Short Game (adachi mango) approval is extremely painful. I sent in the normal files. but they want the trim size. then they wanted the print files. and then they asked for the JP print files… which was funny cuz they gave us those files as reference… so i think they are scared adachi wont approve

so yeah… it is on for tokyo from 11/3 to 11/18. Let me know if you want an otabrew.

It’s been a…while. i moved out last year. been doing therapy for a little bit. got a bike stolen. started dating again. and ran a marathon… i’m a mess. but i think…i think i am starting to like myself again. its hard. my confidence was wrecked over the summer. but i think i have it again (1/?)

booked my tix for tokyo… 11/3 to 11/18 will be doing some lectures and a lit of meetings with the meti while i am there. so my nights will not be as open but please please make time for beer and food for me if you’d like to see me. may also be apartment hunting. idk… orz

License get. Should be fun. Quirky one-shot. Might squeeze into 2025 but more likely a 2026 title.

all I'm saying is that I just think it's interesting and coincidental that every post-apocalyptic organization, from multiple gangs of absolute weirdos in Mad Max and Fist of the North Star to NERV in Eva, just so happens to have a graphic design/branding squad that delivers home run after home run

Almost done with Short Game… Should be sent for approvals soon. Very cool to work on another mango master. Though I wonder how this will hit, if at all, with modern fans. Mango is bigger than ever but the fringes feel even more narrow than ever also.

License get! More comedy mango! Expect it in 2026.

i’ve been to three places in nyc tonight and each has been solid but not great. one was an old haunt… whuts happuned? i will say the interior design is better as may be the service but the food has flattened in a weird umami way. like is truffle a dominant/prominent flavor now?

I mean it only leads to more questions about what other parts of human anatomy these reptile creatures have
