hipster and her grandma

 Hi guys! Long time no update. The weather is getting ridiculously hot and humid now. If you stand outside for more than 15 minutes, your clothes will get damp.


random illust of girls in Shimokitazawa from a bit ago. It's a district in Tokyo. Before I went there, let's say I didn't know it was possible to love a place this much. Being in Japan already quite feels like you're in hipster-land (vintage-styled shops everywhere, seeing dark rimmed glasses and goatees, men in shorts/skinny jeans, etc), being in Shimokitazawa is like being in the hipsterest of the hipster capital. The crowd is not as young and rawdy as in Shibuya or Harajuku, the people here are a mix of thrift-digging/shisha-smoking/freespirited 20-30somethings and their equally openminded grandmas and grandpas. 

 A lot of my drawings were done while festering on the couch of cute cafes in Shimokitazawa.

Granma was done on the train back. I messed up her right hand, she actually had a normal hand.
