Studying graphic design got me where I am now, and I’m happy to be here, so yes.

Tomokazu Matsuyama

Tomokazu Matsuyama is a new acquaintance to me, but I fell in love instantly in the way he plays with color and forms, and draws shapes with abstract objects. Would love to see his paintings live someday. He is part of a group show in Boston, called Sacred Monsters. Everyday Animism in Contemporary Japanese Art and Anime.

BlogoTheque

Take away concerts a la BlogoTheque. Inprovised concerts in the streets, elevator, bars, boats, everywhere! The stories behind the concerts are worth of reading too. My favorites are Bloc Party, Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros.
