I’m pleased to announce that I will be participating in Bubbles Con in Richmond.
The program will include a talk with Ryan Holmberg as well as a screening of my animation at the ICA.
I hope to see you there.

I was highlighted in issue No. 337 of Forme.

A new writing series has begun.
“Kondoh Akino no Iroiro”
It’s a mix of diary entries, essays, short short stories—or perhaps none of those. Just various things.
A woodblock print created in collaboration with the Adachi Foundation for the Preservation of Woodcut Printing is currently on display at the “Ukiyo-e Now” exhibition, held at the Hyokeikan of the Tokyo National Museum.
