Nisei Fishing Company Apparel & Craft Shows
About a year ago I was asked to join an annual Asian-American craft show in the area called Koi Krafters. I don't consider myself a "crafter" but I was intrigued at the idea. The organizers of the craft show asked me to come up with some apparel for Asian-American men, since the majority of their …

Don’t Forget About This.
Actor and comedian Seth Rogen appeared before a congressional panel to talk about how his mother-in-law battles Alzheimer's.

Share & Do Good Moved! (across the street)
The other day, I was able to visit my friend Lilly's store Share in Fullerton, CA. She was able to move to a larger space that really gives the store a much "grander" feel.

Artist Trading Cards #3
For the 3rd gathering of our ATC gathering we met at my friend Marian's house. Marian goes to church with us and interestingly, her family's house was used in a Kelly Clarkson video a few years back. We watched the music video while we sat in her living room! I used my pyrography pen (again) …
