Tokyo is a hyperreal city in a country with a very unique culture. An eye-popping urban landscape filled with pachinko parlours, video arcades, neon lights, shrines, and 12,369,000 souls.

People reading this blog from America, or from anywhere other than the United Kingdom in fact, will probably not know who this guy is. When I was a kid I used to watch this guy on TV every week. He had an art programme which had a major influence on me at that age. He would show you how to draw and paint, and his female co-presenter would do craft pieces. He inspired millions of British kids to get into art and design, including me. Sadly, he died in the early hours of Sunday 18th January aged 83. But that’s a pretty good innings I reckon.
