Tokyo Typewriter Art Prints Are Now Live

Evening in Tokyo Prints Now Live

My Evening in Tokyo prints are finally here! I am very proud to present my latest typed scene depicting a neon-lit evening at Shibuya Crossing, widely regarded as the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. This artwork marks my first ever typewriter piece set in Japan and one of the most ambitious projects I have created to date.

Tokyo Tower Competition Winner

Just in case you missed yesterday’s newsletter announcement, I am delighted to share that the winner is Robyn Heaney. Congratulations, Robyn! I have been in touch to arrange delivery of the original artwork.

Thank you to everyone who took part and for your continued support. I truly appreciate every entry. If you missed out this time, please do not worry. More competitions for original artworks will be coming very soon!

Evening in Tokyo is my first Japanese scene and my most technically demanding artwork to date. Typed entirely on my trusted 1930s Smith Premier typewriter, the piece took four weeks to complete and features hundreds of pedestrians moving through the organised chaos of Shibuya Crossing. It is also my most colourful work so far. I have used every vintage colour ink typewriter ribbon in my collection to bring the glowing signage, reflections, and movement of the crossing to life.

This artwork took four weeks of continuous typing to complete. I began the piece in January and finished it just two weeks ago. The challenge extended beyond the typing itself, as I also documented the process from start to finish. A camera remained fixed on a tripod for the full four weeks while I worked, capturing the artwork as it slowly came to life.

The video for this piece is now live on Instagram. If you spot a hidden message or detail that resonates with you, please leave a like and share it in the comments. I genuinely enjoy reading how people connect with these locations and moments in their own way.

I have already read so many wonderful messages about people’s plans to visit Tokyo and Shibuya Crossing in the near future as part of a holiday, and it has been especially touching to hear that several of you even got engaged at this very location. It is incredible to think that the place I have captured in type-written holds such personal memories and future dreams for so many of you.

Take a Closer Look 🔍

The up-close shot below reveals some of my hidden typed messages and details.

Within the crowd, countless miniature stories unfold. For example, you may spot a couple alerting a man and woman to a dangerous hole in the road ahead, a tourist limbo-ing beneath his own selfie stick, or a gentleman proudly carrying an enormous cake. Scattered throughout the scene are pedestrians walking their pets, including Shiba Inu dogs, a breed closely associated with Japan.
