Just posted an article on my blog about things that are happening in the “multiliner” (felt-tipped pen) world. If this is something that interests you:

A new post on my blog about how photography, and especially photography done for my own pleasure, turned out to be on of my most wellbeing-positive art projects.

So I have been pushing this small book project whenever I have some spare time, and so another sketch for it is done. This time, color pencils only - Caran d’Ache Supracolor II on ETCHED stone paper notebook of all things.
Exhibition of my watercolor paintings and books at Ogaki Bookstore’s Azabudai Hills branch is still on! I will be there this weekend (the 28th and 1st from 1PM) signing books and live-drawing!
A quite sizable exhibition of my watercolors is starting at Azabudai Hills, Tokyo. A large-scale book fair and original art exhibition (with purchase available) commemorating the first anniversary of the publication of the “Imaginary Storefronts” book will be held for a whole month!

Another one for the sketchbook. This time, a whole picture done with COPIC markers! I just got a nice set, hand picked by Kana, for Christmas, so I was happy to finally try it out! The small shrine in Inokashira Park, Kichijyoji.

Happy New Year 2026!

I'm so happy to know that all of you are out there, geeking out about and supporting art, and a lot of you making art yourselves, too! I wish you the best for all your efforts!!!!

A dragon sketch from me (even though this is supposed to be a year of the Horse), because our son saw a dream with one for his „new year’s dream” (the first dream of the year is supposed to be prophetic in Japan).

And another painting from my sketchbook - this one a view from the train platform of Kichijoji station (I think). The style is inspired a bit by Nicolas de Crecy's works, I like it a lot - I have been browsing his previous sketchbook-book recently.

0.1mm Rotring Isograph and watercolors - Ink works quite well on this paper, actually. This one was very hard to photograph because of how light the washes are.
