できたぁぁぁぁ〜〜！おまたせぇぇ！大分時間かかったわ、これ。すみません！噂通りのコラボTシャツ。弟子師匠合作！！師匠は蛇、弟子は薔薇と蜘蛛の巣。

堀江店限定。数は少ないから欲しい人はやく見に来てぇ！

Finally, the fabled Horie shirts are done and out! What should have taken days took months… (from now on, no more middlemen – really. I mean it this time. You all heard me say it and google has archived it.) Anyway, our first master/apprentice combo design. Wataru did the snake, and I did the flowers, vines, bugs, etc.

This thing is only at Horie and there’s not many of them – come by and grab it while you can!

Got my hands on it today. Congratulations Shige – you deserve it brother!!
今朝、手に入ったぁ！！しげさん、御目出度う御座います！

(This volume is amazing. Not only because of the quality of it’s content but also because it’s simply a beautiful tome – from the layout to the nomenclature… including the new book smell^TM! Beautifully done. If you’re reading this and didn’t reserve your copy I’d get on it – this is a limited edition – especially in Japan. )
（本当に素敵な画集や。内容だけじゃなくて、「SHIGE」自体もほんまに美しく出来上がっている。もちろん、僕の大好きな新品本の香りまで！頼まなかった人、本当におすすめやで！限定発売なんではよせんときえてまぅでぇ！）

Latest issue of Rise Magazine – Japan Special (#5) is out! It’s mostly in French, but even if you can’t speak the language you can appreciate the beautiful images… including a few naked ones of Salmon-san! UPDATE: And now that I look carefully, me too!

HARIZANMAIのGOTCHさんとGAKKINさんの特集ものっています！流石、兄貴ズ！！
Great feature on Gotch and Gakkin of Harizanmai in Kyoto. If you don’t know their art and their style, you are missin’ out!

お描きモンスターズ！針三昧！

そういえば、こんあいだ京都に遊びに行った時HARIZANMAIに顔をだした。いつもいつも一所懸命絵を描いているなぁ！
Speaking of which, I dropped in to see those guys in Kyoto last month. Drawing/painting monsters!!!

For those of you who have been asking about the Peacemaker collaboration shirts:
PEACEMAKERのとコラボのシャツが欲しい人：

PM is completely and totally SOLD OUT.
PMにおいてある分はもう売り切れぇ。

Thanks so much to everyone who came down to Peaceful, and everyone who bought shirts – I’m psyched that the design was so popular.
PEACEFULに来てくれた人、シャツを買ってくれた人、本当にありがとうございました！デザインは気に入ってくれてとても嬉しい！！

If you still want one, I have a few in various colors and sizes left at the shop. Hit me up via mail/phone/webform/FB/Twitter… whatever.
買えなかったら、またチャンスがあります。まだCHOPSTICKには何着も残っていますので連絡ください！よろしくお願いします！

Here’s the item listing on PM’s page including a profile and a frankly disturbing photo of myself.

PMのHPにのっている情報はこちら。そして、自分のきもい顔写真も。
