All the way up ...

... And then just a bit higher !



From 5 second-50 floor elevator rides to double decker trams and Octopus cards that work and half kilometer high buildings ( 498 m ) and 6 floor malls full of the most obscure toys and comics !! ... I'm still having the best time ever !!! This place is still on top of the awesome list !! Here's a few shots from yesterday ...






Oh ! And Monday is ........ TOY FAIR day !!!!! Yah ! I know !!! A toy fair in HK , to me , is like what it must be like discovering a secret banana-split city under your bed , to a fat kid !!!!



Off to see a DP show ( David and Pete ! ( Stoner metal )) ...








I miss my Pistolina ! ... PT-11

Double deck'n trams ...

Got my whole routine figured out !! Got my Octopus pass , found out my favourite ferry ride to the Kowloon side of town , my newspaper lady and my morning coffee homie ! I will give my official verdict in two weeks , when I leave , but up to now ... I must say ... For the award of most bestest awesomest city in the world ( that I know of ) ... Hong Kong is looking good and effortlessly working it's way up there !!!

Here's a few shots from the Temple street night market from last night .... Awesomest pile of most awesomest crap for sale I have ever seen !!!!!!!! Will spend every extra penny I have left after this trip there !!










In other news... I finally got to check out my mondo 12 page piece in the last issue of ITA ... Truth is , it was written two years ago but I'm pretty damn happy about it !! Also just got the news that my SkinDeep piece will be out in the April issue ( on sale in February for some reason ) !! That will be my most up to date one ( picture wise and the article was writen only a few months ago ) ... Pretty happy about that too !!


I'm off to the mondo comic book shop !

Laterz ...







PT-12 !!!

HONG KONG...

... The beautiful !!!



Holy moly !!! This place is awesome !! Only 24 hours and I'm sold ( Let's see if that lasts ) but a full day of walking around , 2 gigs of pictures and just the sweetest scenery ever !!!!!!! I could only dream of a place like this !! Movies and comics make it overwhelming but when you see it with your own eyes ... Well ... It's as overwhelming ! A perfect mix of extreme shanty ghetto ( Beijing style ) and super high-tech ( super space station from the future style ) !! More pictures soon of the dark alleys and shady corners of this urban delight !!!!!!! Here's a few shots from the Kowloon side after the ferry ride !







And this is the vew from my new temporary HQ ...



Enjoy your space !! I'm off to the Temple street night market now ...









PT-13 !!!!!

SKorea >>>> HK and a countdown !

Farewell Korea ... Tomorrow I leave for HK and I had a great time here !! It was a bit surreal at times ... A lot of firsts ... Like seeing two friends get married , tasting the local culture in a way I couldn't have by myself and most importantly realizing I have to come down here more often ... The real Asia is a good place to hang !!!

A few nice pictures and a bit of drawings got done today ... I'll upload it all in a few days when I get settled in in Hong Kong ! Also ... Just so you know , I had planed a last update for 2007 on the web-site and ... Well ... I forgot most of it back home in KBH so ... It'll have to wait for when I get back !

Enjoy the first day of the year and please ... Don't make any resolutions this time !







PT-Going on 14 !!

08 ...

Happy new year y'all !!
