Japan, part one

Hello!!!
We are actually on our tour in Japan, visiting Innina's family and the country. We have spend already over a week in Tokyo, shopping and walking in the beautiful little streets, wandering around...
It was nice to see my wife's grandmother again, meet her uncle and his family! This city is so huge, the mixed architecture is amazing, small houses caught between giant buildings, and the people are so great...
Yeah everybody is just so polite and smiling in restaurants, hotels, cafes and shops...
After 8 days in Tokyo we left the city, took the Shinkansen super fast train to Karauizawa to meet Innina's aunt Kazuko and his husband Etsuo, who carves leather in traditional ways. We stayed 4 days there, and we had the honor to work in his atelier, he explained us how to carve leather and gave me some awesome presents!
Kazuko brought us to play pachinko, a loud and funny game with plenty of flashy lights and stuff... I'm sure I could get addicted really easy! It was fun, and we won!!! So we traded our gains for beer for the whole family :)
I love Etsuo and his family, there is a place right here in my heart for them and I can't wait to see them again, hopefully soon...
It was sad to leave them today, as we jumped in the Shinkansen again to go this time to Kyoto, where we are tonight...
Okay this was a lot to read, thank you for the patience you showed to read it all, here comes some pictures!

Otsukare sama deshita!!!

News before Japan.

Hello dear followers! I hope you had a nice st-Patrick day! :)
So I have news for you about this month...
I have tattooed quite a LOT. Or at least, more than i usually do...
So I feel great about finishing big work faster, but exhausted in the same time... Working after hours, drawing all night are things that are a part of this Life of mine.
And I really enjoy it, even when it's hard work!!!
The upcoming week is the last one before our trip to Japan. I am so excited!!!
Okay here are some images...

Some news.

Hello and greetings!
The weather in Geneva has gone warmer these last weeks, and the winter seem to gently let go. I'm glad, because I am lazy and I don't like to be forced to wear tons of clothes every time I get out haha!
I got my back tattooed one more time.
My wife and I went to Zurich and I got to spend time with one of my best friends.
I had dinner with my dad, which I haven't seen for like 8 month because he's gone sailing and lives on his boat. I had great expectations about meeting him. There are so many achievements and accomplishment that I wanted to talk with him about. One dinner is not much time, and my father also had lots of things to tell us.
Oh anyway I hope to see him again soon. I took some pictures of food lately. And random drawings for clients.

I draw a lot more for people than for myself. Part of the equation is the number of hours in one day, another is that I don't feel like drawing for myself sometimes.

Winter treat

Hello readers!
It's been a really great time these last days! I really loved the weather. It's been cold like -8 C , and with the wind blowing it's been even colder!!!
I took a walk out the other Sunday to take a few pictures.
I also have some really cool tattoo projects, that I enjoy drawing and working on. I feel the cold is slowly pulling back, and as the days are getting warmer and longer I think with happiness about the summer days, and all the cool stuff we can do at that time!
I miss long boarding, a friend found a picture of me from a few years ago, so I'll post it here too. Have a nice week, you all!!!
Love, Sylvain.
