Bilingual Books
These two puppies have been keeping me pretty occupied of late.
Osaka Cafe Lunch is a beautiful little collection of all the cute cafes around my area and beyond. I have been scoping out cafes and finally found a soy latte that didn’t taste like poo, YATTA! (side note: I am lactose intolerant, not just an inner city wanker). And it also features my favourite haunt Enjoy Cafe, where I had my birthday dinner back in August.
And for animation motivation, I picked up a copy of 100 Japanese Motion Graphic Creators for the year 2008. I have decided that a year in Japan is just not complete until I dust off my After Effects and make a decent animation/film. The book comes with a DVD packed, onedotzero styles, with cool videos to get me inspired.
These little treats are published in both Japanese and English, and you can probably pick them up at Kino Books in Sydney if you were interested. xoxo

Lactose intolerant AND an inner-city wanker?
That’s how it reads to me…

Yes, that’s what I meant.

i also liked “FOIL” (art/photo mag) and “manyo luster” (book). also “paper sky” (travel mag) but don’t think that’s published anymore.
