Some time ago I was booking hotel in Nagano, where I planned to go for snowboarding. There are many small hotels, and many of them had reservation form, where You may input amount of rooms, guests, children, etc. It is funny that 'Book' button redirects You sometime to the page with phone number or e-mail address, and here could be notice: "Our personell speaks only Japanese". BTW, sending e-mail to japanese-only hotel keeper is working very well. ewww...
They replied me in english, message was composed with google translator, but I have rather vivid imagination and after exchanging with several messages I was able to book room for a week. It was family hotel and they were so kind with me :P ewww...
Because my photo of the markers received so many shares, I realised that many artists are interested about the markers and perhaps want to know where to buy them from. Hence I wrote this guide for artists to shop in COPIC heaven aka Tokyo. ★ UPDATE NOV 2017: Please refer to my new article for latest updates on COPIC marker shopping! >>> Ultimate Guide to Copic marker shopping in Tokyo, Japan
Because my previous guide "Where to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo", was an all-time hit with 30,000 page views, I decided to do an updated version for all illustrators who are planning to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo.
Work began in April after persistent requests from fans to do LINE stickers. I first did a focus group on Patreon to gather feedback and Kurone Shizuhi, a very hardcore LINE user, suggested the most changes (Thank you Shizuhi, Reventon and Jerome!) After finalising the chosen 40 stickers, I inked it and sent it to my assistant to colour. Then it was returned to me a week later and I continued to clean up the lines and tweak the colours for another week or so (on and off). I finally submitted on 18th May excitedly and announced on my Instagram:
He-he, that's good one :)
