About Me

I am an Artist, Web Designer, Toy Collector and Author. I am available for freelance work in any of the above fields. You can see all of my art at www.quibx.com I co-wrote a book with Brian Flynn called "Tokyo Underground: Toy and design culture in Tokyo". The book is about Traveling to Japan, and all the secret toy and design hotspots. It hits stores September 25. Please buy it."This refreshing guidebook covers the essentials of travel to Japan without getting bogged down by extraneous information. Dispelling a few common myths along the way, Tokyo Underground leads you on a highly entertaining tour of the neighborhoods in Tokyo known for toys and toy culture. To make the most of your time there, the stores highlighted within are ranked in terms of their importance and contain helpful descriptions of their specialties.
Meet the characters that inhabit this world, from the designers to the eclectic toy shop owners. Find out where to eat and how to round out your toy purchases with the coolest in books, magazines, designer t-shirts, sneakers, music and more.

This guidebook includes stunning photography, well thought out maps, and a specialized lexicon of terms and phrases to help you along on your tour of this fun and fascinating culture."
