I was in Bali, Indonesia last week.
surfing in the morning and riding bike in afternoon….
then when i passed huge traffic circle, i saw mini skate park in the middle of traffic.
next to helpful traffic police.
it wasnt great.but i was suprised about location.also see some skaters in Bali.
theres so many surfers from all over the world.but never seen skaters before…
so…it was nice thing.

This is one of my best place to eat in Brooklyn.
Veggie Castle!!!
My friends took me there a few years ago.Since then,It become my favorite place.
All food is tasty and makes me happy.
I like this neighborhood too.
I heard this place is used to be White Castle…..
Is that true???

A few months ago….
i saw this from the window of the airplane.
i still dont know what was it.when i woke up from nap,it was there.and at first i was dreaming.
then took this picture.and realize that is real.
it was nice thing to see.made me smile.

In human color psychology,
red is associated with energy and blood,
and emotions that stir the blood,
including anger, passion, and love.

I just made two new zines.
“Crossroad” and “Balinese”.you can check some on my website. www.yurishibuya.com
Zine is available at Printed Matter and Dashwood Books.(but not “Balinese”...soon come.)
hope you enjoy them.

I was in Milano a few days ago.
on the way back to my home from west africa.
it was very cold.but whole illuminations all over the town make a difference.
It was nice to be there for good macchiato and wine!

Merry X’mas! and Have a wonderful Holiday!
