MUJI Camp 無印良品キャンプ場ポスター

April 21st, 2012

Muji Poster

無印良品キャンプ場のポスターが完成しました！
無印良品の店舗にて５月からご覧いただける予定です。

新村デザイン事務所の新村則人さんとのコラボレーションです。日光と植物だけを使って、実際の植物のサイズのまま、B１ポスターのシリーズを作りました。ワンダフルなプロジェクトになりました。

This years Muji Camp posters have been completed, from May the posters will be on display in various Muji stores in Tokyo and around Japan. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Norito Shinmura san of Shinmura Design Office on this project for Muji Camp (Mujirushi-ryouhin campsite).

For this project we created a series of B1 posters, making life size blue prints using only sunlight and plants. It’s been a wonderful project to work on.

Just got back from Taiwan.

I was doing a little job for Lucite International and stayed an extra day or two to enjoy the sights and sounds and THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) I had a great time, the night markets are FAB! and I even had a trip down to Kaohsiung on the HSR high speed train. If you go to Taiwan of course enjoy Taipei, but don’t forget to travel around this beautiful and fascinating country. Here are a few pics of the lovely food and tea………enjoy.

マイケル’s イギリス料理—ダンプリン入りビーフシチュー

February 9th, 2012
Beef Stew and Thyme Dumplings

Beef Stew and Thyme Dumplings

「イギリス料理はマズいよね〜」というセリフを何度聞いたことか。。。そこで決心しました！小さなプロジェクトを始めようと。私が好きなイギリス料理、特別な思い入れのあるイギリス料理を私が紹介しよう！と。これから少しづつ紹介しますので読んでいただけたら嬉しいです。

早速、昨日はタイムのダンプリンが入ったビーフシチューを作りました。母がよく冬に作ってくれました。家に帰って大きな器に入ったシチューを見つけた時といったら。寒かった体がほかほかになります。母はプレーンのダンプリンを作っていましたが、今回はタイムを入れてみました。ビーフシチューによく合います。

 

Having become very tired of hearing from Japanese people how bad English food is, I’ve decided to start a little project to share some English food that I love or has special meaning to me. Please check in from time to time to see what I am cooking.  :-)

Yesterday I made beef stew with thyme dumplings. My Mum used to make this a lot during the winter, it was great to get home and find a big bowl of this waiting for me, very warming on a cold day. My Mum usually made plain dumplings, I have added some Thyme,  it really compliments the beef stew.

My pinhole picture of Asakusa

I was lucky enough to have one of my images printed in the international creators magazine called Eloquence as part of the “TOKYO-GA” project and exhibition. It’s an impressive magazine and very well printed too. I think I can speak on behalf of my fellow artists who also had work shown in this magazine with a warm “Thank you”

Beautiful….it’s…..REAL GRASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 17th, 2012
Real Green GRASS!!!!!!

Real Green GRASS!!!!!!

Having lived in Tokyo for a good few years now, I’ve sort of got used to the concrete metropolis that it is. There are large parks where you can while away an afternoon in an oasis of green, however due to a large population and high land prices you generally find the closer you are to the city centre, the less green spaces you will see. Around my neighbourhood there are a few tiny parks for kids to play, but there is no grass, just swings, slides, a tree or two, some shrubs and then more concrete.

So today as I strolled along, taking a different route to the station I came upon the above, it was a revelation REAL GREEN GRASS!!!!!! probably no bigger than a few meters square and yet in the sunshine I wanted to sit there and have a picnic, I wanted to be barefoot and feel the green grass between my toes! But seeing as it’s someones private property I took this picture instead and walked on with a smile on my face and a skip in my step. The moral of the story if there is one, is don’t underestimate the colour GREEN.
