ARTHUR HUANG: Since 2015, I have been making automatic-like drawings. These drawings are made almost everyday during my commutes and moments of down time. The marks are conceived in the moment of drawing so they are influenced by my mood and environment. During the ABC Spring Pop Up Shop event, domestic customers (within Japan) can purchase the Daily Drawings for ¥20000 with free shipping when they select the ABC SPRING POPUP promotion code. International customers can purchase the Daily Drawings for $250.00 (USD) with free shipping when they select the ABC SPRING POPUP promotion code.

JOHN DELFINO:
John is a contemporary artist from the UK residing in Japan. His work raises awareness of how art enhances us in the way we think, live, and experience. He searches for an alternative reality distilling it using traditional and digital methods. It is what he describes as a realisation of the movement of time, and space that we are in. His art is rich and energetic. Well appreciated, exhibited, and collected in Europe, and Asia.
LORI ONO:
Life is stressful, relax with great art, and wonderful stories from Tokyo Collective. Each issue features different stories and unique art styles from a collection of international and local artists.

JULIA NASCIMENTO:
Illustrator and comics creator currently based in Sweden. Organizes art shows and self-publishes her comics and visual stories, mostly using risograph printing. Co-founder of ToCo – the Tokyo Collective, which promotes visual story anthologies and showcases participants original artwork annually.
NATALE ADGNOT:
American-French artist Natale Adgnot makes abstract wall sculptures with thermoplastic adhered to painted panels. Her work taps into cognitive biases such as stereotyping and pareidolia (seeing patterns in random information) to reflect on the elusiveness of truth. Alternating between grayscale and shockingly colorful palettes, her graphic compositions blur the line between drawing and sculpture and invite interpretation by the viewer like seeing shapes in clouds.
