Well then,
Yan De Hafuri has launched its Spring/Summer line at its boutique in Harajuku, Tokyo. The designs I did for them have evidently proven popualr in this first few days, and they've done what they call a "pearl print". I assume that means the image is all shiny and sparkly. I'm curious to see it firsthand!
I will post the catalogue info on the blog page directly so you can see the concept and my profile (in Japanese only). We are working on a way to make the shirts available through channels other than the Tokyo Boutique (namely, on my shop page), but these things tend to take awhile. Sit tight and I'll do my best.

In other news:
While in Vietnam a while ago, I was constantly scribbling in a notebook; groovy lines for new poems. So after I add a few musings 'bout 'Nam  to the current draft of Nakayubi Two, the second volume of poetry will be complete (amazingly almost 100 pages).
 I think this volume may be a bit more, shall we say, "accessible" than Nakayubi One, as each page of this one is based on a city I've lived in/visited/frequented. So perhaps some empathy can be drawn by residents, travellers, interlopers.
But this is not the real difficulty.
The real difficulty is convincing people that poetry is a proper art form, replete with layered nuance and legitimate wormholes to the intanglible, just like painting, music or what have you, not just a therapy for teenage girls of for scholorly dead French dudes.
Uphill, innit?
I shall not be deterred.
More to follow as the publishing gets closer.

eat a peach,
dave.
