Finally had time to work on my big project today (the one I started in 2022...!) and InDesign doesn't work after the Windows update. 💀

So I started next year's calendar instead - maybe this will be the year I draw one pic each month instead of a mad rush in October...!

Sometimes people ask me where to have breakfast in Japan.

So here are 8 ideas for where to go - including traditional Japanese breakfasts, budget options & the thickest toast I've ever seen! 😱🍞

It's up now on YouTube - enjoy! youtu.be/gFNxm6J0Q3o

Such a relief the US tariffs increase is cancelled. I'm sure no one from the US would order from my shop if tariff increased. 💀

If you're in the US, some items are exempt from tariffs, including books and trip planning decks. 🎉🎉🎉

Found a shop in London that has Orion beer! 🍻 It's pretty rare, even in most of Japan, as it's from Okinawa. It's Phil's fav!

Went on an impromptu trip to London this weekend and saw My Neighbour Totoro the live show! It was so good!!! 💖 I won't give anything away but it was really charming - the characters were all so endearing and magical.

To anyone who saw both Spirited Away and Totoro, which was your fav??

Last one! Just one shinkansen shirt left - they won't be restocked. 🚅🚅🚅

It's size 2XL - on the small side, so may fit XL too (chest size of shirt: 128cm / 50″)

Here's a guide to which sizes are left in the dresses!

My dress manufacturer closed down (due to US tarriffs), so unfortunately I'm not able to restock them. Here's which sizes are left, to save you hunting through the shop trying to find your size!

At the Ota Museum of Art in Harajuku there's currently an "Oji-san Festival - an exhibition focussing on ukiyo-e woodblock prints featuring older men. 😂 It's on until 1st March.

A look back at all my new designs from 2025! Do you have any of them?

Today I opened up a project I first started back in 2022, and haven't touched for 8 months. 😂 I always have way more ideas than time, but here's hoping in 2026 I'll make some of them happen! 💪
