I know, I know...it's ABOUT time I blogged! and I have so much to blog about! This fall was as crazy as they come and I knew that if I could just make it through to thanksgiving I could let out a giant sigh and that everything would be ok. but getting there was going to be taxing. and it was. but I am on the other side of thanksgiving and am still in one piece. anyway...tracy took tons and tons of pictures in tokyo and he has his on a flicker site. here are the links:
Of course, these are unfiltered so you will see it all from sprinkler heads he thought were interesting to a plate of food that I thought was particularly appetizing to things I asked tracy to get a shot of for me for inspirational purposes to just weird things. But it will give you a taste of crazy tokyo. I journaled on 24 pages while I was there (one of them shown here)...everyday chronicalling the events, my thoughts and other stuff and I have included them all in Art & Life issue 10 (which is now at the printer and is due to be mailed around the 10th of dec.). Anyway...as soon as I get my photos off my camera, I will share some juicy ones here.
that's it for now. enjoy the pictures but leave yourself some time. there are over 600 of them.
Ahh I've been checking back to see how the trip to Japan was...can't wait to read about it in A & L.

Great post. Hey did I miss something? you mentioned issue 10 of A &L was going to the printers. I looked at the A &L section of your website, and it seems like issue # 8 is the latest issue. I need to renew my A &L subscription and need to know if I can still get issue # 9 (will pay extra for it). Please let me know.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Do wishes come true? Well fingers crossed they do because after looking at Tee's journal pages, especially this one I wish to create journal pages as outstanding as these one day.
ReplyDeleteJapan sounds awesome, THANK YOU for sharing, and I shall have a coffee (or three) and browse through your flickr site x
Been scanning through the flickr photos. One question? Are those itty bitty journal books that a lot of the Japanese artist's are writing/drawing in? They look so adorable. Any idea what size they are? Thanks for the pics.
ReplyDeleteHey Teesha. Can't wait to see so many of your travel pages in Art And Life. That's going to be killer! Congratulations on the trip. I know you had been wanting to go for a while. Japan seems so busy and so hip that I feel I would have a melt down there and hit vending machine overload. I have to go check out the pics now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos! I hope you and Tracey had a fabulous 25th!!
