A Measure of Safety [Kansai Scene] (2008)


Here's yet another set of images done for the Free English Mag, Kansai Scene.


This is for A Measure of Safety, an article on the rise in crime in Japan published in their February, 2008 issue. I did the cover on this one, and the sinister character up front is my wife. Badass cop or criminal. You be the judge. Everyone's got a theory. Here are the originals plus a different, darker version of the cover and an unpublished image.

Belated Happy New Year! (2007)

Here are a couple of New Year Cards I made to be sent to my wife's friends and family around Japan. The first one was the one that was used.

The Kyoto Atomic Bombing [Kansai Scene] (2007)



Below is the second set of work that I've done for Kansai Scene. This edition is for an article entitled The Kyoto Atomic Bombing for their December 2007 Issue.

I wanted to create some scarier images, taking familiar archetypes of the area and enveloping them in the beautiful light of the most horrible creation of man. Beloware the original scans, plus slightly different versions that they had the choice of.
