When I lived in Japan, convenience stores (konbini) were a special place. At the time I was struggling to understand the Japanese language (I still do!), and I often felt very lonely. When talking to someone in Japanese, I would misunderstand a single word, and that would change the entire meaning of a sentence. So frustrating! So much uncertainty! 

On those difficult days, convenience stores were a safe place, a place I could count on.  Walking in the front doors to the sound of 'Irasshaimase!' (Welcome!) made me feel strangely at home. If you've ever lived or traveled in Japan, or if you've watched slice of life anime, I'm sure you can relate. 

This print is a love letter to Japanese convenience stores... and also mecha. I love mecha too.

The left caption says 最速のメカ配送, which means 'the fastest mecha delivery'.

The right caption says 店員さんが「いらっしゃいませ」と声をかけてくれると、いつも安心する, which means 'I always feel at ease when the staff shouts, 'welcome!''.

NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:

1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!

2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.

Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.

FRAMING:

This print looks great in a standard 16 x 20 frame (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).

Inside the frame, you can place your print over a sheet of colored paper for a lovely effect. Canson makes textured paper in many colors. It looks great at a low price. Here's a link.
