The cutest horny... slimey ball?

Yupp! the sequel to the Cutest Horny Peanut in Japan post. Well, this isn't a peanut, or even closely related to one, but it's under the same set of horny little things. This time we have a marimo (γΎγ‚Šγ‚‚), which is basically a type of algae found in ponds and such. Why algae, I have no idea.

So without further delay, I give you "THE CUTEST HORNY ALGAE IN JAPAN!"



Isn't he just a cutie!

Life update

Well, a lot of good news to report. I recently got a job with a company here in the creative section. My official position is "graphic desiner", perfect for me and exactly what I want. It's really close to my place and takes me only 20 minutes to get there too! The creative section is looking to expand in the near future and are looking to me for the support to do so. Some might be scared, but I'm actually quite happy with it. I will be getting a lot of say in the design aspect of things which is really hard to find in the creative industry... well in the bigger companies at least. So, the only thing left to do is get the immigration part of it out of the way. Hopefully the government gives me the VISA and I can stay for another year. Ugh, immigration office... not looking forward to it.

On the personal side, life if good. Friends are great. My skills as a designer are constantly growing with all the experimenting and free time I've been having recently (which won't be the case coming November 26th). I recently got a hold of the new iPod Touch. This thing is amazing. Nothing else to say but... sexy.

Here is a little update photo of the man behind the blog.



And one of the newest pieces sent off to press today. A t-shirt design for a Japanese clothing company.

Book Review: Logo, Font, and Lettering Bible

There are tons of design books out there. My "to buy" list is just ridiculously long and anytime I across a book that I am thinking about buying; I always wish that there was a review on it somewhere. And I don't mean a major review. I want a review from an actual designer that has the balls to totally smash it if it's bad, and give proper reasons for why it's good. So, I decided to write a review of my own on a book I picked up recently from a book store here in Tokyo. I hope anyone considering this book has a chance to look at this blog post and it will help them decide.

So, I now present you my review.
