It’s year five of moving from LA to Seattle. In the last year, I have purchased my first down jacket, merino wool layers and most recently — a wind jacket. My closet is slowly becoming gorpcore. It’s only a matter of time. If anyone reads this message, tell my family I love them.

Just in case you don't know Shinya Ohira. He animated famous sequences in Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, Animatrix (Kid's Story), Lu Over The Wall, Ping Pong (opening), Space Dandy, Mind Game, Windy Tales... Can't wait to see his Star Wars short.
