wireman.jpg Pencil drawing. I like wires. Wire Man sayochuo.jpg I drew this picture with a red pen during my last week at Chuo Junior High. Goodbye Chuo peoplemix.jpg I drew this picture on an old, crappy photocopier by turning the darkness setting up, copying, and then erasing out some parts. Biggs Printing People Mix toomanydonuts.jpg This is a page from a children's book I wrote and illustrated called "Too Many Donuts" about the perils of eating too many donuts. Too Many Donuts alice.jpg This is an illustration from a scene in "Alice in Wonderland." Alice in Wonderland isabella.jpg A portait of Isabella Rosellini done in red pencil. Isabella Rosellini monsters.jpg A few monsters I drew for use in classroom activities and such. Monsters orangeguys.jpg Some orange guys I drew a long time ago for an old portfolio. I just thought that they were cool. Orange Guys characters.jpg Some very simple characters I developed for various school projects. Simple Characters dansday.jpg A very simple comic I drew about a dinosaur named Dan, for a test. Dan's Day spaceanimals.jpg A bunch of animals in a spaceship. I can't find the finished version, but this is one I scanned in about halfway finished. Animals in Space islandgame.jpg An illustration I did about a game that I invented for use in elementary schools. You don't use the illustration in the game or anything like that; I just felt like drawing it. Island Game moremonsters.jpg Some more monsters that I drew, including myself as a fish. I really like drawing monsters. More Monsters sayonishi.jpg I drew this picture when I left Nishi Junior High. Goodbye Nishi santadog.jpg A picture of a og in a Santa hat that I drew for some New Year's cards. Santa Dog moodfaces.jpg Some pictures of various faces that I drew to use in teaching kids how to answer the question, "How are you?"

Animals creatures.jpg Some more creatures I drew, but didn't bother coloring in. Creatures fruits.jpg Some fruits that I drew for school. Fruits kaibutsu.jpg This is kindof a joke that I made once, and then drew a picture of. In Japanese, kaibutsu means monster, but I wrote it with the wrong kanji and thought that it meant seafood. So I drew a seafood monster. It's like a pun that old farts make, called an oyaji-gag in Japanese. Kaibutsu 海物 MYCcover.jpg This is a cover that I drew for the program of the ALT Mid Year Conference. Basically, the joke is that no matter how much we teach the kids how many millions of answers there are to the question, "How are you?", they always robotically reply, "Imfinethankyoundyou?" Mid Year Conference program wcb13.jpg This is the cover I drew for the 13th edition of the Wonderful Communication Box, a book of school activities published every year by the Koshigaya City Board of Education. The idea is that all of these strange, wonderful things are bursting out of the box. WCB cover eraser-drawing.jpg Here is another drawing that I drew using a copy machine and eraser, by repeatedly copying on the darkest setting and then erasing out the light parts. I did a drawing like this years ago, when I worked at the copy place, but this time the copier was mcuh nicer. Because of this, I actually think that the drawing didn't come out as nice. Eraser Drawing 2006 tools.jpg Some tools I drew to teach the kids the English names of tools. Tools bunkasai-invite.jpg This is an invitation postcard I made for the Cultural Festival (bunkasai) at my school. One of the common traditions of these festivals is haunted classrooms, which is why I drew the schoolgirl in a monster costume, even though we didn't have a haunted classroom. Bunkasai Invite gyugyu.jpg I drew this picture for a magazine story about interesting things you may encounter riding the trains in Japan. This is about what the train looks like when the door opens for me to get on every morning, although actually it is much more crowded. Packed Train train.jpg These are some pictures that I draw for a magazine article about interesting inconveniences you may encounter while commuting on Japanese trains. I have encountered all of these many times, and even been the drunken one a few times. Train Inconveniences headless-horseman.jpg This is a Halloween card I drew of the headless horseman. I tried to make it look like an old woodcut using Photoshoppe. Headless Horseman nengajo2007.jpg This is the picture I drew for my New Year's card for 2007. Sending New Year's cards is a Japanese tradition that I actually enjoy, because I get the chance to draw a picture featuring an animal from the Chinese Zodiac, and then send a bunch of postcards to people. This year is the year of the Boar. Mine is modelled after the teenage biker punks that are so famous in Japan. Biker Boar dimension-tshirt-web.jpg This is a design for a T-shirt that I illustrated for my guitar club at school, which goes by the name Dimension.
