/journaling done. I'll be posting some of the pages from my Moleskine over the next few days. I'll also post some images of the incredible books, stationary sets, ads, and other great stuff I saw. I've never been to a country that loves illustration so much, so it was great to go back.
