Excerpt from

GOTHIC LOLITA.

I illustrated my last three books with drawings and photographs. For Gothic Lolita, I recreated Tokyo in the streets of Manhattan and cast dozens of people of many ages and nationalities. It was a ton of fun and I can't wait to cast the next book. I like to create a Utopia and then document it.
