Danny Choo, PAX, Bellevue Blue C

Lots to update, should probably update this blog more.

In the "Nihontown" print I included the Dancing Storm Trooper from Danny Choo.
Since I included him in the piece, I sent him a print and he kindly featured it in the background of his post on "Kagami Hiiragi", and "A Week in Tokyo 25".
Thanks for the plug Danny! The below image is from Dannychoo.com.



I normally do not post non Enfu stuff on this blog, but recently I went to PAX to sign some artwork I did. The fans loved it, but I also loved being there it was great fun. I went two days and got to see all the games on the floor, and its looking more and more like E3. I've included a picture of us signing at the Bungie booth.



Also my last post was about the window treatment in the first floor of Bellevue Square right along Bellevue Way. Blue C Sushi will be opening their store early 2009 and my mural was used to dress the windows. Thanks guys!

Bellevue Blue C coming soon

Akimatsuri at BCC came and went again this year. It went well thank you to all those who bought prints at the show. I see this fall festival as the biggest gathering of Japanese nationals in the area. Whereas the Obon is probably one of the biggest gathering of Nikkei, and few nationals show up, Akimatsuri alot more nationals show up from my observations. My initial reasoning for this must be that nationals relate way more to this type of gathering than Obon. I may be wrong in this assumption, but what do others think, have they made this same observation?

Also Blue C Sushi is coming to Bellevue! Blue C hung a window treatment which includes images from the latest Nihontown mural.
Bellevue downtown is growing like crazy and living in Bellevue myself I see the constant forest of building cranes growing out of the Downtown landscape its crazy. When Blue C comes it will probably be the next Kaiten Sushi hotspot in the area. Look out Marinpolis!

On other news Giant Robot LA, SF, and NYC now carry my Nihontown prints!
Blue Bottle and Kobo are my main two outlets in the Seattle area which carry my work, but its great to have Giant Robot pick up some prints, thank you Eric Nakamura!
I wish there was a Giant Robot in Seattle! hint hint.
