  • Drawing for Life

    —

    ,

    Adrian Hogan breathes drawing. Adrian is yet another person I’ve met through PauseTalk – yes, I tend to meet the most interesting people through my PauseTalk series, which is the main reason I started doing it all these years ago. And he draws. A lot. Adrian is a freelance illustrator based here in Tokyo, and…

  • Strike a Pose, There’s Nothing to It

    ,

    Strike a pose. Last week – on Saturday, which was the day “Fashion’s Night Out” was held – as we were walking down Omotesando, we were stopped by a group who were taking street shots for Vogue Japan, to be used on the magazine’s website, and possibly other sites. They of course wanted to shoot…

  • Eighty

    ,

    Lordy, lordy, look who’s… 80. The next edition of PauseTalk is just over a week away (happening on Monday, July 7), and not only is it the Vol. 80, but it also marks the 8th anniversary of the series. (Well, last month would have been the true anniversary, since I started it in June, but…

  • PK Event on Wednesday

    —

    ,

    Just like I usually put PauseTalk on hold during August because of the summer slowdown (people tend to go awway on holidays), so does our regular PechaKucha Night series, but on the PK side of things, we are having something just as good this Wednesday (August 24) in the form of a special Heineken-sponsored PK…

  • No PauseTalk in August

    —

    ,

    I already announced it when the last PauseTalk came around, but just a reminder that next week there will be no edition, as I usually skip August — with so many people on holiday, it’s hard to get a good attendance. The next PauseTalk (Vol. 53) will be held on September 5.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 52

    —

    ,

    I sometimes have photos to share from a PauseTalk event, but this time, since Luis Mendo was in attendance, you get to see last night’s attendees (to Vol. 52) in illustrated form (above). We were a smaller group — a lucky “13” — and the talk this time mostly revolved around questions of art in…

  • PauseTalk Next Monday

    —

    ,

    Just a reminder that PauseTalk Vol. 52 is just around the corner, happening this coming Monday (July 4) at Cafe Pause, with a regular start time of 20:00 (feel free to come earlier though to hang out before the official start). I’m quite looking forward to it, as I have a few friends in town…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 51

    —

    ,

    Let me start by again thanking everyone who attended last week’s PauseTalk Vol. 51. It was a terrific night, and one of the most spirited discussions we’ve had in a while — I had to reign it in a few times, which is absolutely fine. For some reason, as the cafe manager told me, a…
