small world (in tokyo)
[Click on image to enlarge etc.]
Chris Heathcoate, a British blogger who works for Nokia in Helsinki [I hung out with him at Reboot last year in Copenhagen], was recently in the Hotel Miyako in Tokyo, when he went into the hotel men's room. There he stumbled across a framed gapingvoid print. Small world.
[Back story:] The manager of the hotel is an old friend of my cousin. The former bought the print off me a few years ago.

But you realize, of course, that you've now handed documented ammunition to those who've branded your cartoons in the past as bathroom humor.

This was funny - the first thing that blew my little jetlagged mind in Tokyo. It's a nice hotel, too. I'd love to know what the clientele make of the cartoons :)
Anyway, still at Nokia, still in Helsinki, and should be at Reboot again this year.
