I'll be appearing at the Sapporo Parallel Museum Sunday, February 8 2026, 11:30-18:30, at the Sapporo Underground Walkway, between exits 4 and 6. This is an arts event done in conjunction with the Sapporo Snow Festival. My new book, the Blossoming City should be printed in time to release at the event!

One of my favourite works is Alone in Kyoto , about my experience exploring Kyoto over four days. It's reflective and captures a time in my life when I was quite unsettled. Ten years after I made it, I've translated it and published it as the second book under the Square Comix imprint. I'm selling at events and online at Melonbooks https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=3299901

Next event is Elysian 46, on January 18, 2026, at Sapporo Community Plaza.

A short overview on the work of Dan Clowes, and a deep look at one of his best stories, Like A Weed, Joe , from Eightball 16.
