50th post!

This is my 50th post! For some reason I thought I would be a lot higher on posts, but I guess laziness took over.

A lot has been going on recently with my life in Tokyo, after leaving my my company I have been on the search for a new design position here. I can't remember if I posted about that, if not, I am now ;) The fruits of my labor don't seem to be ripening very nicely. Time and money are slowly dwindling and it's starting to look more and more like I will have to go back to Vancouver near the end of May. I did have an interview with a really good company here and I'm still waiting to hear back from them, hopefully it's all good news from them and I will be able to stay longer in Japan. I'm not ready to leave yet, 100% not ready, but whatever happens—happens and if I have to go back to Vancouver at least I'm not going back to nothing. Hopefully I can post about good things in the near future!

Enough of that nonsense! I have been busy working on a few design things, mostly personal stuff, but all stuff where I have 100% creative freedom. There are a few display/headline fonts I am working on, one of which is complete with a full basic latin character set and another about half way done. The first one with the complete set is called "Paipu" (pipe in Japanese). The second is still unnamed and unfinished, but it's looking good so far. If you want the font file for Paipu, just throw me an email!

I also got asked to do some comps for a Converse Chuck Taylor shoe by my partner in crime at Unlogik. Here are some comps I did! One of his comps got picked for the final design, but it felt so good to do some stuff without any restrictions!







That's about it for now! Tune in next post, same bat place, some bat time.
