HMB magazine has chosen to feature us for the April issue. For each issue they make special t-shirts which are then worn by the artists they feature for a photo shoot. These photos are then printed in the magazine. For this issue they asked us to collaborate on the t-shirt design. We wrote the letters that will appear on the shirts with light. When the shirts are printed we will wear them for a promotional shoot to accompany the article on us. The above photo was taken by Koji Ishii of five graphics which produces the HMB. It was taken at the five graphics studio where we did the shooting for the tee designs. More news to come as we only wrapped up the shooting for the t-shirt designs. Come back in early April for the promotional...

The shoot included a light painting portrait of the news anchorman. The second shoot was during the set up for the exhibition we did in the fall at MaiMai.
Kousanji Temple, located on a small island in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, was the location of our most recent shoot. They were kind enough to give us exclusive access to the property at night. The buildings are listed as Important National Cultural Assets by the government and many of these buildings house national treasures. To be given access to such a location was an honor. Construction on the temple began before World War ll and took over 30 years to complete. It was built by Reverend Kosanji Koso out of gratitude for his deceased mother. It is a massive complex that includes several different styles of architecture and even includes a very modern and very large marble mountain of a park. The images shown here are illuminated by...
