Stacy Strawberry in the Asahi Shogakusei newspaper

The story "Stacy Strawberry" that I wrote and illustrated appeared in the 16th October 2014 issue of the Asahi Shogakusei Shinbun. The story is about a strawberry that longs to be a pineapple and tries to transform herself from a small, red strawberry into a big, yellow pineapple... 
You can read the story in English and Japanese, with optional narration on this link:

Vivid Art Exhibition

Mitsushi Kaneko-sensei runs regular art workshops in the Tokyo and Shonan area for disabled adults and children and their friends. The works of art produced in these "Face of Wonder" art workshops are full of expression and, encouraged by Kaneko-san's guidance, each individual develops their own independent and creative style. Every year there is a Vivid Art contest for the art produced in these workshops. I felt highly honoured to be asked to be on the panel of judges to try and select three winners from over 180 pieces of art. It was really difficult making the selections from so many expressive and diverse pictures... 
  But after a few hours evaluating and discussing the entries the eight members of the panel finally came to a consensus and selected the three pieces that we judged to be the best in the competition (shown in the photo below.) 
                                   

All of the art was on show at the Vivid Art Exhibition held at the Kuramae Gallery in Fujisawa from 4th to 13th October.

ハローウェインイベントin 埼玉の富士見市 Halloween and Storytelling

Coco-sensei and I held a Halloween event on Sunday, 19th October  2:30-16:00 at the Mizutani  Community Centre in Saitama.

Everybody made their own haunted house to go with a Halloween story (chant with sounds!) that I created for the event this year.

I hope everyone who attended had a good time!
