Ego-Wrappin' - かつて..。

A good friend of mine introduced them to me a year ago. I have a special love for this Japanese band. So amazing beyond words. /*o>*/

A Bit of Summer

enjoying the last bit of summer,





New Drawings

Have been doing some experiments over the summer, so I thought that I'd share some with you. I just can't get enough of these colors. I may turn these into a zine for Canzine, an annual event in Toronto for local artists and makers.

Here's the date and location info. if you're interested.
Sunday, October 23
Toronto – 918 Bathurst Centre
918 Bathurst St. @ 1 – 7 pm

It would be great if you could come by and say hi!, pick up a few free stickers and be sandwiched between lovely people. :)

worlds,

So apparently I also write, much thanks to an awesome creative writing class that I had the opportunity in taking over the summer. Something small for you to spare a minute to.

the nights that i cannot sleep, i spend thinking homes that i’ve never lived in, places i’ve never been to, and lovers that i forgot to love deeply.

i can sometimes feel the warm breeze from these worlds, throwing back my hair into gentle knots. and the faint smell of cut bread waiting on someone’s dining table - it’s mild sweetness knocking me to my knees.

no, this isn’t desire at all. it is something that comes naturally, without control, stripped of all reasons, of all expectations.

during these times, i let things unfold as they are supposed to. these are times at their purest.

Daily Inspiration: Ricor

I've been in and around photography. But as always, it's difficult to find time to do everything, which is why I've always admired those who can really live what they do.

I discovered Ricor, a photographer from Taiwan sometime last year through flickr. I still haven't been able to let go of the silence in his photographs. It's like holding in your breath for as long as you possibly can, and letting out the greatest sigh.

something nice to start us off,



Au Revoir Simone - Backyards Of Our Neighbours

Zozo

I was recently introduced to an online fashion store from Tokyo, zozo. I've never been a huge fan of these websites as they tend to be overcrowded with images and flashing advertisements, but the minimalism in the photographs have always appealed to me. Here are a few favorites from their website:
