Tokyo Art Book Fair at Vacant

Photobucket

I'm excited that my first creative project in Tokyo will be the Tokyo Art Book Fair!

I will be making my new Tokyo Art + Collage Scrapbook Zine as soon as I arrive in Tokyo in 12 days and launching it at the Tokyo Art Book Fair! The Tokyo Art Book Fair will be taking place at Vacant (listed in the Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide). Hope you can come along!

Isn't this 'Sumimasen' book by Isabelle Boinot just gorgeous! I treated myself to a copy and it should arrive in Tokyo just in time to be a birthday / welcome to Tokyo present for myself!

Japan fans will also love Isabelle's two Japan blogs: Sumimasen, a blog about her Kyoto travels and Tokyo Sugoi focusing on Tokyo!

Below are some spreads from Isabelle's Japan sketchbooks!

Such lovely company with fellow zinesters Yumi Takahashi and Rhys Turner.

Yumi made a beautiful art / collage / drawing / painting zine printed on recycled paper and hand-bound using a traditional Japanese binding technique. And Mr 'whatcha mean whats a zine' Turner made two beautiful zines (printed very professionally on the best paper stock ever), one about a mummy skater and the other was a collection of Holga photographs from his travels in Europe.

Our little 'Quality Row' also included the amazing Lee Tran Lam and her beautiful Paris zine which sold out before lunch time (but if you email her she might make more!) and Sonya Gee and her 'zomg you're sick' care packs.
