Since i got here i have been completely fascinated with the design of what i think of as 'everyday stuff', ie, pastel pink cars and lavender trains, ornate tile designs on apartment buildings, decorative blossom sewer caps, road blocks shaped like kawaii little frogs and bears....so this post made me very happy indeed! my japanese friends think im strange for looking at this stuff, but they grew up with it ;) ども サンド ちゃん! ♥

The one thing I love about Japan is the random textures and other visual surprises that you can find on any "mundane" street. Total Love! I miss Tokyo!!!! >_< I will definitely see you there some time this year! *hugs*
Hello. I am Hello Sandwich. I am an Australian artist and graphic designer living in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. I love Japan, bento boxes, pantone 107.3 and metallic hologram foil, polka dots and plaid, Holbein gouache and fluoro pencils and I have a huge crush on Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugito. I would like to share with you some of the things that inspire me. I hope you will enjoy.
Love it! :-)
