This is the cover of a new Traveler’s Notebook insert. I used part of a flyer, and assorted stickers to decorate. Some of it is Psn Am branding from the 10 year anniversary collection, featuring a sticker and washi tape. I also feature a Braniff International luggage tag sticker. I also used a banner sticker from the Traveler’s Town collection.
This is a multimedia two page spread, predominately featuring nostalgic gouache renderings of the orange soda I bought. I attached the label from a sushi sandwich, which included tempura with shrimp & vegetables. I used an assortment of colourful daily life stickers with torn edges to give a scrappy look. I wrote about my memories of McNally Robinson in Winnipeg, surrounding it with stickers from a Maruzen/Junkudo collaboration. Next to it is a memo sticker of a panda and a red panda, where I wrote about the annual cosplay summit in Nagoya, and my own memories of cosplay from my youth.
This is another multimedia page where used paper, daily life stickers, and acryla gouache to put it together. The layout is mostly shades of pink and brown. The acryla gouache painting is a rendering of an old package of pink toilet paper from a recent post on the r/nostalgia subreddit. I wrote about how I still sometimes see pink toilet paper in Japan, and how these posts serve as little reminders of daily things that I still experience that are mostly from a bygone era in many western countries.
This is the display from the vending machine where I bought my Asahi Calpis Soda, and it is marketed as a reissued drink from 1992.
