Roamcouch in Fukushima

Ryo Ogawa, better known as Roamcouch, recently finished this beautiful art piece in Fukushima. The 43-year-old Japanese street artist spent four days working on the mural and was joined by local kids in spray painting the stars on the side of the windmill.

Influenced by manga, Roamcouch is known for his impressive works that can require up to fifty different layers of stencils. Incredibly, each stencil is both hand-drawn and hand-cut by the Gifu native himself. Roamcouch spray-paints on top of each stencil until he gets his desired results. His work has been featured at solo and group exhibitions in Japan, Norway, London, Malaysia, Germany, France, and in the US. In 2014, he opened his first solo show, titled A Beautiful Life, in New York and achieved an amazing feat of selling out the entire collection.

Roamcouch has a Facebook page that updates quite often and a website where you can find all his work.

Finding moments of genuine peace can feel like a rare treasure these days. But what if I told you that a dose of serenity could be as simple as gazing upon a canvas? Hiroya Kurata 's work makes you want to slow down and find tranquility in daily life. His oil paintings look like delightful children's books or manga that whisper calmness through their composition, their palette, and the very essence of what they depict.

His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. Waiting , his debut solo show at Carl Kostyál , is on view until August 2, 2025.

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.
