ToCo, Tokyo Collective, is an artist group that myself and felow Tokyo-based illustrator Julia Nascimento started in 2018 as a way to connect Japanese and International creatives. We wanted to give a chance to both professional and amatuer artists to exercise their creativity by writing visual stories based on a Tokyo-related theme. We collect the finished stories into anthologies, which we aim to publish annually. 

Our newest addition is released this weekend, November 30th.

In ToCo's next edition, "himitsu," eleven artists and writers tell visual stories of Tokyo's secrets. Come to The Landing, the second floor gallery at the lovely August Moon Cafe, in Hamacho, Tokyo to get your copy of the new book, meet the artists, and see a special one-day exhibition of original artwork from the project.

Enterance to the exhibition is free. Food and drink can be purchased and enjoyed on the first floor at August Moon Cafe.

ToCoの新版「himitsu」では、11人のアーティストがイラストと文章のビジュアルストーリーで東京の秘密を語ります。 イースト東京の浜町にあるオーガストムーンカフェの2階ギャラリーで1日リリースイベントを開催します。「himitsu」を購入することはもちろん、アーティストとの交流と原画作品展示も楽しむことができます。

展示会への入場は無料です。
１階のAugust Moon Cafeで食べ物・飲み物が販売しております。

This winter Erica Ward will be displaying a series of watercolor paintings in her home town of Santa  Cruz, Califorina. The artworks will be on display and for sale at Coffeetopia Coffee Shop on Mission Street from December 20th through all of January, 2019. Works are for sale off-the-wall so plan to come by earlier rather than later to see the full series.

Anthology zine, "monogatari," had an amazing turnout for its release party and art exhibition. Drago Flores created a beautiful video capturing the essence of the event and helping us tell about the zine and ToCo, Tokyo Collective.

​Thank you Drago!
