A book I helped work on as translator has been published! The King of Circles is available from @50wattsbooks
A very quick sketch Daddy and baby Rei drawing together. Crayons and pencil. I like their line drawing lot! 🥰
A little bit of scribbly sketching in the sunshine.
Ages ago I took a course in woodblock printing and got some tools to do it. This is the first time I've tried it since then. There's obviously a knack to it - the prints came out so much lighter than I thought! But it was fun and hoping to try more. This is also the first time I've really been able to use my new studio properly ☺️
At the weekend I went for a hike up Mount Tsukuba-san, which includes two peaks of Nantai-san and Nyotai-san. It was gorgeous weather and such a lovely day. If you're interested to go, it has great access from Tokyo via the Tsukuba Express to Tsukuba Center and then Tsukuba Jinja Iriguchi!
