Atsushi Kaneko / Maruo Suehiro Artist Talk Night - Asagaya Loft - 31/08/2018

8/30/2017

I’ve long known Atsushi Kaneko (Bambi, Wet Moon, DeathCo ) is a big fan and friend of Maruo Suehiro so I was excited to pop along to this ‘meet the artists’ event.

The talk took place at a venue called Asagaya Loft (1 minute from Gallery Hakusen). The name being a bit of an oxymoron in English as the venue is located in the basement of a building.


The event was hosted by Maruo’s publisher Seirin Kogeisha and consisted of
a Maruo interview while Atsushi drew and then the pair swapped roles. There was also a discussion with Torico, the director of Shojo Tsubaki, the film based on one of Maruo’s works (see the Youtube clip below!).

This talk was a fans delight with the two guest artists revealing tit bits about themselves ㅁ
nd their lives (stuff like Atsushi loves drizzling olive oil over his natto, Maruo loves fireworks, they both love the French comic festival Angeloume with a passion), before moving on to a questions written down by the audience, and finally a prize draw where audience members had the chance to win gifts provided by Seirinkogeisha and original artwork from Atsushi and Maruo ! The more items you bought from the specially designed menu for the event the raffle tickets you could get.

​The whole event lasted about 3 hours in total and was a great intimate night, check o
ut the photographs below and check out those excited (and extremely lucky!) prize winners below.
