The weekend of October 25, 2025 was a momentous occasion as it was the weekend of my most recent art and merch signing event!
As of this post, I am on my annual vacation in the States, hailing from my now 13-year home of Japan. During these vacations, I often get a booth at a local anime/comic convention or secure a space at a local shop. This year's venue was Dark Side Comics, a local shop that my father goes to get the latest comics for his collection. Building a few years of good rapport with the owner Rob, he offered his shop for the afternoon of the 25th.
The afternoon was full of laughs as my event also ending up serving as a reunion with old friends from school, some of whom I hadn't seen in years! All came to show their support and many were surprised at the wide spread and the sheer diversity of my artwork and merchandise. Prints, posters, shirts, and hats were signed and sold with each wave of customers, all of whom expressed keen interest in my series Love or Duty and the new Isaiah Bradley Project.
With the success of that Saturday, Rob invited us to leave everything there so that we could extend the event through Sunday! His hospitality is forever appreciated as I look forward to doing another signing event at his shop again in the near future.
Lastly, a big thank you goes out to all who attended this event and supported my work. Seeing people excited about and enjoying my art is one of the biggest motivations to keep me going as an artist!
