Are you in Tokyo?
If so, drop by the very cool “oddities” store Aquvii near Shibuya and pick up a copy of my appropriately named zine “Spirit of America”.

Fun with Stock Photos: Dads on Phones Holding Babies
A new video I made with College Humor about highly specific stock photo characters!
Starring Streeter, Josh Ruben, and Sam Reich, with animation help by Will Rahilly.
I shared a house with the Missing Link for a semester in college.
He was actually a really fun guy to hang out with.
His real name was Sahelanthropus Tchadensis.
We called him Mike.
He transfered from SUNY Binghamton mid-year.
Can’t find him on Facebook.

This is the office where I worked in 2007. That’s me on the bottom left corner, hard at work making the Meth Minute 39 series for Frederator Studios ( who were at the time developing a little show you may have heard of called “Adventure Time”).
See that long-haired guy all the way on the right side? That’s David Karp in the preliminary stages of inventing Tumblr. At this point, the only people who had heard of Tumblr are in the room. A lot can happen in 6 years! But don’t worry, everyone… he knows why we all love Tumblr and he’s not going to let it get ruined! I got a feeling.

If This Had Truly Been The God’s Plan
Tokyo, Japan
So after we left Seoul, we flew to Tokyo. This is a city I never thought I would actually get to visit, but there I was. It was like spending a week in an optimistic vision of the future; A spotlessly clean metropolis where subways arrive silently and exactly on time, everyone is well-mannered and considerate and the sushi is fresher than fresh. As an illustrator, I couldn’t get enough of the cartoon characters you find on every storefront, warning sign, and advertisement (I’ll post those next week). Every nook and cranny of the country seems to be carefully designed for maximum aesthetic perfection. I spent 6 days in a state of perpetual amazement and confusion. The best part is, we were sent there by Lush to plan an art event later this year… so I’ll be back soon!

Seoul, South Korea
The first couple days of my recent trip were spent here in South Korea; checking out ancient temples, eating bibimbap, fighting jetlag with coffee, and so much exploring on foot. Of course the real reason we were there was to attend the Lush sponsored K-Pop concert at a former Olympic stadium where they showed a psychedelic music video I made with my friend Will Rahilly.
Seoul is a fascinating city with mouth-watering food everywhere. It’s a party town where people drink fermented rice wine from cold metal dog-bowls (better than it sounds). No, I didn’t see Psy but I did walk around Gangnam quite a bit and people do have good style there.
Tomorrow, I’ll share my Japan pics.
